I am sick of discovery show ships and items being added to the game. I'd rather see more of the canon timeline ie {tos tmp tng ds9 voy}
Discovery IS part of the canon prime timeline. CBS makes the decision of what is and is not canon, no one else. Most of the older designs already have T6s though, and the Steamrunner and Oberth have both recently been teased for a future release. Discovery is new and is helping to attract new players, so ships from that show are going to be given priority, if you don't want them then simply don't buy them.
just because cbs says a thing doesn't make it so. i $7d were canon, why so many non-canon changes. same with jarjartrek. neither are canon

Good advice! I follow that as well. I am no fan of Discovery, Picard, or Kelvin content. So I do not buy it and ignore as much STO game content that includes it as much as possible. I feel no loss by ignoring it or just considering it an alternate universe like the Mirror universe.
People who like it, buy it and play it. People who do not, avoid it. STO has broad enough content to keep a broad fan base happy.
If the Discovery content brings in more players and it generates more revenue for Cryptic, that is a good thing for STO.
Of course, it will be hilarious if someone has only ever watched Discovery, joins STO and discovers everything else. I still say that the Voyager transporter effect knocks the socks off the DSC for an initial example.
Well, given that VOY takes place in the mid-to-late 24th century while the Discovery was built over a century earlier, it would be frankly surprising if the transporter weren't better on the Voyager.

Actually, it does. CBS owns the IP so they have the final say on everything. You're free to come up with your own head canon if you wish, I certainly have for Star Wars, but CBS canon will always be the only canon that actually counts no matter how you or anyone else feels about it.

Unfortunately for OP, Cryptic mentioned that CBS gave them a lot of Discovery ship models to work with at the start of Disco's recent season, which only means more Disco ships following the Janeway, Jovian, and Book's Frigate. As well, the main story content is looking to be more Disco too, since Cryptic also mentioned having asked CBS for some lore-related details to make future story content with.
But fret not, Cryptic also said they're looking into working in some Lower Deck stuff too, and they recently refreshed the Andromeda's skin, modeled out a new T6 Oberth, and a T6 Steamrunner.
They also previously mentioned they might revisit the Terran Empire story they started, so there's a small chance of at least getting T6 Mirror ships for less-popular ship types (Patrol Escort, DSSV, Achilles, etc), given that they've already marketed the Terran Legendary Gal-X (as opposed to a normal Legendary Gal-X). Could give all the Mirror ships a bit of a model and skin update, and make back some of that effort via Mirror Cross-Faction packs.
And if we're lucky, we'll get ships from SNW (ETA 2022), S31 (TBA), Picard (ETA 2022), that one CG Trek cartoon, and maybe Kelvin Movie IV (ETA 2023), given all of those are in the pipelines.
I rather get Discovery races than Discovery ships, where are those Disco Andorians, Disco Tellarites, Disco Saurians and Barzens Cryptic?

Ok... before this gets any more out of control... I'm gonna shut this down.
Everyone is entitled to their opinions, however as stated, the IP Holder dictates what is and isn't canon. And the current IP Holder is CBS, and they have decreed that Discovery is Prime Timeline Canon.
We're not going to get into yet ANOTHER debate over Canon status, what qualifies as Canon to some people, potential gatekeeping behavior, ect.
Also as stated earlier in this thread, if you don't like a ship, don't get the ship. Just because someone doesn't like it doesn't mean someone esle won't.
