I would love to see a T6 version of the Star Cruiser. I have always loved the look of the Star Cruiser and thought it could be upgraded to T6 variant with a more tactical stance.

The Devs have already said there are NO plans for T7. At all.
Peace...
A Legendary is unlikely. The T5 Star Cruiser doesn't even have a C-Store variant. Just the base 3 variants and a Fleet. They've been leaning more towards some of the more iconic ships with lots of variants now for Legendary.
But odds are we may see a T6 down the road. After all the Luna got a T6, and she never had a c-store T5.
As for the legendary treatment: to me the ship is iconic enough. I know, that's just my opinion.
But given how long this ship, an unique Cryptic design too, has been in the game, it has something of an unique veteran status.
It's basically the William Shatner of STO ships. I think that warrants a special treatment at some point.
Multiple ships skipped the fifth tier to be honest.
When they first made the Legendaries, they went for iconic ships, with or without options.
However they have decided now that one of the requirements would include having multiple customization options. So they've narrowed down the eligability of Legendary ships. I wouldn't be surprised if at some point we get a Legendary Bortasqu' sine that is the current in game KDF flagship class, but the Star Cruiser is probably not likely. Legendaries also seem to try and go for more Canon ships as well, as other than the Odyssey, which is semi canon thanks to comic books, all the legendaries except for the Vesta have been on screen canon. Vesta has a lot of options and is beta canon from the books.
No such thing as a "maquis/voyager kitbash" in the shows. The closest thing is the Yeager class which uses an Intrepid saucer and a whole freighter (of a type seen for a second or two at the end of a ship-to-ship communication) for a secondary hull. And yes, the freighter used a modification of the same physical shooting model they used for the maquis raider, several Federation fighters ranging in size from a shuttle with a bubble canopy to something about the size of two runabouts side by side, and lord only knows what else they used it for.
TNG was infamous for reusing models at different scales like that, with the other Berman-era shows following in their footsteps and reusing the same models for all sorts of other ships. For instance, the ship model they use for the Tellarite carrier in STO was used as Tellarite ship and several other race's ship in ENT. Even worse, Ex Astris Scientia lists no less than 22 different uses of the Husnock ship model modified to represent other ships.
