T6 Mirror Nova Engineering Scout?

T6 Mirror Nova Engineering Scout? Or Science Dreadnought? Any chance we might get either of those?

Failing that, is there a method of further upgrading a T5U to a T6 Variant?

There's no method or plans to upgrade T5-U into T6. That would require changing boff seating, adding 1 seat and a specialization. The path between since 2014 has been to rerelease the ship, allowing for some more substantial revisions (see. Cyclone most recently). You can bring T5-U to T5-UX2 with a couple rounds of experimental upgrades, which makes the difference between T5-U and T6 even more marginal (especially to the actual needs of STO gameplay where vanilla T5-U does absolutely fine).

As for, "are there any plans for [insert specific ship here]" the answer is always going to be "Perhaps but we have no information because Cryptic does not discuss far upcoming content with any degree of particulars." Google Peter Molyneux for why this is industry standard practice.
