Show some love for the D'Kyr ship (illogical!)

There is one thing about me, it is my love for all things Vulcan, I about collected what I could related to that species. One thing missing is the D'Kyr science ship, but 2,000 Zen for a T4 ship is a little steep. I know it comes with a shuttle, but still...
Could we see, in the near future, a retrofit/fleet version of this ship? Maybe even a 3 ship pack with tac/eng versions? In addition, any possibility to pull the shuttle off the pack and sale it by itself in the C-store?
Bottom line, I would love to see this ship being revived and brought forward. The graphic asset is there for the most part. All we need is reviving stats and find a spot for it in the ship balance system. I know you would find one happy player, and I am sure there will be quite a few who would buy one...
Thanks...

I actually asked this in the latest 'Ask Cryptic' and I guess we'll see if it gets answered. Particulary I asked about a fleet version of the D'kyr and the possibilty of a unique Vulcan bridge to come attached to the fleet version.
I have also heard some speculations that Cpt.Geko is working on somekind of "Founders of the Federation" starship pack which would have a Vulcan cruiser (the one from ENT I think), but for now this is pure speculation as far as I know, a dev. may shed some light in this thread if they feel like it.
Also, I'd like to note that the D'kyr is not a T4 ship, but rather T5. I don't think it needs reviving her stats, but rather boost them a bit on a fleet variant. Other than that I actually like the D'kyr the way it is. I wouldn't take away the shuttle from the ship on purchase as well, it's kinda' part of the D'kyr. However I think they could make it availible for separate purchase only as a shuttle.
It would be lovely to see the Sh'Ran cruiser or even the Surak class make an appearance in STO, I'd buy both of them in a heartbeat.
Just as you said, here is one more player that would be extremely happy to see any new Vulcan assets in STO.
Vulcans are basically just as important in the founding of the Federation and should get more representation in star ships. I own the D'Kyr and found it to be a neat little ship but agree it needs to be brought up to the end-game content that exists today. Give it another unique feature or up it stats and BOFF slots.
You say it as you know a new Vulcan ship is comming, so I'm going to ask anyway - Do you have some info that such a ship is comming?
I don't have links to any of the tweets but I remember reading them somewhere and there is this link as well.

I sign it also.
We want more vulkan stuff.
Also from enterprice series would like to see costume options for vulkans.
Except it's a Tier 5 ship. It just doesn't have a Fleet variant, and Fleet is Tier 5+.
The ship you get at L40 is T5.
If I ask you a question it is not an insult but a genuine attempt to understand why.
When I insult you I won't be discreet about it, I will be precise and to the point stupid.
Sufficed to say, if they did make a fleet version of that, I would probably end up buying it, because out of all the Vulcan ships, that skin was always a fave of mine, ever since I saw one on Enterprise.
Oh man, I love the classic look of Starfleet ships, but the Vulcan ones are pure beauty. I could take the D'kyr and fly it around in sector space just to look at it.
We have seen improving the animations of the D'kyr being mentioned in Tribble patch notes lately, so maybe this is a signal we'll be getting a fleet version? I do hope that the fleet one has that ens. universal like you suggested.
And about the eng.major Vulcan ship you mentioned, I'm hoping that it would be the Surak class making her appearance in STO. It is a cruiser and it could be one as well in STO. That would mean one more awesome Vulcan ship for us!
I hope we'll see the Surak Class in a forseeable time as a science cruiser in STO.
I think it's a very beautyful and unique ship, just as the D'Kyr.
Because of it's slim shape, i think a 25th century version of the surak class should be scaled up, so compared to other ship in STO it wouldn't look tiny next to a Odyssey or D'Deridex.
OT:
I haven't bought the D'kyr myself, because it's BOFF layout just isn't my cup of tea and certainly not worth 200 ZEN from me.
In my opinion, it would be "logical" to have the Science Lt and ensign BOFF slots become universal. I wouldn't hesitate to buy that ship right away.
I would hope for that as well. If the Surak class is brought to STO, I'd hope they make it a wee larger than it was in ENT, because in STO that would look too small for a cruiser. In ENT it's dimensions were smaller than the D'kyr.
However, I wouldn't want it to become too big, like some ridiculously oversized things in game. I'd say make it the size of the Excelsior, maybe a just bit longer/wider and it's fine.
Yes it would look strange if it where too big, like let's say a Scimitar. But on the other hand we shouldn't forget that it is essentially just a narow cigar with a ring attached. So i think it can be made about as long as a Sovereign or even a bit longer, without looking too massive.
Sorry, just my opinion. IMO, a F2P game doesn't need to (basically) restrict every cool, non-"standard" thing to a cash shop just to succeed financially.
...But yeah, it really should at least be improved. The BOff layout isn't worth getting the ship, as pretty as it is. I'd really like to throw the Jem'Hadar set on it though, because that would look AWESOME assuming it works the way I think it does.
