If the Tier V ships can honestly be upgraded to remain viable, than I'd prefer to see the new ships fill some holes in the shipyards for both KDF and Starfleet.
To give one example: Right now, the only Federation carrier with strong Tactical boff seating is an escort. The KDF doesn't have a Tactical carrier at all. I'd love to see two of these "7 to 10" new ships be true Tactical carriers, so that there are options other than the Scimitar and the Jem'Hadar Dreadnought.
I would imagine they have held off on a Fleet variant of the Marauder becasue A) It wasn't super popular (hence why they gave it waya fro free briefly) and Becuase they are running out of ships to Make fleet-capable?
I would be VERY much down for a T-6 version with the ability to add Warbarge components in the editor.
A Koro'tinga design that looks more modern than it's K'tinga predecessor rather than a D4 or D6 throwback. It would be nice to see them modify the Koro'tinga and give it nacelles that are like the Vor'cha class but proportionate in size and also a solid neck with no braces. Doesn't seem like too much to ask. Give it a D8 battlecruiser designation with a Klingon name to go with it. The final variant of the D7 before it was completely abandoned for more modern designs.
I posted this in another thread, but I think it deserves another look.
Baluar Siege Warbarge
Hull: 50k
Boff Slotting: Com Tac, Com Sci, Com Eng, Com Universal
Enhanced Red October Battle Cloak
Console Slotting: 5 Eng/5 Tac/5 Sci
3 Hanger Slots with 3 Uber Rare Orion Slavers
5 Forward Weapons Slots equipped with Guramba Javelins with 10 second CD
5 Aft Weapon Slots with Ultra Rare 360 Gorn Rock Throwing Weapons
This way you get all three of the ships you want in one nice, powerful ship. You can farm contraband, unleash 5 Javelins in an Alpha Strike and should you miss it plays the Russian National Anthem....
Until the Romulans came along, the KDF had battle cloaks and enhanced battle cloak. The Romulans have all of that, and their singularity powers as well. Not only does the KDF need new ships, but something to make them unique again in the star trek universe.
What I would like to see is an updated B'Rel with a special torpedo launcher console that reduces the minimum firing delay of torpedoes from 1 second to 0.5 seconds. Imagine firing 4 torpedoes every 2 seconds, instead of 2 every 2 seconds......
It doesn't need extra console slots, just the special console.
I want to see a device (a DEVICE, not a console) that is a cloaking device for the KDF. It can add a standard cloak to any ship without one, such as Voquv or Garumba. IF the ship already has one, it will make it a battle cloak. If a ship already has a battlecloak, make it reduce cooldown time on that cloak to 2 seconds, so if they want they can manually pop in and out of cloak, but they will suffer lack of shields and be vulnerable if they do.
This is how the fed cloaking device should work as well -- as a DEVICE that is slotted, not a console.
I think that would go a long way to making KDF a bit more relavent in the trifecta, though I personally would say get rid of the trifecta and start blurring faction lines.
I'm less cynical, I think it will be a 4 Fed ships (escort, science, cruiser), a 3 Romulan Warbirds including an a new Scimatar like ship, and three KDF ships, Battlecruiser, Raptor, and BoP. (Some maybe delayed).
Plus I'm betting that a bunch of new Fleet Verisons of Ships get released.
I think I want one ship. A Destroyer, or Raptor. 4+/3 guns plus a spinal gun similar to the Bortasqu Autocannon (single-target). 5 Tac console slots, 1 Sci console slot, assuming 11 total consoles on T6 or T6 "Fleet". BOff layout - anything A2B-able, strong Eng secondary to Tac. I say Destroyer simply because I want a decent hull, too, but nothing too big, somewhere betweein a Mogh and Qin size (leaning hard towards Qin) would be best. A tip of the hat to the A-10 Warthog. Good ability to hull-tank and survive, and a BFG. The main reason I would rather it be classed as a Raptor is so it can equip Escort/Raptor-only console(s)
Probably should throw in wanting a BoP too, something building off the Refit B'Rel but more current in design. But really, I want a KDF War-targ.

Thank you, Cryptic. The MaHa seems to have a Console to do exactly what I was looking for.

...and as i feared, no t6 BoP. im not naive enough to believe that the 2 ships revealed today are not the only ships the kdf are going to see for at least a year. so now feddie ships are including cloak as a standard feature, and to address this the kdf... do nothing?
im finding it increasingly difficult to hold out any kind of hope for this faction. i dont know why i bother anymore.
i would like to see a cstore d7m tk'tinga retrofitted to have a commanders tac, eng, and science officer with 1 universal ensign or lt officer. 3/3/3 consoles with 1 universal console slot and maybe a simular tier 5 constitution and tmp ships but not be t5u or tier 6
how about 300 to 400 hundread meter bird of prey/raptor hybird for a k'vort class that is more raptor class then bird of prey class?

Know the difference
It could save your life...
Actually I'd settle for a reskin of my Bortasqu that made it look like a Balaur, even if only to me!
I don't care about Raiders nor Battlecruisers at this point.
...sooooo pretty combined with my fireworks

Actually, if they use the Kumari wing cannon code/design instead of the carrier pet design, BOP wingmen would be pretty cool.
