T6 Ships Speculation - What would you like to see next?

ddesjardinsddesjardins Member Posts: 3,056 Media Corps
OK, we've had our first taste of the Guardian which by all accounts looks to be one heck of a cruiser. This coming Friday, we're getting a chance to see the Dauntless in action.

But these ships are just the first in a series of new T6 ships we're more than likely about to see before December.

What would you like to see? I have 2 I'd like to see:

T6 Carriers for the Federation, Romulans and Klingons.

I realize the fed version may be a pipe dream that 'just doesn't fit' with the IP. But a full on Science Carrier for the Romulans and a fully-tactical version for the KDF would be my preference.

What would set them apart other than more dakka? Perhaps a third 'intelligence' hangar with a new class of pet. Just an idea.

T6 Klingon Science Destroyer

I realize this too may be a pipe dream, but finally having a true KDF science ship would be a welcome sight in the KDF. I'm not suggesting a Vesta retread (although that would not be bad), but something on a grander scale - perhaps something with built-in tactical overkill that only the KDF could design..... Maybe something based on the Siege Garumba reworked for the KDF, with a battle cloak and science abilities.

A KDF player can dream can't he?

What would you like to see next?

    I'd have to say a T6 version of the intrepid so that it actually advances as well perhaps with a better version of the ablative armor console power.

    1. a T6 Intrepid coming with its own special console and a set bonus if you have both this console and the ablative armor from the T5 version equipped. Maybe a nanite torpedo launcer that ignores shields and upon impact deals massive damage over time.

    2. a T6 Romulan Science Warbird (no destroyer !), with a commander science boff seat and a typical 3/3 weapon slot configuration.

    3. a T6 Klingon Science ship

    Ill take a Typhoon [3] pack or something. I would also like to see ships like this with a weapon range modifier, like 5km or even 10km extra range. [total of 15 or 20km] Just to have a good long range ship for once.

    the guardian is a retrofit d'deridex....

    no miracles expected there....

    "one heck ofa crusier" is a bit much. Its probably the fist decent starfleet cruiser (aka: a jack of all trades, as they should be....) cryptic has made.

    They delivered several viable combat cruisers with the excel, tac ody, and assault cruiser lines but they never mad a ship that felt like starfleet: aka a mix of sci/eng(tac.


    This is the first cruiser to actually BE a starfleet ship. Too bad we can't have a galaxy skin for it. Would buy.

    The Odyssey should get a T-6 version automatically, since it is still the newest version of the ENTERPRISE line of ships.

    Having to up-grade it to be half of a T-6 is kinda-sorta stupid in my opinion.

    T6 BoP or T6 Vo'quv. Feds and Roms both have all their ship types covered (Roms only really had fast-tac or slow-tanky, everything else was details), but the heavy sci carrier and the BoP were launch classes.

    Yes T6 Bop .

    And since Aquarius got his 5 tac console at escort stats (it is actually a little escort) I think this T6 Intel Bop should have 5/2 weapons slot , 5 tac consoles, battlecloak in fleet version.

    T6 Mirror Faction Packs - Mirror versions of every available Faction ship, including T6 versions of the T4 Lockbox ships. Preferably at a later stage when other specialist classes are available to fit the Mirror Universe theme. The access to alternate Console/BOff loadouts, T6 status, Mirror Registry prefix, and Mirror skins means no need for special consoles or extras.

    T6 Jupiter 3 Pack - Cannon broadside boat (Tac), Siege Dreadnought (Eng), and Defiant "Frigate" Super Carrier (3 Hangars; Sci). All of them incredibly slow, but incredibly tanky.

    T6 Typhoon Battleship - Give it two fixed Double Quantum Torpedo Launchers (one fore and one aft) and a standard 4/4 layout, or 4/3 layout (not including the fixed torpedos). Tac-heavy at the expense of good Sci or Engineering; whichever one is better for HP/Shield recovery.

    T6 Terran Empire Adapted Odyssey, Prometheus, and Galaxy X Mirror Borg tech-enhanced ships. Can still use the same consoles as their non-Borg mutated versions.

    T6 Klingon Republic Adapted Vo'Quv and Mogh of the Mirror KDF side. Same as Terran Empire Adapted ships in that Borg tech has altered their shape but can still use the same consoles as their non-mutated versions.

    T6 Romulan Republic Adapted Destroyer, Cruiser, and Scimitar. The first two just being Rom-exclusive with the ability to use a Singularity, but can use the two consoles of the Lockbox versions (updated to grant the 3-set bonus with a Borg Adapted Singularity or the Warp Core). The Adapted Scimitar having pointy and bladed wings similar to the Destroyer and Cruiser, rather than the ugly horn of the Borg Scimitar.

    T6 Intel Odyssey-derived variant; complete with doughnut saucer - Mainly an excuse to put an oversized, loosely-based Vengance expy into the game the way the Tal Shiar Adapted Cruiser is a loosely based Narada expy. Of course, it's not going to be JJ big, but bigger than a base Odyssey. The Scryer already has the Saucer; all it needs is an Odyssey hull and the Intel design style and we have an instant Section 31 Dreadnought.

    T6 Galaxy-X successor named anything besides "Galaxy", but has a more modern Guardian/Odyssey look, and is everything players wanted in a Galaxy X rebalance, minus the fact that it's not going to happen on a Galaxy chassis. The Guardian is already more or less a Galaxy/Odyssey successor, we just need the Galaxy-X equivalent. Maybe even just call it Guardian-X.

    T6 Enterprise Odyssey - C-Store exclusive that only appears for those who buy the Odyssey pack or have bought all three Odyssey ships individually. Costs 3000 Zen. Superior to T5U Odyssey and incorporates a whopping 12 consoles (4 each) to outfit for any role. Also has the Universal BOff slots upgraded to Universal Cmdr and Universal Lt.Cmdr BOff slot for maximum whining. And to finish off the insults, the other class-specific BOff slots are upgraded to accommodate Intel Tac/Sci/Eng BOffs, and already has the Stats to rival a Fleet equivalent. If there will be a Fleet Version, it will only be available if you own the Enterprise Odyssey (which in turn requires you own all 3 T5 Odysseys). For another bit if your soul, consisting of 3 Fleet Modules, a lot of Fleet Marks, and maybe several weeks to three months' worth of Dil, you can upgrade the Enterprise Odyssey to a Fleet Enterprise Odyssey, which adds two more weapon mounts for a whopping 5/5 Fore/Aft weapon loadout for maximum rage and tears.

    I'm being completely serious; I'd like to see how far some will go for a true Flagship. Can't think up a Rom or KDF equivalent of a guaranteed moneymaker/heartbreaker yet, so for now we'll have to settle with an Enterprise Odyssey.

    Gimme my T6 Excel and preferably a T6 Prommy with the console fixed and upgraded as discussed in recent threads and I'll be happy for the most part, though I'd like to see aT6 KDF science ship I wont hold my breath.

    So long as I get my first two requests you can have a T6 Connie for all I care.

    KDF BoP

    KDF Carrier

    KDF destroyer (Nausicaan)

    KDF flight deck cruiser (Orion)

    KDF sci ship (Gorn)

    ROM science heavy ship



    And I'd still love the KDF to get an escort carrier of some kind, perhaps in a Ferasan skin.
    TOIVA, Toi Vaxx, Toia Vix, Toveg, T'vritha, To Vrax: Bring in the Allegiance class.
    Toi'Va, Ti'vath, Toivia, Ty'Vris, Tia Vex, Toi'Virth: Add Tier 6 KDF Carrier and Raider.
    Tae'Va, T'Vaya, To'Var, Tevra, T'Vira, To'Vrak: Give us Asylums for Romulans.

    Don't make ARC mandatory! Keep it optional only!

    Now that ships aren't strek anymore, I'd like to see more - a lot more, ship costumes and parts.

    But I am guessing they going to recycle Dil Rising NPC ships into lockboxes next.

    Agree with you on the Prommy as it's probably my favourite Fed ship. Though a discount would be nice for those of us with the current C-store version (unlikely I know but a guy can dream right??)

    well i love the fleet tork. not much i would change on it but if i could dream of the ultimate upgrade for it, id say:
    1. one more Sci BOFF slot. and nothing else.

    If I got to actually make a new component for ships i would go for:
    2.Center hull vertical micro torpedo launcher or a vertical missile rack both with a 360 arc.
    making weapons mounts look like this 4/1/4

    now wrap all that up in a large BoP skin with battle cloak and sales would go go through the roff.

    Take the Koro'tinga model, give it a solid neck and a solid back end (remove goofy missing slots) beef up the nacelles a bit and calll it whatever you want, light cruiser, science destroyer, whatever.

    Make right what was initially made wrong. The only thing they got right on this design was the forward saucer section. It was supposed to be an upgraded K'tinga, but they used a D4 model.

    one thing i think (also to those who have interest in) would be expected at this point would be a T6 type/variant intrepid class, but that would just be a given, not any more of these "alien" builds ... lol

    (i hate to do this, i sorry :( lol)

    always has been a cruiser in type, the ship to bare the name Enterprise has been only the work of the most advanced ship of it's type on launch, would guess also if there will be (as some point) and Enterprise F, that it would be (by extrapolation) a cruiser also, and only the latest with the highest specs.

    one could easily argue this battle to no end, who would win in a fight, Picard/Enterprise or Janeway/Voyager? (leaving dis/likes behind)

    also see Star Trek TNG: Contagion ... lol

    Wow really? People are still on like this even though we know everything there is to know pretty much?

    So having on more boff seat than a another ship = half of a ship?

    if anything the Enterprise will get Retrofit to death before mothballing begins for a "mystery-class" Enterprise F, unless of course the heuristic pattern to Star Trek's Enterprise's role as "ship of the line" changes lol
