T6 Mvae

Hi,
At some point can you (Cryptic) add a T6 MVAE to the line-up of new ships, I love my existing MVAE but some more teeth on a T6 variant would be a nice move.
And have the non-commanded assault vectors actually commanded - by us, so we can select targets like fighters on any carrier rather than it wandering off automatically.
Thanks!

All-in-all, though, the difference between T5-U and T6 isn't deal breaking, in my opinion. Scaling hull, extra console, 4 tiers of extra passive buffs is cool (assuming cost to upgrade to T5-U is reasonable). Really just missing out on an extra gimmick (5th mastery) and an extra BOff slot, which is the only real kicker.
I don't think so. It's what happened when they launched fleet ships...which were better versions of existing ships. I am willing to bet that the next batch of T6 ships will be classic ships or previously existing ships.
In the live stream yesterday someone asked about a T6 Intrepid and they answered it in a way that made me think we'll see one and more.
Let us explore it... together. Each man hides a secret pain. It must be exposed and reckoned with. It must be dragged from the darkness and forced into the light. Share your pain. Share your pain with me... and gain strength from the sharing.
I'm not asking for a T6 version of an existing ship, I'm asking for an all new T6 ship with MVA capabilities.
You not seeing that happen, what about a refit or retrofit ?? we got multi tier's defiands, excelsiors so why not multi tier's tier 5 and tier 6 refits ?
The make more money and its a copy / past and then add +1 LC boff/int..
I don't think comparing a new tier to Fleet ships is a valid comparison. After all, the new T6 Intelligence ships are going to have Fleet versions.
Maybe if there's enough backlash at not having the primary series ships (Enterprise-D/Defiant/Voyager) at highest tier, they might consider those. But how would that work? Would it be an (second) upgrade from T5-U? A brand new C-Store purchase? All this for an extra BOff seat and a gimmick ability. It's almost assured that the main canon ships are only going to be T5-U and not T6, so it would have to be something added in the future.
Now, if they wanted to revisit the concept of a multi-variable ship, well, maybe. But probably not a multi-variable advanced escort, as that is a particular type of ship engendered in the Prometheus and its type. They did so with the Haakona in pretty much a cruiser class, though I feel that only 2 of its modes felt at all useful (its combined mode was slower than slow), though the split parts were at least both maneuverable and could take some damage.
It's not like I wouldn't mind being proven wrong. I just wouldn't hold my breath. I'm personally fine with flying some of my favourite ships at T5-U, though, instead of T6.
Like I said they hinted at it in the live stream

You assumed correctly, sir.
Then great. But at that point, I do have a lot of questions as to how they'll charge for it, and if they would make it in time for the DR pack. As someone who supports this game and has already purchased the DR pack, if the main hero ships aren't included and the 3 upgrade tokens can't be used to make them T6 (or T6 versions aren't announced before DR goes live, and everyone uses the included tokens on other ships), I'd feel let down.
It also brings into question what the worth of T5-U is at all, if some ships can upgrade all the way to T6 and yet others can only get T5-U for no reason other than "these are the ships from the show." I think it would be a bad decision, as currently, all the end game ships, hero or not, are at the same tier. If I can get a T6 Galaxy, Defiant, or Intrepid, why can't I get a Vesta or Sovereign or MVAE? If I can get a Vesta or Sovy, why can't I get a Patrol Escort? And so on. Investment is investment, whether the ship ever appeared in an episode or not.
So unless the plan is to free upgrade every ship that gets T5-U to T6 down the line, making T6 versions of just some T5 ships sounds like a terrible idea. If the plan is to make every ship eventually T6, then why not just let us know, and then work on them in batches? It's problematic.
As for the OP, I was confused by your usage of the term MVAE, where AE stands for Advanced Escort, which is a specific subset of ship. I did, however, use the wrong term previously, as MV stands for Multi-Vector, not Variable. In any case, the MV concept is fun, and I'd love to see it make its way to another (new) ship design. In the MVAE, though, it's a bit underpowered, due to splitting in 3. The Haakona is better off with splitting into 2 tougher ships, though the penalty is that the combined mode is a cow on rollerblades. I've never understood how the Scimitar is so much more agile than the Haakona.
Having hanger-pet-like control of the ships would require a redesign of how they do this (and saucer/chevron) ship splitting in the game engine and may actually take considerable work. It would be fantastic, though.
I do think that will happen.
After people have spent time, money, resources upgrading their T5u ships and leveled them
Re-visiting this!
Could I get a reply from someone in the know as to if this is even on the cards?
Bear with me, I'm thinking:
Trident class (Trident as in 3, i.e. split into 3 vectors) - The trident is the weapon of Poseidon, or Neptune.
All new design (I like the look of the Intel ships, so would love a similar themed T6 MVAE ship.)
Following stats:
Consoles layout:
Bonus power:
When in MVAM mode, the other vectors can be told how to behave - i.e.
Second deflector slot too if possible!
