With the release of the command specialization and the new command ships, I was woundering if there was any plans of making Tier 6 Command variants of each Factons Flagships (the Odyssey, Bortasqu and Scimitar) much like what was done for the Intrepid intelligence ship?

I suspect once a third main specialization hits the servers (something operations-heavy since intel has a tac/sci slant and command a tac/eng flavour probably some sci/eng operations stuff) we will get new three packs of T6 flagships with intel/command/ops specializations and/or universal specialization slots (maye a high level fixed spec with a lt or ltc universal spec).

Having a Lieutenant Engineering-Intelligence seat doesn't make the Pathfinder an Intel ship.
I am from Belgium and english isn't my main language, sorry if I make mistakes.
Yeah, I was gonna say, the Pathfinder isn't actually an Intel ship, since it doesn't have the Gather Intel mechanic or a Commander rank hybrid BOff seat.
As someone who has a Romulan flying a Scimitar.. I still totally oppose the idea of a T6 Scimitar.
Seriously, the Scimitar is still probably the most powerful ship in the game. If you buffed it to T6 it would just be way too powerful. Especially if it were an Intel ship.

I was more thinking of a different ship variants to get more customization options for that analogy, but maybe if they do this they would be pure Command Tier 6 with a new console that would give a bonus ability when added with the other Flagships consoles so all variants would still get some use.

Which is why it should have a Lieutenant Engineering/Specialization seat instead of a Lieutenant Engineering/Intel seat. In fact, every non-Intel and non-Command Tier 6 ship should have a Lieutenant Specialization seat instead of a Lieutenant Intel or Command seat. It never made any sense to me that the Guardian Cruiser has an Intel seat when a Command seat would be far more appropriate.

They could come as Fleet T6 ships, or could drop as new C-Store offerings.
I personally think Fleet T6 makes more sense... but, that is just speculation.

Fleet system is too much of a resource hog.
