T6 Kdf BOP
T6 KDF Science vessel New gorn design ?
T6 romulan research vessel
If you could choose 3 ships in game for a T6 version (that aren't blacklisted by Cryptic / CBS) what would they be?
1. Dragaus Gorn Ship - I really like the look of this vessel, and there are currently no Gorn ships at T6. I would love to see an updated version.
2. Excalibur - This was the ship the game was advertised with. It was built in the 2400s. I'd love to see a T5-U or T6 version, with only the "modern" parts available.
3. K'tinga - My favorite ship in game, based on layout, durability and manuevering. I'd love a 2409 version of this at T6.
While I do not have a specific ship id like to be tier 6 there is a ship that I would like changes on and thats the tactical comand fed ship.
Specifically the boff layout I know it would probably make the ship op but I feel like they dropped the ball on the tac boff layout for the tac command ship, like only LT comander or lower for your tac boffs? a comander slot for your engineer boffs? feels more like a engineer cruiser than a tactical ship, Ik its not a bad ship as it stands now I just wish there were decent cruisers with a full tactical layout for boffs I wouldnt of minded them swapping places so the tac get a comander slow and the engineer boff slot gets a LT cmdr because that would make more sense with it being a a tactical ship.
sorry Im trying to explain it but i dont think im making much sense as i type this out lol
If they ever released the keldon in a box i would uninstall and walk away cause that would mean we would not be getting a cardassian faction at any point in time.
as it is now its a stretch but aslong as the keldon isnt in a box still a slim possibility but if it gets put in a box so much for cardassians.
You probably got right about that, and I also want playable Cardassian race very much, but just in case it won't happen I would like having Keldon as playable ship.
My other choice for lockbox ship would be Dominion battlecruiser. While not as big as Dominion battleships (Dreadnough carrier in the game), she is an awesome looking and powerful vessel as seen in DS9. Still don't know why she's being kept out of a game for so long. Perhaps for the same reason as Keldon is (Dominion playable faction).

T6 Advanced Escort
1. T6 Reconnaissance Science Vessel: This may be very unlikely, since it isn't (really) canon, and the tactical/science-combo role has already been fulfilled quite well by the Dauntless. I just really like the typical, flat saucer section, the placement of the hull, nacelles and pylons, the typical federation design in general:P. Really want to see what T6-magic could do with my favourite Sci-vessel, with an emphasis on the deflector dish(es).
2. T6 Defiant: Canon, awesome design, unique. It is one of the most recognized escorts, and it could be really cool when combined with Pilot-specialization-seating for the BOffs. Again, would love to see T6-magic giving it the 2410-style update.
3. T6 Mogai Heavy Warbird: Canon, awesome design, has a cool history, and I really just want to see how this cool design can be improved further. Maybe some heavy bird-like details, lots and lots of detail, like more feather-patterned plating on top, a real beak-like front, that kind of stuff. Oh, and green, lots of green.
Can't wait to see what the future of STO has to bring
Bah, T6 is old news, even T6 Fleet is yesterdays news. Where is my T7 Long Range Science Vessel? :P
Pathfinder Long Range Science Vessel Refit? Hmm, but refits are half stages better, did Fleet versions replace the refits so it would be Pathfinder Long Range Science Vessel Retrofit? Then the inevitable Fleet Pathfinder Long Range Science Vessel Retrofit Upgrade version! FPLRSVRU, hmm, doesn't really roll off the tongue.
1. T6 Scimitar Intel Dreadnought - can combine any of the consoles from the 3-Pack with some new active ability console, still has a flight deck, can use T5 variant skins
This is a bit late, but here's a few ships I'd love to see added for T6.
T6 Advanced (science) Escort
This ship was one of my favorites growing up, but giving it T6 treatment might be a little tricky.
Due to the ship having redundant systems because of its Multi-Vector Assault Mode, it has a deflector in each section and more science focus for an escort (LtCom Science station). I could really see it getting the tactical-science mode switching functionality the Science Destroyers have, but I could also really see it getting a mixed Pilot-Command specialization seating due to being one of the most advanced escort ships Starfleet produced, along with its MVAM likely necessitating or facilitating extra systems for coordinating between sections during MVAM or with allies.
For the tactical-science mode switching functionality, if it did have that, I figure the secondary deflector is locked out when using MVAM, as it would require use of a deflector in a section of the ship that's currently separated. Instead, it might gain a 'triangulated sensors" bonus. It may also lose access to a weapon slot in science mode, which means it might get an additional piece of gear locked to that slot.
One of the things I really miss from the previous tiers of ships were the universal pieces of gear that could be used on any ship, that came along with any unique gear that can only be used on the ship it comes with. For example, the wide-angle torpedo launcher that came on the Regent Assault Cruiser Refit along with its Metreon Gas Canisters console. I'd love to see this T6 Advanced Escort come with a different take on cluster torpedo launchers, which I was hoping for when the first "cluster" weapon was added to the game; a torpedo launcher which functions like the Shrapnel Torpedo Launcher, but is actually a torpedo type weapon and not a console, which can use torpedo modifying abilities. Effectively, a torpedo launcher with a built-in mini torpedo spread with variable damage. Would Transphasic be a good type for it? It could be useful against Borg and other factions with tough shields. If that functionality is too different to still be called a "cluster torpedo", it could alternatively be called a cluster missile, spread or swarm torpedo launcher.
T6 Flagships
Considering what went into both the production and lore for the Odyssey, Bortasqu' and Scimitar, I really would like to see them all get the T6 treatment. With the place these ships have in their respective factions, I could see them getting at least a hybrid specialization seating of command and intel, if not also a slight (ensign level) pilot seat as well. With the Iconian War going on, I could also see a lore reason for a new version, as each of the main ships of these classes may end up seriously damaged and getting refits.
Another direction that could be taken with specialization seating is pure command, with a hangar bay. The ships are certainly large enough for it, and the Scimitar already has a hangar itself.
T6 Heavy Escort Carrier
This was one of the ships I was a bit surprised by, and actually found myself really liking flying. With it being an escort carrier hybrid, a hybrid specialization of pilot-command might suit it. I could also see it coming with a new design of Starfleet fighter craft, but that would mean extra work designing a small craft. I'd LOVE to see that, but management might not feel that's worth the expenditure. I'd still absolutely LOVE if a new Starfleet fighter craft was made, which could be used in a hangar, or straight up flown.
On a side note, I could see a new fighter craft getting access to pilot specialization.
Another thing I could see, or would love to see, is a T6 hybrid carrier for other factions, such as the Romulan Republic's Warbird Carrier, or a completely new carrier raptor or straight up carrier for the Klingon Empire.
T6 Avenger & Mogh Battle Cruisers
These were some other ships that I found I really liked flying. Considering their battle cruiser functionality, a full or hybrid command setup could work for them. As a special feature, perhaps the VATA of the Avenger and DDDS of the Mogh could use some torpedo modifying abilities as a set bonus, such as spread and high yield. Dunno about that, though.
T6 Vesta Multi-Mission Explorer
The Vesta was another cool ship in my opinion. I'd love to see this thing get the T6 treatment. However, I'm not sure what its T6 setup would be. Considering the T5 version has mixed science-escort-carrier functionality, perhaps a hybrid specialization setup of command, pilot or intel.
This is just a wild idea that came to me a couple of minutes ago, so it may not be that well thought out, but if the devs are going to keep releasing 9-packs anyway, why not do something interesting with them lore/looks-wise?
The idea is basically joint-designed or non-standard species ships. Like the Normandy as a Human/Turian ship in Mass Effect, why not have different species within our three factions work together to bring something new to the table.
This is where the idea started. Ever since I've been playing STO the KDF has always had Nausican, Orion, and Gorn ships as alternate vessels that you can buy from tier 3 up, and these three species were subjugated/annexed/bribed into joining before the game started. It would make sense for the Klingons to want to take advantage of their ships' strengths, while still keeping the new designs distinctly "Klingon". Hence, here we have hybrid designs.
Reman escort warbird (pilot?)
Romulan/Reman warbird cruiser (command?)
Romulan science warbird (intel?) ("borrowed" from Tal Shiar?)
The Romulans are trickier, so I came up with two options. The first is based on the fact that, because of how Legacy of Romulus handles faction allegiance, low level Romulan captains have access to Starfleet and KDF ships (I have never seen anyone choose an allied ship over a warbird, but the option is still there). Naturally, this would mean that the Republic can access and study (albeit older) Federation and Klingon tech. Add to this the fact that the Republic more than likely cooperated with them on building the DSDs and we have a case for technological exchange going both ways between the Republic and its allies. These ships would be the fruits of that exchange. As for the Reman ship, well, we could use a good non-Scimitar Reman vessel in-game, maybe one designed by Obisek's rebels and built at the Vault.
The second option forgoes the whole Fed/KDF "contamination" that some might raise a fuss about, and uses purely means the Republic would have access too. Those being their own facilities, Obisek and friends, and anything that "accidentally" was left behind a potted plant on Drozana from the Tal Shiar or RSE by people who are in no way, shape, or form Republic operatives. Nope, nobody here but us loyal Imperialists/Iconian minions .

Also OP, nice av. Loved the show Chuck.
Let us upgrade the Seleya Ceremonial Lirpa and Kri'stak Blade
No. Just like the Guardian Cruiser wasn't the Tier 6 Galaxy.
Not that I dislike the Phantom. It's a fine ship.
Yes, please.
Excalibur also sounds sweet. The concept art on the box was sweet.
It is in the same way the Guardian is the T6 Galaxy

If the do what they did to the JHSS to the Wells...(Add 3 boff seat mainly in the universal) Id be all for this ship.

However since that won't happen because... (Licensing something neither I nor anyone else is qualified to speak to on these forums...)
I would love a T6 Akira with a kind of reverse homage, NX inspired skin. (Inspired not duplicate.)
1. T6 Scimitar Intel Dreadnought - can combine any of the consoles from the 3-Pack with some new active ability console, still has a flight deck, can use T5 variant skins
- concept art: Photo 1 Photo 2
2. T6 Romulan Intel Science Ship - flight deck, battle cloak, and singularity abilities
3. T6 Vesta Intel - can use T5 variant skins & consoles, with flight deck
- ok, so asking for more Fed Sci ships is over the top considering the state of affairs, but because Vesta.
Due to the ship having redundant systems because of its Multi-Vector Assault Mode, it has a deflector in each section and more science focus for an escort (LtCom Science station).

Fed
Andorian escort (pilot?)
Tellarite cruiser (command?)
Vulcan science vessel (intel?)
Feds are easy, just take the other three founding Federation races and give them each a ship according to their strengths.
KDF
Nausican/Klingon BoP (pilot?)
Orion/Klingon flight-deck cruiser (command?)
Gorn/Klingon Sci-Raptor (intel?)
This is where the idea started. Ever since I've been playing STO the KDF has always had Nausican, Orion, and Gorn ships as alternate vessels that you can buy from tier 3 up, and these three species were subjugated/annexed/bribed into joining before the game started. It would make sense for the Klingons to want to take advantage of their ships' strengths, while still keeping the new designs distinctly "Klingon". Hence, here we have hybrid designs.
Rom
KDF/Rom escort warbird (pilot?)
Reman/Rom warbird cruiser (command?)
Fed/Rom science warbird (intel?)
OR!
Reman escort warbird (pilot?)
Romulan/Reman warbird cruiser (command?)
Romulan science warbird (intel?) ("borrowed" from Tal Shiar?)
