That's going to be the real challenge for them, making it comparable to the Phantom. I agree that they won't make it an Intel ship since the Phantom has that market cornered already. Intel though, is honestly what makes the most sense.
They would probably make it so much easier if they just released the Defiant Skin as a bonus for the Fleet Version of the Phantom. That would solve a lot of problems and would probably drastically increase sales on the Phantom as well as Fleet Modules.
I don't think they will tbh.
They could have done it with the Guardian and galaxy the same way, but they didn't.
They could probably make the Defiant a Pilot or maybe a Command Escort (since she was leading the charge in many DS9 battles.). But i'm sure the devs know exactly that it wouldn't help that ship to get more Firepower so they won't do that.
I bet for a Pilot/Tac hybrid ship, similar like the Phantom, but instead intel she will get Pilot hybrid seats and a rediculus turnrate.

almost half the T6 ships are Defiant-like ships -_-
I'd like more something like the Akira: THAT is a FED ship.
A wonderful Escort-Cruiser with a lot of weapons and shields.
People want a tier 6 version that can equip the original Defiant costume, you know so they can fly the ships as seen in the series, don't know why the Defiant is ugly as heck, why in the Iconian empire would anyone want to fly that? Oh wait, it blew stuff up in DS9 yep that's why.

Yep that's it.
If the Malon Battlecruiser had super firepower, those players wouldn't hesitate to fly that ship.
(or a steamy TRIBBLE, if it had even more firepower. lol.)

Some of us would.

Does the Defiant smell that bad you can tell when it's coming? :P
Haha, really I have no issues with that nasty little bugger, I considered buying the T5 once, before Delta Rising hit the fan making up my mind for me...
If aT6 becomes available, I may reconsider my descision to hold off.
Maybe they'll put the (hypothetical) T6 in a bundle with the other two and I can get all of them at once for a discount?
I'd buy that, assuming I had the zen... Lol
Worth noting, I'd much rather spend my Zen on a T6 Prometheus or Akira... those ships are downright HOT!

We already have a T6 Defiant. It's called the Phantom, also colloquially known as the Super Defiant. You can even directly transplant your cloaking Alpha Strike build, and everything else.
Pretty much this. I wish we could have used defiant skins with it...
Don't you as well Already made the iconic Voyager and the iconic Galaxy T6.
I don't smell that at all. :P
Seriously, judging by the shape-options of the Pilot ships, I think the Tact variant is already meant to be T6 Defiant of sorts. I'd be surprised if we got another one.

Pretty much not this. If it can't use the defiant skin it isn't a Defiant. Bring on the T6 Defiant
The first Belfast was commanded by Captain Ve'Kal Shon until its destruction in 2409. A new ship was commissioned bearing the same name and registry as special dispensation to then newly promoted Captain Edward XIII for his pivotal role during the renewed Dominion War.
