I'd be amazed if any T5 lock box ship got the treatment though.
KDF: Vor'Cha, K'Tinga, B'Rel
ROM: They got all canon ships at T6

Never happening. Geko himself stated that IF we see another faction it won't be the cardassians.
If we see the Keldon, i'd imagine it will be a R&D Promotion, or a a whole new lockbox addition.
Personally, I'm still holding out that the Typhoon and Jupiter will be re-done and make an apperence as a t6 dreadnaut and carrier respectively.
Also probably not gonna happen, but it's not been explicitly stated so yet!
Personally I don't think separate Cardassian faction is ever going to happen... There is simply not enough cardassian content in TV shows / movies to make separate story arc. Even Borg is far more developed... and (I bet) is not going to be playable facton as well. I afraid all we may expect will be more cardassian ships in lockboxes/lobi store.
I think there is more Cardassian story than there was Romulan. Doesn't change the fact that there won't be a new faction, though. Half-arsed cross-faction character, maybe.

I think it's pretty clear by now that just isn't going to happen.
On topic: Only one I want is T6 Prometheus.
Also, this. No more subfactions or half factions or fractions, whatever the hell you want to call them. Legacy of Romulus was a good expansion but it was never capitalised and we got DR instead.
EDIT To actually post on topic, I want to see a T6 Sovereign, Defiant, B'Rel, Luna and Vesta, and Hegh'ta or other Bird-of-Prey-that-isn't-the-B'rel.
More story then Romulan?
Romulan are present in TOS, TNG, DS9, VOY, ENT, they have 2 dedicated movies (ST: Nemesis and reseted Star Trek from J.J. Abrams).
Cardassian are not present in TOS, they appear in later seasons in TNG (and have less episodes then Romulans), are present in DS9 and VOY. No Cardassian-related movie. No appearance in ENT.
As I said, even Borg is better developed. Cardassian developmnet is at Ferengi level.
I love my Armitage. Please, Cryptic, give me an awesomer one.
Whilst this pleases me (because I do not trust Cryptic in creating any new faction, let alone Cardassian), where is your source? Where, specifically, did Geko say this?
I think part of the problem is that the Keldon is too similar to the Galor, at least it was. I suppose now they could release one with an Intel/Commander seat, though it needs to be released with a Cardassian story arc revamp (that'll also need Andrew Robinson for voicework, and will need playable Cardassians for the FED/KDF).
I would actually argue that we know more about Cardassian society than we do Romulan (and Reman) yet we have the Romulan (and Reman) in. If it's down to background, the Cardassians are ready.
Edit: angrytarg beat me to the last point, but yeah, there's definitely more lore with the Cardassians than there is with the Romulans.
Actually, there's an entire trilogy of novels with huge amounts of info on Romulan/Reman culture that STO's adopted. The Rihannsu trilogy, if you're interested. And, correct me if I'm wrong, but the Cardassians have nothing remotely similar.
God dammit, Cryptic read my mind before I even wanted a thing! Sly.
Just because the Romulans have shown up all over the place, it doesn't mean they're more defined. They're not. The Cardassians are. We've seen (and spent) more time on their homeworld (in shows), we've met more of them, we've fought with, and against them, we know about their history, their art, the culture, their food, their justice system, there's a **** load more we know by comparison to the Romulans.
Cryptic might have adopted from novels, but then novels aren't (or weren't) considered canon. I'm sure there are enough books out there that better cover more Cardassian culture if you want to go down that road, it's just that Cryptic haven't needed to do that yet.
Another Nebula enthusiast
I mentioned all canon ships that are not T6 yet, except the Constitution, Constellation, Excelsior and Oberth. My personal opinion is that all ships prior to TNG shouldn't get a T6 variant just to get the T6 line-up less cluttered. I have no problem seeing the models, mind you, canon always beats Cryptic originals, but what position would a Oberth, Miranda or Excelsior fill at T6 that's not already taken? T5 is a huge mess with dozens of semi-obsolete classes already, T6 could be a possibility to calm the waves a bit.

It was in one of the Priority One Podcast's , i think it was the most recent interview he gave, (Here : http://priorityonepodcast.com/po219/)
I don't have the time to listen to it all the way through right now, but i'm pretty sure it's in there somewhere.
It may have been an older interview though, as he does come on quite frequently
I agree wholeheartedly. I have often though thought of creating my own version of the Command ships with the Excelsior parts. I would like the pylons be in the traditional place for the "T6 Excelsior."
They appeared in THREE series. Try to remember that number.
A token appearance in Voyager doesn't really count, if you ask me.
Yes, with LtCdr command seat
Both pretty good novels and that get into a lot of detail about the Cardassian culture. AFAIK, there is more than that, but I haven't read it.
Seska was a mad *****, but she was still a Cardassian in a series, so that shouldn't really be overlooked. There was also the Galor that featured in the pilot episode too.
The cardassians were introduced in TNG to set up DS9, and this lead to the Maquis were introduced to set up Voyager - a conflict that involved the cardassians. That's three shows where cardassians featured even on a minor level. I am willing to bet if we tally up the numbers the cardassians would have more appearances in the entire franchise.
EDIT Yep, sure enough, if you count every 'appearance' the roms have 59 across the entire franchise, and cardassians have over 70 in DS9 alone.
Come to think of it, I dont think I've seen ONE Oberth class in game in all the time I've played STO.
That's exactly why I bought them. They looked to have so much Excelsior heritage in them.
Personally I'd love to see T6 versions of:
Nova class
B'Rel class
Nebula Class
And I still have a soft spot for the Bortasqu - That's still a fine looking ship in my eyes. You can kitbash one of the KDF command cruisers into a squashed approximation of the old girl .... but it never will be
Well, the Armitage-class does function as a central command centre for fighter squadrons, it's almost mandatory. Although if I'm being honest, I'd put in a CMDR-level command seat, 'cause I don't wanna put my XO in anything less than that
