Looks like they are slowing releasing T6 "upgrades" of the T5 ships. Anyone want to guess as to when the Scim will get the upgrade to T6?

Uh, based on what, exactly?
The wise sages of the Site That Shall Not Be Named say the exact opposite, in fact... a logjam, four-deep.
I hope, for the sake of the game, that never.
1-3 days after you get fed up of waiting and spend cash/zen on something else
The Pathfinder (the first T6 upgrade of the T5 ships in the C-store) released November 20th, 2014.
The Iconic Cruisers came out April 2nd, 2015
The Veteran (T6) ships were announced June 11th 2015, same day that the patch with them came out.
The last ships we had launched, the T6 battlecruisers were launched June 25th 2015 (nearly 2 weeks ago).
This is a slow release. Just because there's unofficial details on future ships known, doesn't mean they're coming up right away.
It took about a month for the B'Rel leak to come out after I bought mine. I was just trying to help get some new ships for the KDF so I was expecting that to happen. I was disappointed how long Cryptic took to obsolete my purchase though I suspect they were on to my plans.
Those ships are already Fleet Level to begin with.
l don't know.
l really don't know what l'm about to say, except l have a feeling about it.
That l must repeat the words that come without my knowledge.'
My guess would have been that the Flagships would have been the first to get the upgrade.
Now I have no idea. Maybe never. Maybe tomorrow.
Personally, for the Scimitard, all they should do for Tier 6ifiication is change a Lt. on the ship to a Command Hybrid and claim they are done. No extra BOFF slot, so far the game seems to have proven superior to all the alternatives.
(And it's still ridicilous that the D'Deridex has a lower turn rate than the Scimitar!)
Yeah, if you want to go back to the launch of the Pathfinder... you're forgetting the 3 Lock Boxes (2 ships each), the Delta Pack, the Pilot ships, the Command BCs, the Sheshar, the JHSS, the Nandi, and the Samsar. While those aren't all T6 rehashes of T5 vessels, they are all T6 and they DO affect the release schedule of ships. Cryptic normally likes to let new additions have their "moment in the spotlight" before releasing the next big shiny.
It's laughable to suggest that Cryptic is on a "slow" release schedule for ships. That's all they do, LOL.
Vegeta's not counting all of them, he's counting the OLD ships, the T5s that get a new T6 look.
To be honest i kinda wish this would be done more adding a second ship to releases for the kdf and roms as they have much less choice in thier selection of ships (in ways i do not count that roms have access to fed an kdf ships as still the faction specific ships are quite less in comparison.). Even in a escort release I would love to see a multi release bundle of a normal, advanced, and a patrol escort varient each focused on a difference captain carear.
I agree next is most likely the time-ships and the time-dreadnaught/crusier you see at the end of the "time in a bottle" episode that the Krenim want our help in building. This is I think when the time-ships will be redone an a time-war like arc might take place an so have a time-war box come up in.

There are four former T5 ships in the "T6 pipeline"... be patient.
There is at least an T6 Excelsior in the works, a faction pack of iconic T6 Defiant/T'Varo/BOP and also a faction pack T6 Akira/Ar'Kif/Qa'tel Flight Deck Raptor.
Those are just the known ships that are coming...
I've heard seven. The Defiant/T'varo/B'rel pack, an escort-carrier pack with the Armitage and Ar'kif (plus a new KDF Raptor), Prometheus, and Excelsior.
Yes, Excelsior. The museum piece gets an upgrade before the Flagships do.
They make the Ar'kif a true carrier i will definitely go back to that but otherwise the Scimitar does not need to be made into a T6 version.
I was only counting the FED side.
Ha'paax has the multi-vector thing, like the Prometheus... so, not that odd.
Actually have seen a few flying around.
It's possible we will get a T6 flagship pack after the Escort pack, Escort Carriers pack, Multi Vector pack, Excelsior (maybe with a K'T'inga), and the T6 lockbox stuff.
Edit: We still have a bunch of ships on the fed side that don't even have the nice Type 6 hull, never-mind the Type 7. (Nebula, Ambassador, Olympic, Cheyenne, Nova, Luna, Nimbus, and Nomad)
Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though.
JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

yes, me too. but cryptic won't let a way of earning a lot of money, be wasted
I don't know... The amount of overall players in the Romulan Republic is still very low compared to the Federation and also the KDF. So it might still not be a big money-maker.
A lockbox Tier 6 Scimitar would probably fare better for their finances, but that can't really happen anymore.
But what is it that makes scimitars so OP? CMDR Tac and 5 tac console ships are plenty, some can even slot more embassy cosnoles for the plasma explosion and FAWing is also a no brainer. The only thing unique to scimitars is the hangar pet - is the drone ship so OP?
