Yes. They only thing that will get me out of my T5U Tac Oddy is a T6 Tac Oddy.
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.

I did make a mistake on the Delta Rising Pack btw. I felt duped over it.
Delta pack is pretty good value for anyone who's playing all factions. I didn't regret it for a minute.
Bortasq on the other hand........, gimme back muh moneiz...!!!
Not only would I not pay more, I wouldn't pay the current value for any of these ships.
Odyssey - Pointless.. this niche is already filled by a thousand other cruisers. Just let people use the skin on one of the existing ships and call it a day. Outside of the skin, a T6 Odyssey has nothing to bring to the table.
Bortesque - Why bother? All the KDF players seem to hate it. I seriously can't remember the last time I saw a player in a Bort within the last year. It would only sell if it was thrown into the '3 pack' for free.
Scimitar - This would be the only one that would actually sell. I however, doubt they can manage to keep it's power level within reason. It wouldn't be hard to make it a 'non game breaking ship,' but that doesn't mean they won't TRIBBLE it up just to keep things consistent.
I always thought the Ha'apax made a better 'flagship' then the Scimitar. Always stuck me as odd that the New Romulan Republic took the design of Shinzon who was essentially a separatist and a terrorist and used his design as their 'flagship.' The Ha'apax always looked more.. Romulan to me.
The T6 Scimitar would only really be over the line if it had a super powerful trait. If they gave it a defensive trait to balance out the heavy damage layout, it wouldn't be bad at all. Honestly, the Scimitar as it stands right now isn't even that powerful anymore. My Romulan switched to the Nandi, the Scimitar is nothing special anymore.
I do agree though with the rest though. I would personally love to see a T6 Ha'apax as the flagship.
Ok just to put Scimitar into context. Its "job" was to sell the LOR expansion. So they made it into OP. (I bought the pack too, for only 1 romulan captain.)
A T6 (or T7) Scimitar will be nerfed back into line just like the JHAS was.
On the Bortasq: On my KDF main I use it (the command.. "science" version of it) as a main ship since its release and, even more since T5U, its an awesome mix of toughness & damage potential.
No, no, and Hhhhhhhayellllllllllz NO!!! With all this talk about T7's these days you'd think it was happening next month. And if you think I'm grinding all eternity, paying $40-$45 per ship, or getting bamboozled by the T6FU upgrades, IF T7's hit, you can forget it! Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice and you can just call me a fool.
Id pay 10k zen just for a t5u fleet Constitution, or ship designed like it but bigger
I think a LOT of people would pay that to have a t5u connie. I would, I would hopt it could use all the parts from all the connie variations. But even locked to the TOS connie. I would still buy it and fly it all just about EVERY Alt who can fly it.
No. I already got burned with the T5u thing. I got the T4 vesion of the D'deridex for the console, the T5 version for the Fleet discount, ground fleet credits and got the fleet module for the T5 Fleet version, and then got the T5U fleet version. That's what? Almost 5k Zen? Then finding out that the next upgrade 'step' would cost another 3k? No, that's a bridge too far, even for my favorite ship in all of Trek.
For the Flagships? Well, two of them aren't even canon-so their appeal is rather limited to me to begin with. The third (scimitar) is from one of my least favorite Trek movies, and I think it's ugly as sin to boot. I wouldn't pay an extra 3500 (3000+500 for fleet upgrade) zen for any of them.
There is only one ship I would pay over the odds for. And it's not any of the 'Flagship' classes.
Typhoon?

Nope, I don't like the flagships. Only the Scimitar is canon, and it's the very symbol of whats wrong with this game and its biased devs.
Plus, it's a Reman design and all my republic chars are Romulans.
Oh, and I already bought the pack that contains the true flagships. D'Deridex, Galaxy and Negh'var. Too bad even the D'D and Negh have the crappy 4/4 weapon layout which is totally obsolete. (Because of power creep ships like the Scim)

Actually the Odyssey is Canon. CBS who owns Star trek paired with Cryptic in a Design the next enterprise. So it is officially Canon.
With the T6 ships it is only a matter of time before they come out with a redesign of the Flagships. The Odyssey, Scimitar, and Bortas. Having bought all three. And Upgraded all 9 ships to T-5U. I have spent well over 190 dollars. So the Question I ask is if they do come out with FULL Tier 6 ship versions. with three existing variations for each one. It would be a 9 ship Mega bundle easy. 120 easy if they put it into the C-store. Frankly I don't want to do that and won't.
What I would like to see is a FULL Fleet Version of the Flagships. A T6 fleet version. With a level 5 star ship mastery power.
That way I could spend only a single Fleet module to get the ship.
I would expect for example the Odyssey to have added the powers of a Command Cruiser abilities. A Hanger Slot (or the ability to launch BOTH the Chevron and Aquarius at the same time). And a Console layout of 5, 4, 4.
The Scimitar, I would like to see it get an Extra Aft weapon Slot, a secondary Hanger bay. with the possible console layout of 4,5,4.
The Bortas, I am not sure. I would like to see a higher turn rate, maybe with the addition of a Hanger Bay, and Console Layout of 4,4,5,
What do you all think? I know I won't shell out 120 for improved versions of ships I already own. I know they have to make money to keep the game running. But show us SOME love in the pocket book.
I could careless for those ships mentioned...except Scimitar. Boxed ships are so much better than Zen ones...in looks and built.

Yes. T6 Ody would be hella awesome! It would need to have the Aquarius bridge, though.

I love that bridge.
