What Non-Klingon KDF ship should get the Tier 6 treatment next?
I am intentionally omitting the Nausicaan Siege Destroyer, since rumour has that it will come with the Galaxy-X and the Ha'apax.
Of course, in an ideal world, they all should eventually get a Tier 6 version. In a more realistic vision of the future, most won't make it, I fear. But either way, they would come out slowly and so one has to be the first - and which one should that be?
An idea occured to me that instead of creating actually Tier 6 Retrofits for all these ships, Cryptic could make a single Nausicaan, a single Orion and a single Gorn Tier 6 ship and each simply give the option to choose between all existing skins for those ships. Add maybe a few material choices and at least some minor custom piece variations, and we would at least have something. But maybe that would be an defeatist attitude, assuming that not everything will see a Tier 6 version?

Still waiting to be able to use forum titles
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.

But if this was pure Science I'd have to go with the Varanus...I just like that design more than the other Gorn ships.
The Kar'Fi in particular would be odd to see an new version of, it is a captured ship, basically a lockbox ship before there were lockboxes. Are there even any Fek'Ihri left to build new ships?
no problem, we have the ferengis. if they can retrieve and modify Undine ships or Voth ships, they can do the same thing for the Kar'fi

But if not - my idea with just allowing to switch between the available species models might still work - the parts wouldn't need to be compatible with each other. If I remember correctly, the K'Tinga has a set up like that already.
They might in turn be able to be a bit more creative with materials, and maybe some new patterns specific to the ships?
Your comparison with lockbox ship is pretty apt, I think - if the Fek'Ihri arc had happened any later in the game's life, it might have ended up in a lockbox (at best an event ship perhaps?). It would be a bit odd, but the Fek'Ihri might still be around, and maybe Cryptic could throw in a new Fek'Ihri arc (this time for all factions probably) to introduce the new ship...
I'd be down for the Giant Space Hamster, a.k.a. Marauder FDC to get the T6 treatment. Her console alignment at T5U (there is no T5 Fleet Marauder FDC) leans towards a Science-oriented Cruiser. But the T6 treatment could make her quite nice.

For the Orions I wouldn't mind a new ship, not quite a fan of current ships of theirs. And let's hope the Gurumba is nice at Tier 6.
Toi'Va, Ti'vath, Toivia, Ty'Vris, Tia Vex, Toi'Virth: Add Tier 6 KDF Carrier and Raider.
Tae'Va, T'Vaya, To'Var, Tevra, T'Vira, To'Vrak: Give us Asylums for Romulans.
Don't make ARC mandatory! Keep it optional only!
and @potassium, seriously... what did Khan do to Trixie?

Overall... pretty much "a decent Science Ship" is my answer for both the KDF and Roms. It's a whole Profession that is completely unrepresented at T6 for both factions, and while I'd be even happier if they finally get around to finishing the KDF and Rom Intel line (which does seem to be missing an Intel Science Ship for both factions, btw) it'd be nice just to see a T6 Science Ship for each (one that isn't directly inferior to its Fed counterpart).
-T6 Garumba and Fleet upgrade

Though really, any non-Klingon KDF ship would be good now. I'm starting to think that Cryptic has forgotten the Klingon Empire has ships besides the Klingon ones.
