Orion Warbarge! Bring out some of those other NPC-exclusive ships while we are at it!
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.
I concur! I would like to see the NPC "big ships" for the other races in the KDF be given the T6 treatment, give us something somewhat new instead of a paint job on what we already have.
"He shall be my finest warrior, this generic man who was forced upon me.
Like a badass I shall make him look, and in the furnace of war I shall forge him.
he shall be of iron will and steely sinew.
In great armour I shall clad him and with the mightiest weapons he shall be armed.
He will be untouched by plague or disease; no sickness shall blight him.
He shall have such tactics, strategies and machines that no foe will best him in battle.
He is my answer to cryptic logic, he is the Defender of my Romulan Crew.
He is Tovan Khev... and he shall know no fear."
I'd love to see T6 for all of those, but mostly for the vandal since i really want to use that T3 design in endgame.
This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.
I just suddenly remembered that we don't have a Ferasan ship yet.
We don't have a Lethean ship either.
TOIVA, Toi Vaxx, Toia Vix, Toveg, T'vritha, To Vrax: Bring in the Allegiance class. 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.
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?
Varanus. KDF needs a T6 science ship. Besides, I don't care for either Nausicaan or Orion designs currently in-game. The Kar'Fi was popular enough that I imagine it will get a T6 design regardless.

NO MORE NON KLINGON SHIPS IN KDF!
Klingon ships look ugly and smell funny. Orion ships are much nicer And Gorn... and... well not Nausicaan, but everyone else.
The Varanus is actually one very nice design, imo. I definitely like it best from all the Gorn vessels. As far as actually using it? I did, but when Secondary deflectors were announced, I put a hold on using any science ships. And since those secondary deflectors finally got added, I still didn't get around to restart science ship builds, not even my Vestas.

I would really love a T6 Orion Corsair, however the T6 command ships are mechanically the Corsair, Marauder and Dacoit reborn anyway, so unfortunately, Cryptic failed us all on that one.
With the Orion FDC's out of the question, the Varanus and Karfi are perfectly solid choices and will give much needed sci capability to the KDF faction.
I honestly don't really care about KDF not having science vessels. I'd rather the devs made BoPs or a T6 Vo'quv more distinct and set them apart to give KDF more unique ship options.
I can understand why people want science vessels for the KDF and for the Roms, I just think it'd be better if the game's factions weren't so homogenised. That said, I very nearly made myself a Gorn delta recruit with the intention of getting the Varanus at endgame. Ultimately what stopped me was that I wish the Gorn were their own mini-faction rather than a KDF thrall, and had their own ship progression tiers.
While I do like the Varanus' model I'd prefere a more agile ship like the Phalanx. The trunrate may not be a whole lot different but it sure helps a bit.
Let's frankenstein both ships and make a glorious T6 monster out of it.
Edit:
10% Phalanx & 25% Varanus eh? Well, according to cryptic we don't exist......

Yeah, all 31 of you definitely exist.
I joke but I wouldn't be opposed to pretty much any of the options given. I just have a soft spot for the Orion designs above all else and would really like a new Eng/Sci FDC with a Command seat or something for my Orion toon. Her Fleet Corsair has done its due diligence and will deserve its retirement, should a replacement ever come to allow it that honor.
The Bortasqu' could use an Tier upgrade. It's actually a very decent ship. I recommend giving it a 1.1 shield modifier though, because for a flagship - - it's sorely lacking.
Other than that, I'd love a Vo'Quv to be available at a higher Tier and available in the C-Store.

Stat wise it actually is good (srsly, the t5u comamnd variant is pretty awesome boff & console wise), the only thing holding it back is that terrible turn rate. Even for cruisers 5.5 with only an inertia rating of 18 is pretty bad....

Don't make ARC mandatory! Keep it optional only!
