The devs are not interested in science ship, maybe one day sometime in the future a new dev will join Cryptic who will have a sweet spot for Science vessels.

Some leaks reported a T6 Vesta in the works. Of course, this is just leaks and rumors.
But if that's the case; I could see them just porting the T6 Vesta stats over to a refurbished Gorn Varanus and a Romulan vessel. Maybe the Assault Warbird (which became the bottom half of the Kara/Ha'paax/Ha'kona and doesn't have a standalone design anymore).
As to why a refurbished Varanus? Because an interview with Geko himself straight-up said that's what they'll probably do if they plan to give KDF a science vessel again. And this was because their metrics on the KDF side for sci ship purchases was so bad, so they would rather just reuse an existing asset and see if that sells better first than waste effort on a new ship.
Aside from that, the Devs really should just upgrade the Dyson Science ships to T6, add that 13th seat and Mastery Trait, and grandfather existing owners of the ships/bundle while upping the costs for new players. Win-win for everyone.
I'm betting we get a Tier 6 Luna or DSSV in the next few weeks. Betting we see an Odyssey-ish Nebula T6 too. Really they don't have many other ships to make T6 versions of EXCEPT Science at this point.

Well, if the new devs brings a lot of new players with him that buy Science Vessels, I am sure they'll do that.

Given that the final Tour of Duty Admiralty reward for Feds was the Rhode Island, one could make a case of seeing a T6 version of it being in the cards.
Vesta is still the only sci vessel that you need, its hard to improve upon that design, soon as a t6 version hits (which may be never) then everyone can go to that one instead of the t5u version.
Yes a geared out and well played Vesta Recon is a tough ship. I use it as my default on a Sci Charecter and it dishes out punishmnet with the best if not better and is very hard to kill. Just wish it had one more weapon slot up front or an extra tac slot for the tactical recon version.
Title says it all. The new deflector and set coming with stormbound is a GREAT science set. But considering the fact at tier 6, we have next to no science ships, why are we getting so much science equipment?
Someone explain?
I like to think of it as an omen of things yet to come. Perhaps our winter ship will be a science ship? Hope hope hope...
