I'll start this with a quick question; is the Guardian meant as the replacement for the Ambassador, as a replacement?
When the Guardian was released, most people (including myself) for a period of time assumed that the Guardian was to be the new Galaxy; she looked very similar, and had the appearance of a mainline Cruiser. Obviously the T6 Galaxy found it's way here, along with the T6 Excelsior, and (no doubt) a soon to be T6 Sovereign. I'm not really seeing another strong T6 Cruiser though, I just don't think there's enough variation left for that, with the exception of the Odyssey. The Ambassador was never really a sought after ship, and I don't remember the last time I saw someone flying one..
Have we seen the last of the Ambassador, and if not, what are the chances the ship artists will fix the axis before releasing a new model?

The Guardian was more of a T6 hybrid of the Galaxy and Ambassador.
Somewhat of a nit-picky stance there.
Role wise the Guardian fits the same role as he Ambassador did very well, even if its not a literal T6 Ambassador
With this in mind, they really should allow the Ambassador skin on the Guardian and just make it 'official.'
A bunch of ships could have followed and benefited from that formula.
Phantom with Defiant skins, for example, since the Phantom statistically looked like an improved Defiant.
Agreed, they would have hit it out of the park with the Phantom if they had allowed the Defiant Skin from the start. That, combined with the ship trait and layout would have made it a HUGE seller.
Instead, you hardly see any Phantoms anymore because people don't want to fly a pancake.
Whilst being almost five times as long.
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.
