  This is kinda where I think we're going with the Krenim anni ship.
  If it's anything like last years anni the freebie ship was a sort of precursor to the Command Cruisers which fully introduced the command powers on trial in the Samsar.
  
  So with that in mind I'm hoping the sci ship freebie leads to some new faction specific science ships. Something like T6 versions of older science stuff like the Nebula or Luna classes or maybe something new.

  I was thinking the same thing, when reading the stats post last wednesday, and thought of the same as you. I'd love both T6 versions of those ships, or even new ones. But a Sci ship would be very welcome.

  It is almost inevitable we get a new specialization soon and I'll bet my own grandmother that it's Temporal with a heavy science focus. This would of course mean 3-pack ships for all factions that are hopefully new unique designs with new mechanics and such. Cruisers and escorts have received their own specs it's time for science to receive hers!
  
  Anyways i really hope this happens.

  FYI the premonition was built in an alternate timeline that never existed due to the premonition's own interference. the ship was designed and built 2382 in that timeline.
  
  as far technology built entirely in 2410, it will take a while to understand time, how to traverse it safely, what effects on the timeline one ship could have and so on, there is so much to discover about time based technologies, it would take a while to understand the mechanics properly to build it into a starship. obviously learning from tech from the future that ferengi managed to get a hole of and stuff done by the krenim, it is very possible starfleet may have a working understanding of what time travel is, but creating technologies around that will have to be careful of.
  
  remember those temporal accords? the only reason those existed is to put those events during the iconian invasion to bed for good by keeping races from messing around in the past to change the future, again all done from the kyana system in a krenim space base. i doubt anyone can just warp around in time to go where they please, what happens if someone steps on a spineless worm near a pond only to dsicover that because that worm died, humanity didnt exist as it was a critical cycle for human evolution.
  
  frankly time based ships are a waste of time with the restrictions placed on them anyway.

  T6 Miranda Hero Ship FTW.
  Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.

  Yeah, I pretty much believe too we will have a new specialization, and would love it to be as you say.

  Yeah, I remeber the premonition was built on an alternate timeline, and as it interfered it never existed. I didn't mean it had to be the premonition, just that FEDs & Co. should have ships designed with its own purpose, to studying time; even if it's just for them to have some story backgorund, and they don't have any time-travelling OP ability in game.
  
  Maybe we could have this ships be what later would become the Relativity class ship; ships which defend the timeline from temporal incursions.
