Though, actually your Thread Title is misleading...
You apparently are seeking a Server which is 'TOS Only' oriented (not just a T6 Connie).
While I praise that thought (and have talked about just such a thing in the past here), it would essentially mean that Cryptic/PWE would have to create a whole new game with new servers in order to accommodate such a request.
From your lips to Gods ears, but don't hold yer breath.

Built one in Foundry once just to visualize what it might look like, but never could incorporate it into a mission.
Why not? A Constitution-class ship carried the torch for this franchise as THE ship for it's first 20 years before even TNG was a dream in Gene Rodenberry's head.
But hey, we got endgame ENT era ships all around which predate the Constitution-class... Hell, they predate the FEDERATION, we got playable Species 8472 BIOSHIPS, we got other non-faction ships as playable ships.
But the notion of the original hero-ship class being playable at endgame?
ABSURD!

Whatever we may think of it (and trust me, I'm firmly in the same camp as you), CBS, aka "the rights holder", "the final arbiter of what can and can't be included", etc. etc., has said "no endgame Connie" at some point or another.
As I like to point out, while the answer was, and still seems to be, no - there is the infamous sliver of hope that was left by a previous EP and stored in the FCT thread for posterity...
While all your points are valid, the most reasonable rationale for this exclusion is that CBS feels it "unfair" that the Enterprise-no-bloddy-letter or Enterprise-A should not be able to stand up toe-to-toe with the Enterprise-E or -F in an "epic cruiser battle".
Which is why I've advocated that a potential T5 Connie (or T6, or tier whatever) should be reclassified as a science ship, so that the only way a Connie > Oddessy is through the liberal application of "space magic"...
At this point, one could also release the NX-01 variant as a skin for the Akira-class "escort" T5/T6s, and we'd have all the iconics in-game at endgame...

i could understand if this had never been answered but they have said time and again that it wont happen so let it go.

A T6 Connie on the 6th Anniversary if the game
- AND -
It's the 50th Anniversary of the franchise.
Just, how more perfect can that be? Hmmm?
Complete and total B.S.
There is no way that someone that spends as much time as you do on the forums isn't familiar with this thread and the rules against it.
There is absolutely no way that someone with over 1700 posts has never seen a 'T6 Connie' thread.
Hell no it shouldn't be let go.
Look how stupid the current ship lineup can be in what they do and don't allow. You have Ancient ENT-era ships in the varying factions that predate the Federation, and they're playable at endgame but not the Constitution. You have playable Non-Faction ships, to include most ridiculously Playable Species 8472 BIOSHIPS, on top of Herald, Dominion, Breen, etc. ships, but not the Constitution at endgame. The KDF happily flies the D-7 / K'T'Inga, yet it's counterpart the Constitution-class is nowhere to be found endgame.
You have a playable Kazon ship at endgame, THE KAZON, FFS... but NOT the original hero ship class of Star Trek, the Constitution-class.
Care to list those endgame ships that predates federation itself?
You know everyone can throw around empty words like this but I haven't seen any playable ship that'd made even to T5-U that could predate federation...
[no light escort NX-01 is not an endgame ship....]
[don;t take me wrong It's not an assault, but you are throwing that statement at left and right and you just made me curious which ships could you be refering to]
But one can only wish, right!?
If you go by "canon" timeline, anything from ENT era "predates" TOS and therefore the Federation, and right off the top of my head the Kumari and D'Kyr both can be T5Ued, and the T'Varo skin can be applied to a full on T6.

Kumari were designs from ENT? good to know :P
[same for D'Kyr]
which T6 warbird can use skins from T'Varo? O.o
EDIT: major typo fixed
Where you been Willis??

Long-shot... There's a distinct possibility that some type of Classic TOS Connie IS going to show up in the next 6 to 7 months?
Short-shot... It's better to let one thread languish and die than having new ones show up every week?

I'd guess that there have to be someone who'll jump in a moment claiming this thread being still open as a proof that PWE does not read feedback forums :P
... or They read them and mostly don't care...
(which I don't really believe)

First and foremost, the Federation was founded towards the end of ENT. So all the ships you saw in ENT being used by various races predates the Federation itself.
STO Kumari (ENT ship reference)
STO D'Kyr (ENT ship reference)
STO Somraw Raptor (ENT ship reference)
STO T'Varo (ENT ship reference to include TOS Bird of Prey)
- Of interest with the endgame T'Varo at T5 and T6, you can use the Ancient ENT-era model, the T'Varo, but not the subsequent T'Liss TOS skin that existed for the T1 version.
There are only 3 ships from the TOS/TMP-era that are playable at endgame.
The KDF's D-7 / K'T'Inga Battlecruiser, B'Rel, and Starfleet's Excelsior-class.
The models exist in STO for the Constitution-class (Refit or otherwise, including STO era variants like Exeter), Miranda (same with its modern STO variants), TOS T'Liss. But you can only use those skins with low tier ships, while you can play with Ancient Pre-Federation ships that preceded the TOS ships at endgame.
