So, what's left?

I've been surprised at some of the ships that've been upgraded already (practically fainted when the T6 Avenger was announced). Recently I've been thinking about what ships from T5 have yet to make the jump up to T6 yet. Initially I thought there wasn't much remaining, but the more I thought about it the more classes of ship that popped into memory. Of the strictly Federation vessels yet to get the T6 treatment, off the top of my head I can think of the:
Sovereign class
Ambassador class
Nebula class
Luna class
Vesta class (and their variants)
And finally the reliable old Patrol Escort

That may well be all of them, although chances are I've forgotten some. That's one escort, two cruisers and three science ships. Of those which would you like to see make the upgrade next? Would you buy them? Or do you want to see more new designs like the Command Battlecruisers, Guardian or Intel and pilot ships, maybe to go along with new specialisations?

    Chances are we'll see a T6 sovy and T6 vesta line someday, doubt the will touch the rest especially the forsaken sci ships. While the nebula has some small cult following the deep space & reconnaissance sci ships are pretty much lost in oblivion.

    That'd be a shame, the Luna's a great design and the Nebula would be interesting, especially using Andromeda style parts.

    Personally I'm hoping for an Ambassador class sooner rather than later.

    Well for current T5's that haven't been redone yet you've got:
    • Nebula (canon ship)
    • Nova/Rhode Island (both canon ships)
    • Olympic (canon ship)
    • Luna (not canon but from a novel series)
    • Trident etc. (Deep Space Science Vessel)
    • Patrol Escort
    • Rapier/Escort (canon ship)
    • Star Cruiser
    • Sovereign (canon ship + it's the Enterprise E)
    • Vesta variants
    • Ambassador (canon ship although it lives on in the T6 Guardian, just let us use the T5 skin!)

    So there's still a tonne of stuff they could potentially release, and even if things like the DSSV never get a T6 it would be nice to be able to at least make use of the skins off them for top tier ships.
    At the very least i'd like to see the canon ships from the shows and films get released at T6. I mean the Gal-X has a T6 version and it was only in one episode, yet the Olympic which was in the same episode for just as long has been ignored!

    Bah! How could I forget the Nova/Rhode Island?! Love that little ship. Though if it was gonna come out I'd imagine it would've come out with it's larger role during Delta Rising. Maybe if Harry Kim gets a role in season 12.

    Things from novels might have IP issues to iron out, notice that there are lot of T6 sci ships that feds can use.

    A T6 Steamrunner is missing, too

    I doubt you will see a steam runner. That was a steam only ship and to offer a T6 will probably violate an agreement between cryptic and Valve

    I vote for Olympic. I rather like my fishbowl...​​

    I really wish they'd come out with a new Nebula (it'd take all of a couple days to get one made, given how many GCS parts they have), since my T5U one is...not exactly showing it's age, but it could use a bit more punch. Though if the constant supply of escorts and cruisers is going to continue, a new saber class would be nice.

    It's a shame with the new announcement that any new ships (such as the ones above) aren't on the horizon. Could maybe see a Sovereign, what with the whole First Contact time travel thing, but that's about it.

    They released ship after ship after ship, month after month for quite a while. I actually don't mind them taking time off of ships for a while. Imho, they can take a well earned break for a while.

    Lol. They didn't take a break, or at least much of one, with these coming out:

    Then I suppose break time is over. I didn't expect them to go a full year without a new ship anyway. =)
