"My God,man! A T6 NX issued before a T6 Miranda! Are you out of your vulcan MIND?"

You have to say it like McCoy, and mean it! I have a number of people in my fleet that have been waiting years. You know the Miranda Class went through a refit in canon. The guys I know are starting to feel like a nerd on the beach, where the volleyball jocks pin them down and continually kick sand in their face. The T6 Miranda Class Multipurpose Escort - think about it! It is a Sci- Escort e3 s5 t3, an Eng - Escort e5 s3 t4 , or Just your run-of-the-mill Heavy Escorts 5fwd, 3rear, (e4 s3 t5) with double the shielding in the front on the Eng/Tac. The Sci comes with a Outlandish console - like one that launches a Grav-well IV every 45 seconds, and a tac trait the cuts the refresh time on weapons by 3/4.
But the key here is to throw these guys a bone. They've been waiting, hopelessly waiting.
Think about it!

PvP is like that. Khan was clearly P2W and had all of the lockbox traits available at the time while Kirk was getting old and probably forgot to even slot Inspirational Leader.
Khan was devious, so he probably messed up Kirk's keybinds before the fight.
If the last year has proven anything to us, money talks.
Probably happened in that episode where the temporal scientists realized the best temporal stealth technology was to make their timeships physically appear era-appropriate.
wait... khan aint a hero?
I support the Star Trek Battles channel.
In the game ship tiers have always been canon to the game. Yes money talks and a for profit business is foolish to ignore who makes them money. There is a very old saying "Money talks and BS walks." . A good example of this one thing Trump (like him or hate him I don't care) did with the F-35 program. He said this is TRIBBLE that the per unit cost is so high and told Lockheed Martin reduce the cost or else. Well with the DOD holding the wallet and talking the talk Lockheed Martin magicly figured out that a 3/4 of a billion price reduction was a doable. Like I said money talks both in the game and in real life.
I can see that, but I think the Akira and Nebula fall in that line as well.
That said a T6 Luna would get me to open my wallet, much faster than say a Vesta. Luna or Rhode Island as Pilot ships would be very nice indeed.
Now, while the idea of a T6 version is asinine and completely stupid.. so is the idea of a T6 Connie and the dumbest thing ever.. a T6 NX class. With that in mind, I'm absolutely certain that a T6 Miranda is on the horizon. It might not make any sense, but we're talking about a game where everyone in Star Fleet is an Admiral flying around in Iconian ships the size of a small moon.
What makes sense is irrelivant, if they think it will sell, they'll make it. That doesn't mean it isn't stupid though. Just keep making noise and eventually your completely nonsensical request will be fulfilled.

I used to completely oppose the T6 Miranda, but now that we're this far down the rabbit hole with old ships at T6 I no longer oppose it.
While I personally don't think it makes sense, they should do it just so those that want them can fly them. We have abandoned common sense a long time ago, might as well focus on making people happy.
If people want it, let them have it.
Id love to see it and the pioneer get a "Utility Cruiser" treatment, with a pair of universals and two different spec, then like one tac, one eng, one sci. but all of em like lt or ltCmdr so it doesnt really have a 'specialty'
Im sure no one would want this cause it wouldnt min/max the dps charts but I think itd be nice as an actual 'jack of all, master of none'
That was my general idea. It wouldn't specialize in any one role, but could be useful in any role.

Wouldn't mind a Tier 6 version of the Miranda and its variant (and a new variant, and a model overhaul), though.
In ds9, during the Dominion war, they were all destroyed immediately. I mean, some of them we f**ked up. I asked why they were still using a ship from the Wrath of Khan days?
When watching ds9, I began to see the Miranda as the red shirt crewman on ToS. If I saw that ship, I was like, "Oh, they're gonna die."
On a side note:
Why did Starfleet have Mirandas kicking around to use in the Dominican war but no Constitution classes? I think the producers felt the audience wouldn't like to see the "Enterprise" get slaughtered. Starfleet must have had a ton of these ships kicking around and thought, "Why not use thsee against the Jem'Hadar? It'll get rid of these finally and make some room."
When they give a t6 remodeled miranda and connie refit they can release the original movie bridge pack thst can be used on any tos era movie era ship. Including excelsior and ambassador class.
I personally dont care much for mirandas but people love them and we need more true to trek ships flying around.
I was always under the impression that Constitution class was a limited recourse (only 12 were build) while Miranda were left over in the 24c from mass production. I also think that Strafleet almost lost the Dominon war so each and every ship, no matter how old, was thrown at the protection of the Federation.
