Players who acquire this ship will be able to use its ship costume on the Lukari Ho’kuun [T6] as well.

Also, science raider in the form of a totally new ship type, Scout Vessel, missing only a cloak or battle cloak:
Scout Ships are a unique combination of Science Vessel capabilities, in a much smaller, faster and more fragile package. They come with built-in Sensor Analysis and Subsystem Targeting, as well as a Secondary Deflector slot, and are able to benefit from Raider Flanking bonuses as well. These nimble vessels are also similar to a Raider in that they boast an abundance of universal bridge officer seats, can load dual cannons, and have similar weapon slot configurations.
A big thank you to Cryptic for making that flying saucer design happen, for the real nice Skant - across all factions! -, the super sweet TNG galaxy class interior (I haven't picked this up yet, a bit pricey, maybe some day with a sale), the Scout Vessel class which I hope will be popular and make for a T6 variant in the future, the TNG shuttle, weekend event store account-wide unlocks, and whatever other cool stuff I might have missed or might yet come along.

I usually don't participate in Lock Box gambling & haven't spent anymore $ since Cryptic has yet to fix my account, but it seems like Cryptic did pretty well with this Tzenkethi Lock Box offerings.
I like your thinking.
Would not have minded if they released a community ship-design pack that allowed you to buy the various designs from the community contests, and then apply them to the ship from that contest (I would not mind if this were done both for the Lukari and the Jupiter contest) many might buy such a pack.
Or a T6 Oberth update with a phasic cloak? (Pegasus class?)
I really hope a T6 Oberth will be a c-store ship like the T6 Miranda, I would be very disappointed if it wasn't. But I don't really see it as a scout ship since it was supposed to be a science ship.
Sigh, this is already confusing players... The Nova is already classified as a Science Vessel. But there is precedent of an old ship switching ship types in favor of a brand new ship type at T6(Heavy raptor to Flight-Deck Raptor). So maybe...?

Scout ships are a subcategory of science ship, though. With raider-like qualities, which would go astonishingly well with a phasic cloak (and if the cloak is a console, it helps keep the ship off of the toes of true raiders and allows those who want to play it as a more conventional sci ship an option for that.)
Makes more sense than the Nova, IMPO.

( cue spooky X-files theme )
I thought the exact same thing the moment I read the description of the Scout Ship. Raider Flanking is something I never considered for a T6 Nova, but if they do go the Pilot route, it's a damn fine fit.
