Its one of the most popular and oldest ships in the KDF side and a personal favorite. Also the only that launch Birds-of-Prey. I am pretty sure a T6 version would be quite successful and the graphical parts of the ship are already there since a T5(U) version and a Mirror T5 version exist meaning it would make its introduction cheaper than that of an average ship. Please consider introducing it for all us carrier captains.

Would be nice to have basic cloak added indeed. A major point of Klingon BoP is to ambush and flank, but having its big obvious mothership around might give any enemy a clue.
they could place surveys on which ships people would be interested on(and willing to pay for) and have to pick 3 from all the T5s list that dont have a T6 variant and use that data to their advantage.
Also having devs/CMs play a secret toon each side and "meld" with people without knowing who they are would help them get general opinion of what players need, what problems they face, which ships are popular etc.
But yes just email or client surveys at times would do as well

Its one of my favorites as well no matter side
We are talking about a starship which is exclusive to the KDF player faction. Which, many of us have been aware, has had uneven support over the history of the game. That said, I have to wonder how much influence the new Discovery D7 Flight-Deck Cruiser will have on the KDF faction? I speculate this can help (or hinder) where - on a Developer's whiteboard - our T6 Vo'Quv sits at any given time. Perhaps timing for this request is better this time around?
This is an ongoing call from the player base. Doesn't seem to be having much effect, unfortunately.
But just for grins, have you tried to imagine what the trait should be for tier 5 mastery? The problem is that whatever it is would be transferable to other ships. I'm thinking the Vo'quv needs a unique bonus whatever the tier 5 mastery trait is. It was originally a stand-out for its sheer size. Personally, I'd like to see it have the highest sheer hull mass/strength of any ship in the game, and maybe give it cruiser commands instead of the usual carrier commands. Adding the four weapons slots fore and aft of a typical cruiser might be a bit much though... there is such a thing as game balance.
Still, as a Klingon exclusive ship, the Vo'quv tier 5 trait would be restricted to Klingon captains. So, it needs to be something very appropriate for Klingons. Any ideas?
Activating ramming speed causing all your pets to ram the target?
I think the only T6 KDF with 2 hangars right now are Sarcophagus and Durgath indeed so nothing for T6 carriers in c-store
and even if we add the T5-U that numbers doesnt increase a lot since its the Kar'Fi and Vo'Quv there. Kar'fi is also deserving a T6 version in my opinion
It was the logical time to do it, but they said they didn't have the time to actually do it. I guess other ship artists were busy with other ships.
Maybe they could simply create a Jupiter Variant, say, the "Zeus Carrier" that comes with a Command instead of an Intel seating to release together with a Tier 6 Vo'Quv. (Similar to how we have a Command and Intel Assault Cruiser and a Command and Intel Guardian, though in these cases, the alternate version were special promotional deals). The Jupiter could use an alternate costume, though, maybe at least some alternate nacelles or something like that.
Trait-Wise, ideally the Tier 6 Vo'Quv has a highly desirable trait for many builds, so people will buy it just for the trait alone. It shouldn't be too focused on the Vo'Quv shtick.
The Ensigns of Command - Starship Mastery Trait
Whenever you activate a Ensign Level Bridge Officer Power, you lower the cooldowns of all Bridge Officer Powers of the powers class by 20 % and grant a bonus depending on class. Tactical: +40 Accuracy and Defense; Science: +40 EPG and Drain Expertise; Engineering: +40 Damage Control and Impulse Expertise; Specialization Power: +15 Accuracy, Defense, EPG, Damage Control, Impulse Expertise.

A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"
"It's nothing personal, I just don't feel like I've gotten to know a person until I've sniffed their crotch."
"We said 'no' to Mr. Curiosity. We're not home. Curiosity is not welcome, it is not to be invited in. Curiosity...is bad. It gets you in trouble, it gets you killed, and more importantly...it makes you poor!"
Kinda got blown out of the water a bit when the T5 Bortasqu' came out, but even then they played up the size making her easier to detect while under cloak than usual. Maybe they can adapt that for a T6 Vo'Quv so that yea she has a cloak, but her size means its not quite as effective. Unless they want to reverse engineer the Sarco Cloak for a T6 Vo'Quv, citing advances in tech allowed them to adapt the old design for a new ship.

Besides Vo'Quv is older so they could communicate it like the KDF engineers with the help of their allies upgraded etc etc. as they did with other ships citing the alliance after the iconian war where allies shared expertise
I was thinking they ought to update the trait that came with the original carrier, the Obelisk. Though that was from a console, not a "mastery" trait. The "Reactive Antiproton Cascade Emitter" console forces a bunch of nearby enemies to attack you, cranks up your damage resistance, and reflects 200 percent of the damage back at the forced attackers. Sort of a "Super Feedback Pulse". It would be very cool for a T6 Vo'quv to be able to do that.

It was canon in the TV shows, the game is actually ahead 30 years from the last 24th century TV show, and even then in the battles of DS9 klingon ships could cloak as they wanted, in my personal opinion all cloak should be as battlecloak, its not like it would do any dmg to the existing(non) pvp, and its a bit stupid you cant cloak once you are in combat for ships like raptors, but OK I could accept that as big as it is the voquv cant cloak as it wants. even if there are way bigger ships out there now and technology sure would have progressed heaps in that direction.
What I would be more interested in is the trait, I think the T6 Voquv should have a pet trait as it was the first carrier in-game, and the trait should be focused on frigate pets as the Voquv has iconic Bird of Prey pets.
There are canonical situations in which it would be a bad idea to cloak (as seen in Generations, for example), but cloaking would still be physically possible nonetheless.
For that matter, in canon cloaks were easily installable on any ship, even in the field.
