At the moment I think not, at least not as playable small craft, you can get those as hangar pets from certain DSC era ships but I think the small craft version is faction locked atm.
The AoY starter ship is locked to TOS characters but the shuttle is available for purchase any Fed-aligned. The Disco starter is purchasable by any Fed-aligned but the shuttle is locked. The Dominion's starter ship and shuttle are both locked.
We technically already have access to the Dominion Starter ship. Its the T5 Holy Bugship from the first Winter Event that is currently in the Phoenix Box. So yes... Not having access to the Dominion Starter ship makes sense.
Sometimes I wonder if STO forums have some secret meaning for the term "makes sense" that I'm not privy to, because every time I see someone use it, it never makes any sense to me.
I wouldn't mind having the Disco shuttle for another shuttle admiralty helper. But overall, I wouldn't be too upset if it never came to 2410 Feds. I have all my Disco stuff on my Disco captain, 'cause it all meshes well with warp out, beam in, scanning, etc animations.
That said, I remember hearing the same thing Rattler did about them coming to 2410 Feds anyways. I don't remember where I heard it though, sorry.

Makes sense.

I would rather the shuttles be updated graphically than get Tier 6 shuttles.
Uh... who said anything about T6 Shuttles? There are no tiers for shuttles.
And frankly I think we could use more small craft KDF side. Maybe convert some of the hanger pets into shuttles, like the Orion Slavers.
yeah kdf side is very short on shuttles in comparison. As for the point of the thread, I would like it for my non-discovery fed captains as well. It's the most aesthetically pleasing discovery spacecraft, and looks better than the other small craft fed side imo.
Edit: Also, the TOS Shuttlecraft is not locked to TOS, any FED captain can get one with the TOS bundle in the c-store.
i would like a playable class c shuttle with disco phasers that be cool
That would be possible if they had a DSC omnibeam, something that would be good in general anyway (especially if they are the linked type of phaser or disruptor).

Yep, Nemesis, a Type 17. Matching Dune Buggy is out as the Devs can't figure out how to do Ground vehicles easily.

Since I just finished up a binge re-watch of Voyager, how about Admiral Janeway's SC-4 (uprated Type 18H) as well. Timeframe is just about right for the game too.

aren't rommie just as short? that said no faction in game has that many shuttles, IIRC shuttle missions were deemed unpopular and thus cryptic stopped making flyble smallcraft.
Genuinely of two minds about this. The Disco shuttle looks so much better than most of the other Starfleet small craft we have in game right now. But it would still be a shuttle with all the limitations currently imposed upon small craft. I'd spend the Zen for one. Then promptly park it after retrieving the Admiralty card. My DSC themed char would fly it in that bogus race mission in the Delta Quadrant. But this would be the only char I did this on. I enjoy some of the Shuttle Events we have. But I do not drop everything else and rush off to them when they occur.
Still, the OP's request to Cryptic seems reasonable. Other players are probably much more enthused about acquiring a Disco shuttle than I currently am. I can and do fully support any idea which allows more players to enjoy playing STO longer and more often.
A six year old boy and his starship. Living the dream.

I have the TOS Shuttle for my TOS Connie.

Works for me!
Argo shuttle would be interesting indeed. And also the Scout Ship from Insurrection.

from TAS?
would be fun, but then we would have to have underwater stuff to do
and how many would be named Slave 1??
Pretty sure he means the shuttle from Star Trek Nemesis. The one with the matching dune buggy.
One less than you're thinking at least. I wouldn't name mine that.
