I loved my Ki'Tang / Ch'Tang and Ning'Tao BOPs back in the day, 10 years ago. Will you ever give us T6 versions of these ships with with more weapons, five bridge officer positions, and appropriate number of console slots? I would love to be able to fly one of them again.

if I stop posting it doesn't make you right it. just means I don't have enough rum to continue interacting with you.
That isn't quite truthful being that bird of prey ships are the very staple of the KDF. The problem however is they haven't figured out a paywall that will work with a bop but the D7 they've done okay with it but still most KDF players don't want a paywall and want ships that all their characters can use.
They have used the excuse that in the various series the k'vort is too large but with a whole decade of advancements to the game they could make it work if they really wanted to but they do not want to is the main problem. The hegh'ta is a classic example because its always been a T4 ship and they have never made anything except that one model for players to use but so many different updated ones for npc ships. It was extremely lucky we even got the Kor pilot version and if it wasn't for discovery those completely ugly looking things would have never made it into the game and discovery is so bad with them that they had to give them battle cloaks just to be able to sell them. Although even I have to draw a line at a flying toilet brush like that temporal battlecruiser lol. Would be nice if they had alternate Cryptic looking pieces for the ship because I will admit the mogh, vor'ral, negh'tev, etc all their versions of classic star trek klingon ships are way better looking.
If anything though they could take the k'vort and make it the heavy bop we never got but make it very cool at the same time. It would be a little bit more sluggish than other bops but make it have the first KDF multi vector that when separated has 2 wing men like the jem hadar have with vanguard dominion ships. Which a different b'rel t6 would be cool too and make the first 360 degree omni like torpedoes that take the place of the aft weapon slots,
That I agree with 100% -- Cryptic has done some great canon and original Klingon designs and could do it again, but the recent ships can only use the skins I hate with the blazing fury of a thousand suns
As much as I actually enjoyed Discovery, I am not a big fan of its ship designs. Some are okay, but really the biggest problem is that they are only one single costume. That's boring. If we could have the same number of Klingon ships, but all of them being upgrades to lower Tier KDF ships, I would have gotten a lot more out of them.
But even that wouldn't get us a model update to existing canon KDF ships. The D7 and K'Tinga really need one. I really love the TMP/Undiscovered Country Klingon ship, but the current model is disappointing.
I wouldn't go that far. there's still much that is lacking and should be dealt with
aut vincere aut mori pro imperio
either to conquer or to die for the Empire
that's the answer as to why you do not see other BoPs. and the Kor is a submarine IIRC with the enhanced battle cloak
now that said... a K'vort MW FDC or strike wing or whatever they are calling flight deck cruisers....
I don't think anyone has the information of how well they sell other than the lower player count for KDF and KDF-aligned.
If the game is to expand in a tiny bit from a gameplay perspective, then more T6 account-wide BoP really should be released, and my Zen is waiting for more so long as they are classic Klingon and not disco styled.
they do, the Ouroboros is a cross faction bird of prey in all but name. even has the - 1 boff slot for all universal trade.

I would buy a T-6 Kamarag and any new T-6 BoP because I want ALL my Klingon characters to fly different BoP (and the Kamarag because I like that Eng/Sci combo in the Anniversary version).

If a faction has something unique by original design, it would be nice to have a bit more selection in that category.

I'd love a T6 Kamarag as well. Also I'd love to get a T6 Ki'tang. I already have the Mirror one, and honestly I kinda like the mirror skins and use them on my KDF ships when I can.
Right now though my KDF is maining a Kelvin D7, sometimes bouncing between that and my Blackguard or Sarco depending on my mood. I'd love to get my hands on a Discovery D7 someday. Fly that with my Elite Slavers... MUA HAHAHA much pillaging will be had. The Miracle Worker ship almost became a main and was competing with my Fleet Vor'ral.
Only Discovery Klingon ship I don't have right now is the Cleave. Wouldn't mind getting that sometime. Fly around, maybe mount Vaadwaur or Kelvin emitters, listening to Pirates of the Carribbean or something as I broadside something like a Galleon. lol
BTW my KDF is an Orion
Finally gonna have the Kelvin Timeline D4x Pilot BoP...and going to give it to my Klingon Tactical officer. She and her crew is already outfitted with the "Kelvin Timeline Klingon Regalia"... now, they have the BoP to go with it.

Well, now then can sell us the same ships but with 2410 skins again!!.. everybody wins!, well... not everybody..
Make as tough as the Defiant but with the speed and manoeuvrability of the BoP

really? I because I've been messing around with mine the past few days and haven't had that problem.

Hull shouldn't be a problem whatsoever, but that 0.88 shield mod can be a bit challenging against torpedo spreads, and KDF thrive on challenge and battle.
Here's some suggestions: shields work wonders against torpedoes because of their innate torpedo dmg resistances. Whatever portion of incoming damage a shield is able to absorb, it will along with those resistances, and if there is a remaining portion it cannot, that facing will drop and your hull dmg res will have to absorb the remainder. There's also bleedthrough that your hull always has to absorb. Resilient shields minimize the bleedthrough, which is inevitable from high burst damage torp spreads, and remains important.
Suddenly losing a shield facing is very bad. Make use of BoP's super high turn rate to expose the other shield facings, and then redistribute shields or focus shields wherever you anticipate damage.
Shields get obliterated really easily. Capacity, restoration, shield hardness all help with that, obtainable from a number of consoles (fleet K13 consoles, Voth Power Subcore, etc.), but so does shield subsystem power and shield regeneration values in spec points. I underestimated just how powerful 2/3 shield regen points (innate shield healing) really are especially when combined with high shield subsystem power, and have spent countless hours testing various aspects of shielding and the spec system very recently to determine this.
Shield overload starship trait is excellent paired with EP2shields, and transfers over to KDF once unlocked fed side.
Both pilot and intel spec systems have very effective shield boosts.
It is possible to cloak with your shields up, somewhat, if you have Emergency Response Teams starship trait from the Vulcan T'Pau Scout ship. Obviously this help when cloaking to retreat, heal, and wait on cooldowns.
Kinetic & Physical damage resistances of hull can be stacked well from inexpensive R&D consoles and obviously are a must against such bursts of damage.
Keep high defense rating by flying fast and finding sources of defense rating, which causes more 'Miss' indicators keeping shields and hull ready for the big unavoidable damage bursts. Anticipate damage and keep Evasive Maneuvers on low cooldown.
Keybind all dmg immunity and healing abilities and spam them when taking damage.
Use focused assaults like Cannon Rapid Fire to prevent drawing too much threat from too many sources. Go in and out of firing range - you are fast for a reason.
Use decoys to draw aggro for you. Any simple friendly NPC can soak up huge damage for you even if they vanish after.
No reason to shelve a top of the line BoP unless that playstyle just really does not suit you. No comment on elite TFOs though, but I regularly fly elite Patrols solo and with others in all types of ships to level them and for fun and haven't really had a problem except in a few ships that are just bad by design like Atrox.
same thing for me, but i'm going to try again, i'm tired to fly the pilot raptor t6, and i miss the moving wings animation
I use also the discovery klink ships for my alien toons, there are perfect for them.

l don't know.
l really don't know what l'm about to say, except l have a feeling about it.
That l must repeat the words that come without my knowledge.'
This is the only KDF T6 I want to fly, thankfully its in the starter bundle!!!!
