I think It would be so nice to get a refit of Voyager, As well as all of the other ships from Lev-10 to 40- and the Maranda class starter ship. What do you think people ?????

Most other ships other than a select few have a T6 version...but they said they will eventually get working on them
There are 2 different T6 ships that can use the Miranda class skin (4 if you count the fleet versions)

As already mentioned, it already exists, and it has a 'screen-accurate' skin already. It doesn't need a refit. Alot of ships have already got higher res skins now, so what you're asking for has already happened and is happening.
Sorry... The D'D is a decent ship but handles like a brick even at T6.
Many ships have not only gotten T6 refits, but have also had full remodels. Ships like the Akira, Prometheus, and even the venerable Miranda, which actually has 2 T6 variants, the Reliant and Clarke. Note that while the Clarke is supposed to be a T6 Malachouski, she was added to the Light Cruiser line, of which the Miranda is, and thus can use Miranda parts. So technically speaking we have one ship with 2 C-Store available T6 variants. Before that the closest we had to that I believe was the Sovereign line with the Archon and Vizier classes, but the Vizier was mostly available via Attack Wing promo code for the majority of its existence.
Myself and likely others probably hope for a few Smaller Bundles like the Mirror Bundle which was nice.
Also, saving this post for future reference next time people make up derogatory nicknames for ships they don't like as proof that it is a mod approved practice

While its possible, the Devs have also stated they're starting to divorce model revamps from new ship releases. So its entirely possible that they've got some new models without a new ship in the pipe.
I'm actually confused what motivation they would have to separate the 2 things. I mean, if they are going to spend the development time/resources revamping a model they would want to get some kind of financial return wouldn't they? I mean if they want to do it out of the kindness of their hearts I guess that's great? I'm just confused how they would justify the cost of doing so.

Both canon ships. Both have been in game since launch.
Now... as for divorcing the model revamps from c-store releases, it not only gives the Devs more freedom to decide when to release a new model, especially if they aren't working on a new variant of that particular ship, it freshens up older ships, which in turn may raise interest in said older ships. Many of which right now DO have T6 variants that can make use of those new models.
So... technically speaking... revamping older models to the current standard raises interest in the associated ships, and thus... potentially raises interest in buying the associated ships to USE said models.
I completely understand your logic, and I'm not saying you are wrong. But I will still be extremely surprised if they put the time and money into revamping a ship and don't capitalize on that investment by some kind of legendary or "ship of the line" release to go along with it. I think these 2 Rom ships will serve as a good test case to see what they are up to. Let's see what happens and compare notes

Yeah, both of those scenarios actually agree with my point.
In Scenario 1 a dev is doing the work in his free time and not on the company dime. Hence there was no company investment.
In Scenario 2 the work was done because they planned on selling(key word) the revamped ship in some form. They later scrapped the sale, and only released the ship because the work had already(key word) been done.
So back to my point: if they are going to spend development time/money on a revamp, they are almost certainly going to try to monetize it. And both of those scenarios agree with that logic.

Yeah that's the one exclusion they've made, since the Dominion joined the Alliance.
No worries, I wasn't saying you were
No, I never said they would absolutely never revamp a ship without some plan to monetize it. But what I did say is that I would have a hard time believing they would spend the development time/resources to revamp a ship without wanting to capitalize on that investment. Sorry you misunderstood, but thanks for following up to clarify.

Not only that... it is THE Iconic Dominion ship. The first one we saw, the one we saw the most of, and there was even one recovered by the Federation and used against the Dominion. Just like the TOS trio are Iconic to their respective factions, the Bugship is iconic to the Dominion.
T5 Jem'Hadar Attack Ship (the original one, Phoenix)
T5 Jem'Hadar Escort (The Dominion faction starter ship, available to other characters for dil via Cross Faction Flying unlock)
T6 Jem'Hadar Strike Ship (can use the T5 skin, available as Promo ship or account unlock via a Mudd's bundle)
T6 Jem'Hadar Recon Ship (same skin as the Strike ship, and should also be able to use the T5 skin, promo ship)
The fact that the T6 ships can use the T5 skin make them some of the few Jem'Hadar ships that have customizable parts. So while not legendary, there are multiple versions of the bug ship available, including the one that's available cheap for dil. (Haven't checked the T5 Escort to see if it can use the T6 parts.)
I mean I love Romulans and like the D'D...but yeah it's just a massive whale without cruiser commands...so it's just meh at best.
