Imo the next bundle will be one of three possibilities:
1) TOS boost bundle with Legendary Miranda (TOS inspired reskin)
2) 2409 Fed boost bundle (not sure what ship they'll use here, Prometheus maybe? Or Inquiry?)
3) Dominion bundle of some kind (probably the Attack Ship, maybe the Dreadnought Carrier)
:: Dominion Battlecruiser (based on T6 Light Battlecruiser)
Unfortunately this one doesn't meet Bort's newly invented criteria that a ship have at least two in-game variants available before it can have a Legendary variant.
:: Constellation (Stargazer)
:: Miranda (Reliant / Saratoga)
:: Centaur
FED Science Vessels:
:: Nebula (Phoenix)
:: Oberth (Tsiolkovsky)
:: Nova (Rhode Island / Equinox)
A Jem'hadar Attack ship would be rather nice, I'd like to see it with a more exotic boff layout than the original versions.
A Keldon would be interesting, they'd have an easy option for a skin, the skin could be a Keldon that's based on the Cardassian Intel ships that Cryptic released.
I'm not a fan of the Legendary stuff, in general. For the first bundle, it was appropriate as it celebrated STO's 10th anniversary, also with an episode which had all the hero ships from the shows in it.
Now it just seems ever more to be another way to milk the player base by selling the same ships again (after some of those had already been put in the packs that make them the most expensive ships in the game). Also, every new release makes the legendary less impressive (since they become less unique) and the existing ships even more so.
Create something new instead. Cryptic has never had any trouble to come up with good designs themselves. Use the talent that's obviously present to create some new own designs.
Or, if you really want to update older, existing ships, sell them in the same way that T6X-upgrade tokens or fleet modules are sold: by asking players to pay a small fee on top of the regular C-store ship to get additional unlocks.
That would fit in with previous methods. It would also come off less as a cash grab as players wouldn't need to feel that their old purchase has suddenly become useless (which it kind of is now, cause the new ones grant access to all the older stuff as well).

I would like to see an update to / revamp of the Akira and the Vesta.
The Akira should get a second hangar bay - if there's one Federation ship that deserves it, it's that one.
For the Vesta I'd be happy with some visual changes. There needs to be a nacelle / stanchion option that puts the nacelles as far apart as the Esquiline does, but without the 'wrinkles' in the stanchions. The deflector needs to be changed so that it still has the right mass from the side, but without looking like a giant eye or something when using the Vesta skin.
And add more windows, elongate some other parts. Lastly, change the way it flies. I want it to look and fly like a real cruiser, such as the Sovereign. That ship really is one of the most fun ships to steer and fly and more ships should act like it.

The D'Kora is a rather interesting choice, I would support that one, same with the Vesta. I edited my above post to replace the Light Battlecruiser with the "Battleship / Dreadnought", to meet Bort's criteria.

the days of legendary are gone. legendary is now the norm that everyone wants. it has lost any meaning of the word.
Having gotten them all (thank heavens for the gift of... well, gift cards), I'm inclined to agree. The 10th anniversary set was ABSOLUTELY worth it. The character boost ones and the mirror Gal-X were good as well. The rest... leaning to "meh".
Legendary Mat'Ha - give it an even better nose cannon console? A second console that buffs cannons, turn rate, and extends the barrage time + damage while cutting the cooldown in half?
also i noticed some people in this thread trying to poo poo some of the ships you named.
I would love to see every Canon ship get the Legendary treatment, however the devs have mentioned certain criteria on their weekly Livestream. Since I'm aware that many people here do not watch those I make sure to pass on the information when it is relevant to a particular thread.
And just to be clear I do not agree with much of the dev's stated criteria, especially since the newest one they invented was broken by two ships in the very first Legendary bundle.

curious about this list..
It's not a list (at least not publicly), just some criteria. Originally the only criteria stated was that a ship had to either be a hero ship or a ship that carried an episode, which I think is understandable even though it's a bit vague. Two weeks ago however Borticus stated on the Livestream that a ship needed to have an in-game lineage of at least two existing variants before it could be considered, which is complete nonsense imo considering the Disco Connie and the JJPrise only had one existing variant at the time that their Legendary was released (this was originally the criteria for the ships of the line bundles, which DID make sense considering what those bundles were intended to do).

however, at some point, everything is going to have to be legendary, or nothing will sell. maybe not today, maybe not this year, but at some point.
Well, I'm sure we will likely see more ships get the Miranda treatment, the T6 Miranda was your typical cruiser...but recently they released the new one and added a hangar to it.
Adding a hangar to say a Defiant wouldn't make much sense, but many ships had shuttlebays that would be big enough...heck even the Defiant had some shuttlepods.

correct. and adding an unlimited bay to a smaller ship than a carrier takes away from carriers. which then reduces the carrier uniqueness, for many reasons, and thats a diff topic.
Well I don't think that bothers them...ever since they changed flight deck cruisers to flight deck carriers they've left the inferior standard carriers completely untouched.
There are a few nice ones here that would make great Legendary. The odds of a Keldon and Galor being among them are nil with both only having 1 variant each in game. It has already been mentioned for a ship to qualify for Legendary Status there has to be at least 2 variants of the ship in game. (with a couple exceptions in the 10th anni leg bundle)
Nova/Rhode Island...yesterday, today and tomorrow. It's the most beautiful ship in the game, which is being tragically neglected. It's also being made in most desperate need, because of these awful 32nd Century "designs".
I like the idea of the Bortas'qu. It's the flag of the Klingon Defence Force and there are already legendary interations of the Romulan and Federation flagships. It's not "Legendary" in that it has a pedigree that extends into Trek beyond STO but it is one of the designs the studio should be rightfully proud of designing in house.

1) TOS boost bundle with Legendary Miranda (TOS inspired reskin)

I personally think that either a KDF or DOM double-feature are pretty likely.
I'd *love* a Negh'Var that doesn't sukk.
A Jem'hadar Attack ship would be rather nice, I'd like to see it with a more exotic boff layout than the original versions.
A Keldon would be interesting, they'd have an easy option for a skin, the skin could be a Keldon that's based on the Cardassian Intel ships that Cryptic released.
Could put them both in a dual pack.
Now it just seems ever more to be another way to milk the player base by selling the same ships again (after some of those had already been put in the packs that make them the most expensive ships in the game). Also, every new release makes the legendary less impressive (since they become less unique) and the existing ships even more so.

Wouldn't mind a legendary Ha'apax or Surhuelh could be nice
Would love a Legendary Jem'hadar Dreadnought Carrier, preferably with the vanguard mechanic

This seems like a good list of potential candidates.

Perhaps legendary versions of the Kelvin and Discovery D7s to match all the Connies getting legendary

a pack that lets you pick the ships you want.
also i noticed some people in this thread trying to poo poo some of the ships you named.
dont worry about them.
they aren't devs.
their opinions dont matter.
you ask for what you want and let the devs decide. no players on thsi forum can tell you what you want isnt right.
And just to be clear I do not agree with much of the dev's stated criteria, especially since the newest one they invented was broken by two ships in the very first Legendary bundle.
