The Anvirsary Ship sounds like its of an internal Cryptic Design instead of being the K'vort as expected.

Could it be a Leathean or Ferasan Ship? Another Orion, Nuas, or Gorn Ship? Or a Klingon Science Ship.

Or a Ship to go with a New Race for Klingons?

Any free ship for the KDF has to be of a Klingon design. Cryptic won't release a race specific ship design like the Orion, and Gorn ships without putting it in to the C store.

I do like the Idea of a Lethean ship. This would give me a reason to roll a Lethean alt. and to spend money on this game again.

I'm kind of hoping for something Ferasan. We never did get the red-headed stepchild version of the Atrox when the two cat species arrived.

I actually have a feeling it will be Ferasan Ship as well, an inducement to spend money to buy Ferasan Characters and Boffs.

This version of the ship will be free, but a C-Store Version will appear as it did for the Borq.

It'll have different pets then stalkers, Fang fighters/frigates or what ever.

It will be differant from the Atrox, probably more tactical, maybe kind of like the love child of the Atrox and Kar'fi.

C-Store version will have different layout and a console that can buff pets, which will boost sales to other players who love carriers as well.

Just a guess.

and while the C-store variant will have a console that buffs pets there will be lock boxes that give the feds the plasmonic Leech

The season 8 KDF ship will most likely be some counter to the Vesta pack, similar to the Oddysey/Bortasqa juxtapositioned ship packs.

Anniversary ships will most likely be a single ship that is counter to something the federation side has received.

A Klingon version of the Ambassador would be a mistake, Fed Pure Cruiser type ships aren't popular amoung KDF players, they prefer Battle Cruisers and Flight Deck Cruisers.

Although to be fair the Federation Players have been asking for a Flight Deck Cruiser of thier own, the Ambassdor Class could have been refitted to fit this role. Maybe the Klingons will be getting a Flight Deck Cruiser as well or perhaps a Escort Carrier for the Klingons would balance things better.

I've read multiple requists for a Ferasan Escort Carrier.

There's no doubt that it will be a New Design...

BranFlakes has posted as such, a couple of times already.

Considering the fact that the K'Vort was basically an oversized B'Rel, introducing it into the game would be kind of confusing. I wouldn't be surprised if Cryptic just made something of a K'Vort refit, that has the Yesterday's Enterprise's KDF ship silhouette, but the overall design is brand new for the game (like what they're supposedly doing with Andorian ship).

In any case, it's gonna be a battlecruiser - less HP than Ambassador, but with cloak and dual cannons.

Ah, well...another to tack on the list of "Ships I won't spend money on."

seriously, we have QUITE a sufficient number of Cruisers relative to other classes. almost it makes me wonder if the Devs just can't remember how to code anything BUT "yet another cruiser"-at least, for ships that can cloak, or maybe just wonder if this is another "beads, whiskey, and polio Blankets" clone-the-fed-content half-assing.
