Dominion Console set in Victory is Life

I am wanting to use the Dominion console set when I purchase my Gamma Vanguard bundle, but there is one thing concerning me, that the Console - Universal - Dominion Defense Screen most likely will not be available, as it is only obtained from a T6 Bugship.
I think the other two parts of the set will be available though, that is why this is of concern to me.
Would it be possible for Cryptic to offer the Console - Universal - Dominion Defense Screen as an independent item from the T6 Bugship for the purposes of completing the console set?
So all the powers and bonuses are accessible instead of being restricted by a console that isn't obtainable.
For me personally, this issue is the only major disappointment I have concerning the Victory is Life release.
And please keep the topic civil/polite when responding.

Get a T6 bugship.
and I'm not gonna lie I'm probably not gonna get any more jem'hader stuff. the big pack has basically everything I need for mine.
if I stop posting it doesn't make you right it. just means I don't have enough rum to continue interacting with you.
I was told a T6 Bugship costs 200 USD to obtain.
There is a point where common sense overrides need/want and I've reached it.
Be honest, would you pay 264 AUD/200 USD for a ship console?
From my perspective, the ship is unimportant, since I plan to use a Dominion Dreadnaught instead.
As soon as I extract the console, it'll be sent to Drydock and it's only practical use will be for Admiralty.
It's also incomprehensible to me the sales logic here, a guaranteed item will sell more then a random prize pack with an inestimastally small chance of receiving the item.
Cryptic may be making money from one group, but losing it from another.

Well technically... PWE doesn't sell the T6 bug ship at all. your buying from 3rd parties. they sell you a CHANCE to get one from one of their gamble boxes.
It doesn't have to make logical or mathematical sense. You just have to live with the reality of the situation.
Is that Console set supposed to be hard to obtain?
I have it:
Starfleet Assault Cruiser Technology console set.
Command Assault Cruiser (ordered from my comics retailer): 30 AUD.
Intel Assault Cruiser: 40 AUD in C-Store
Assault Cruiser Refit: 33 AUD, also C-Store.
Total Cost: 103 AUD.
And for that expenditure, I got three ship account unlocks I can use on any Starfleet character.
Therefore, the comparison is not comprehensible to me, why compare a readily available set to one that requires a component expensive to acquire?

A ship tied to a limited-production model built in such numbers that only a minority of very lucky players even have a chance of getting it (with a price that can even go into the hundreds). We may have gotten lucky (you in a store, me on eBay for £35), but it was set up in such a way that the majority of players will never have the opportunity. And that's just the PC players; it's not even available for console at all (or the Intel one, for that matter).
Compare that to a ship that pretty much anyone can aquire in-game by just browsing the exchange or opening R&D Packs during the promotional period.
So, yeah; the Sovereign Set is basically borderline-impossible to complete, while the Dominion one can be done with by grinding EC.
I don't think there was any other T5 Ship in the game that did not have a Console (Fleet Ships excluded as that's the way they roll).
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.'
However, from reviewing the recent announcement, it looks like these ships are not providing the set I was expecting, but an all new console set instead.
I assume it is a set, the update didn't mention if the new Dominion console set actually had bonuses for equipping all of them on one ship or not.
So it looks like if I want the original console set I was after, I have to get the other ships anyway, regardless of the fact I already own better versions from the Gamma Vanguard bundle.
I guess I know where my lifetime stipend is going for the next 10 years, on metric tonnes of lockbox keys.

Thanks for explaining why that set is so hard to obtain.
I see the item on Amazon for $50 and it is also on eBay for $40.
So I assume if anyone is seeking it, they should get it now.
Speaking from personal experience, the rarer this real world item gets, the more the price fixers will charge for it, there might come a time when they're asking $500 dollars for it!!!!!

Tellarites do have a space ship now.
