With reference to the following news post here ->
https://arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/11138733-command-tier-6-ships-at-any-level%21
I have tried several times, both before the 23 May 2019 patch and after and I am still unable to claim any owned T6 ship on a newly created Discovery toon that has completed the tutorial (DSC Federation = “Reporting In"). When I try, I get the message that I "do not meet the requirements for this item." The item (in this case the item is the "Gagarin Class Miracle Worker Ship" - but this is true of all T6 ships I own) shows as being "available", but is greyed out.
After a Discovery toon has reached Earth Space Dock in the 25th Century, this no longer becomes a problem and T6 ships can be claimed. BUT this is counter to what was said in the news post.
I have tried asking for GM help on this matter. I have submitted bug reports. Various members of the player base have stated this is a deliberate restriction. Again, this is counter to the linked news post. It should be noted that it is possible to reclaim ships from the events tab of the Reputation Store. Just not ships from the C-store.
So basically my question is this: is this a bug? Or have they placed a restriction on DSC toons?

People ask how long have I been playing STO - well the answer is simple: I have been here since the beginning. I just haven't always had a lot to say.

Event ships, reclaimed from the Reputation Store, such as the T6 Vulcan T'Pau Scout Ship, and the T6 Vorgon Ytijara Dreadnought Cruiser can be claimed and used straight away.
Also weird that ships from the Rep Store work no problems, but not the C-Store. Clearly there is no restriction because of the era you're in - I was able to use the T6 Bajoran Interceptor in the Discovery era, and TOS era.
