Random dropped kits require wrong rank

While blasting through Nimbus last night, I received several Mk V and Mk VI kits and modules.

To my dismay, I couldn't equip the Mk VI kits or modules, because both of them listed "Captain" as the required rank.

Last I heard, Mk VI was usable by Commanders/Subcommanders and Mk VII/VIII were the ones that required Captain/[Rom]Commander.

I've also seen this with random Mk X kits and modules dropped in the FE and endgame content (mostly STFs and rep grind stuff). Mk X is requiring RAUH/Subadmiral II instead of RALH/Subadmiral I.

I've also seen some Mk XII stuff (again, just kits and modules) requiring Vice Admiral/[Rom]Admiral instead of RAUH/Subadmiral II. Not sure if it's all of those or just some.

Sounds like a requirements pass needs to be made on all of the new kits/modules. :)

FWIW, old kits are unaffected by this.

Noted on both Fed and Rom characters; haven't played KDF enough lately to notice. This applies to both random drops and mission rewards. Sorry for misleading title.

    Is it the Mark number that's wrong (a la tons of random items like personal shields and ship shields, that have been broken forever), or is it the rank required?

    The Mk V and Mk VI kits I got both had the same number of slots IIRC, as did the Mk XI and XII I saw, but required different ranks.

    If there are some supposed "Mk VI" kits that are actually Mk VII pieces mislabeled, that might explain it, but why would those be dropping for a Commander/Subcommander?

    I have now played all the way up on a new Fed character and can verify that the issue occurs with all even-numbered Mk kits and modules.

    Mk II, IV, VI, VIII, X, and XII are all affected.

    That, the crappy rate of module drops, and the inability to purchase most modules on vendors, is hampering the new kit adoption rate among sub-VA characters and driving up the price of the remaining old-style kits on the Exchange.

    Please fix, guys.

    I can verify this and it's not just the drops, it's all kits that I have encountered, including the episode rewards. Posted about it here http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=1103091

    Did you put in a ticket or a bug report on it?
