Unable to equip crafted Mk XII items

Specifics:
  • Omni-Directional Plasma Beam Array Mk XII [Acc] [Arc] [Dmg]
  • Console - Science - Exotic Particle Field Exciter Mk XII
  • Console - Engineering - Conductive RCS Accelerator Mk XII
Current character level is 45 (Subadmiral II, female Liberated Borg Romulan KDF-aligned). Tooltips for each item state item can be equipped at current level/rank. Double-clicking items results in
You cannot equip that item.
message. Drag-and-drop with Bind Item confirmation results in
You do not meet the requirements for this item.
message. I have other Mk XII gear equipped on same character. Only these 3 items cannot be equipped and all are crafted. Have tried to equip both on ground and in space, no success.
I know this bug has already been addressed before by others and, obviously, has not been fixed to date.

    I think the premium crafting items are supposed to be lvl 50 and up. They should correct the tooltips accordingly. Or can you equip a hyper-capacity shield or wide-arc DHC at your current level?​​

    After 3 different items not working according to tooltip, I'm disinclined to get more just to try. This issue's apparently existed for months at the minimum according to forum search. You'd think if it was something as simple as a tooltip fix it would be done by now...wait, it's Cryptic, nevermind.

    Despite the listed level requirement, those items are only able to be used by VA50+.

    I reported this exact bug back in May. http://forum.arcgames.com/startrekonline/discussion/1187328/special-crafted-items-show-wrong-rank-required-in-tooltip

    It indicates you can equip them at level 45 but actually requires level 50, thus showing the wrong rank required to equip them.

    Trendy and 2 bug hunters show up, don't add anything to the discussion, or even acknowledge the issue. Thanks guys.

    Anywho, I'm guessing these special crafted items were intended to be equipped on level 50+ characters so it's probably just a display issue in the tooltip and item information showing the incorrect rank required.

    There seems to be a wider issue with ranks shown vs rank equipped, it's going to take a while to work it all out as I'll need to borrow a friends character who's levelling.

    P.s. No idea what the joke is with the others so don't ask me! :neutral:

    I no longer do any Bug Hunting work for Cryptic. I may resume if a serious attempt to fix the game is made.
