Still unable to claim Dyson Science Destroyer (for Admiralty)

I know this is a 'known' bug but have yet to see any info on a workaround or dev acknowledgement that they're working on the issue.

Situation: Completed the Dyson project on one (KDF, Nausicaan) captain. Filled project but did not claim at that time because limited space.
For admiralty, logged in that character, claimed the ship, upgraded to T5-U. Checked other characters, was unable to claim the Dyson. Was recommended in zone chat that a zone change or relog might update it, tried both, still 'Claim' option greyed out.
Asked around in Zone again, was told that T5-U upgrade was an issue, and that if I discharged the ship on that captain I should be able to reclaim it as a straight T5, and then claim it on my other captains. (Yes, I should have done more research at this point)
Discharged the Dyson, now can't reclaim it on that captain, nor claim it on any other captain on the account.

Any info on workarounds or potential fixes in the works would be appreciated, it would be very handy for some of the Admiralty missions I am seeing.

    Sorry for the bump: I've asked around, and googled this, but have yet to find any indication if the bugged Event Store behaviour of the 2014 Anniversary Event DSD is 'a known issue', or 'we're working on it', or 'this is the way it's gonna stay, 2bad4u', or any other status.

    If anyone has an update, a link to a tweet or dev response or note in the patch notes, I would really appreciate some info on whether this issue is ever going to be addressed.

    Thanks for any info you have!

    (Note: I am referring to the way Event Rep store ships are supposed to be account unlocks once one character has them, and this is supposed to be a retroactive unlock for the account if one captain has completed the project. Some people have the unlock working, some do not.)

    Don't know if there is any intent for Cryptic to address this, sorry. What I can say is, my brothers account is a life sub. He completed the 2014 Anniversary Dyson on 2 characters. He has since been able to 'claim' the Dyson on all of his captains, even his new Delta Recruit (created well after the event). He says the Event Store box is greyed out even for him, after claiming. So he doesn't think he could 'reclaim' that ship any time if he dismissed it (which is how other event rep ships work, like C-Store ships).

    My account is non-sub, though I have bought some Zen for it. I completed and claimed the anniversary Dyson on one captain back during the event in 2014. None of my other captains are able to claim it.

    So it is 'possible' that it is a sub vs. non-sub thing, although there are plenty of other potential causes for the difference in claimability.
