Archon/T6 Sovereign Class Tailor bug

bjornfriedbjornfried Member Posts: 401 Arc User
I cant turn my Archon Class in to the good old Sovereign Class.
It doesn't matter which parts i apply .
The tailor saves the design, but i get the "Invalid parts" message.
Which isn't true because i don't use any parts that would cost me Zen. Even a fully stock design gets the same error.
I don't know if it was that overpriced legendary bundle from you, or what.
I can't modify my Zen store ship, which makes me of course a tad angry.
For i don't like the archon design i only want the Canonical ship.
Shame, I had such a great name for her...

    You need to have actually purchase or earned the other sovvy's to gain access to their parts. The Archon does not grant access to the original Sovvy parts.

    Actually, it's supposed to.

    The way it's supposed to work is that the base Sovereign skin should be included with any Sovereign variant. So if you only own the T6 Archon, you should be able to use the base Sovvy skin for free without owning anything else. The Majestic and Noble should also be unlocked. The only skins you have to buy are the Regent, Archon, Vizier, Legendary and the Imperial from the Fleet Version.

    Question for the OP: Do you own any other Sovereign variant? I am thinking what happened is that this free skin is probably an actual unlock that you missed somewhere. Did you take the Sovereign as your free ship at T4? If not, you might be able to unlock the skin by buying the cheap-o T4 Sovvy from the Ship Vendor.

    I am in a similar boat, I own the Archon, but I do not own any other C-Store Sovereign and it works perfectly for me. I have access to the Base Skin as well as the Majestic and the Noble. You absolutely should have the base skin, so something is buggy.

    You might also want to calm down and try and step through it rationally.. the all caps rants isn't going to help anyone.

    I tested on my Jem'Hadar that doesn't have even the T4 and he can still use the Base Skin on the Archon. The 'invalid parts' error leads me to believe that it's something you're using that's not compatible with the parts you selected. Try changing the Material Type and if that doesn't work, change the Windows. Something you're selecting isn't working with another part you have.. 'Invalid Parts' doesn't mean you don't have access to the skin it's trying to use incompatible parts.

    I am not sure what to tell you, I have tried to re-create this bug on several of my characters and can't do it.

    It works fine for me, can you post a screenshot or video so we can see what's happening?

    Ok, well good luck with it then. I hope you get it figured out.

    Try to reset or hit randomize in the tailor, sometimes that fixes it for me, or put it in drydock and reclaim it again, that should fix it also

    I had what I think is a similar problem on my Kor BOP the other day. I reclaimed it to give it another try and started modifying it in the tailor. For some reason it kept asking me to spend zen to unlock a part in the tailor that was explicitly from the Kor, according to the menu. It was the cannons, which I think is called nacelles on that ship. However on close inspection I noticed the model was showing different cannons on either wing when they should be identical. I ended up using the full costume buttons on the far left to select the Kor and modified individual from there. It gave me the proper cannons that way, and I picked through the rest of the bits I owned with no more problems.

    What I think is that the tailor may be bugged for some designs, where the dropdown parts menu is not properly giving you the parts that are from that design. It does actually want you to spend zen to unlock it because you don't have that part, but that part you think you're selecting from a ship you own isn't actually the part you think you own.

    So, basically for your Sovereign, you may think you're using parts for the standard Sov from the dropdown, but the game is instead selecting something from say the Vizier and telling you to pay for it because you don't own the Vizier.

    Try to figure out precisely which part is broken, by changing your selection, which you'll know when the game doesn't want you to pay zen for it anymore. If it is a sovereign standard piece you want, you should be able to use the full sovereign costume button on the side and swap parts out from there and avoid changing the problem piece.

    Every time I have had an issue like this, the problem has been the Windows I picked. Some Window Templates are incompatible with certain parts on a few ships and cause this issue. I could not however, re-create this issue with the Sovereign, no combination I tried caused 'Invalid Parts' but the OP says he gets it on every combination he tries.

    Without some type of video or screenshot, the issue cannot be addressed, but it's effecting him alone.
