Missing Columbia Skin

I purchased the Columbia skin via the acquire ship vendor in ESD for 500 zen. I received the NX ship however, I cannot view/select the Columbia skin. The vendor shows that I have purchased it, but the only template I see via the customize ship vendor is the NX. None of the other customization options show any Columbia or NX refit options. However, I do see some NX refit options when customizing ships other than the NX.

    Unfortunatly, you did not but the Columbia skin for the NX. For 500 zen only gets you the t1 version of the NX. To get the Columbia skin you have to had purchased one of the 10th Anniversary Legendary Starship Bundles when it was available. The bundles were available from 13 February 2020 to 9 March 2020 on PC.

    Does the acquire ship vendor not work like most vendors in most games. I select the option I want, it shows a price and you click purchase. After which, the store does not give the option to purchase again and shows the item as if you have purchased it?

    It showed the Columbia skin as a purchasable 500 zen item via the acquire ship vendor. This was after the bundle was already well over. The NX ship itself has a different price from the Columbia skin and I believe it was Dilithium at the time, not zen.

    Unfortunatly, there is no option to just purchase the Columbia skin, it has to be purchased as part of the 10th Anniversary Legendary Starship Bundles.

    When you go to the ship vendor and preview the ships, sometimes you are allowed to preview the various skins that could be used on the ship, but does not actually have a way of getting the skin unless it is one of the ones actually unlocked by that ship.

    For example, the above links shows the various versions of the NX. The NX Light Escort only has access to the default NX skin. The NX Escort Refit only has access to the Refit skin by default. If you own both the Light Escort and the Escort Refit, then both of those ships has access to both skins, but not the Columbia skin. The Columbia skin can only be unlocked if you have purchase the Columbia Legendary Temporal Operative Escort via the 10th Anniversary Legendary Starship Bundles. Of course the Columbia Legendary Temporal Operative Escort also has access the the other two skins, but that is by design as one of the incentives for people to buy one of the 10th Anniversary Legendary Starship Bundles.
