    If it is like the Hephestus I bought, you go to a starbase, to the shipyard. Then go to the customization console and choose those skins for the nacelles, saucer, etc.

    Go to the shipyard to edit your ship. The options will show under the Advanced window in the dropdown boxes.

    The Maelstrom is a T5 Dervish Escort variant. You need to have earned the T5 Dervish - IE, you need to be an Admiral and taken the Dervish Escort- to use it. If you already have a T5 Dervish you go to the Shipyard to the Customize your Ship person and change the skin of the Dervish to the Maelstrom via the Advance Customization tab.

    and its going to cost you like 50K to apply. UNLESS you open the "customize ship" window, cancel/close it and reopen, then it will only cost you 800 ec to just open the window.....nice system huh?

    I've never had that problem. In fact, when I apply a ship-skin I purchased I've always gotten to change it for free, and that's 3 ships so far for me.

    when you reach Rear Admiral 5 ( level 45 ) and are flying a fleet escort ship, you will then be allowed to apply this skin to that shop as a variant.

    Actually you only need to be RA1 and have access to the T5 ship.

    He is right. Once you hit RA1, you have access to all T5 ships.

    Its happened to me on the assault crusier skin, the advanced escort skin, the Nimbus skin, and the Fleet escort skin.

    When you 1st have your plain-jane ship and hit the "customize" button your plain ship shows up in the window, you hit the "advanced" button and start changing parts to the C-store skin and I watch the $$ cost increase, and with the new escort it was something like $52k.

    But.......if you just open the window and then hit "cancel", then reopen, you will see (at least I see this everytime I want to make a change) 800 ec cost just to open the window, and now you can apply your new skin (parts) for free, other than the 800 ec charge. Been that way on my end since they started adding ship skins to the game. I didnt figure out the close the window thing till after I applied the assault cruiser skin and was messing around with the Advanced, the dog needed attention so I closed the window, took care of the dog, came back re-opened the window and I could apply the advanced skin for nothing more than the 800 base fee to open the window.

    Bugged it back then, its still there and no ticket update so I assume its working as intended.

    Shrugs.............

    Yes, the Dervish is the Fleet Escort group. If your RA5 is currently flying a Dervish, Gryphon, or Hermes Escort you can just change the skin in the Shipyard as stated above. If your RA5 is flying one of the other Escorts, or a different Class of ship entirely, you'd need to go and spend Energy Credits to get your Admiral a Fleet Escort. Then you can change the skin to the Maelstrom.
