Krenim Science Vessel and Time for Tide only 1 can be equipped. I ran Time for tide many times in order to do a load out for the Krenim Science Vessel when I went to equip LOL found out only 1 beam array can be used and only 1 turret. and no cannons. What a rainbow ship this is going to be. Why did they do this.

Exactly, like "unify colors" for armor in other MMOs.
Just an FYI that every Anniversary ship has been free but usually very substandard as compared to the one they usually sell on a box or C-store (with exception to the Zombie ship- Samsar)
l don't know.
l really don't know what l'm about to say, except l have a feeling about it.
That l must repeat the words that come without my knowledge.'
I just want to check: You want us to be sympathetic that you didn't read the items at all before selecting them as rewards? 'Cause they say "max 1 per ship" pretty prominently on the tool tips I saw...
Snark there seems unnecesarry. Don't see anywhere they were asking for sympathy. Just the hope that some day they'll make these sets more complete.
The problems with this are:
The problem is that STO is one of THE WORST games to play space barbie with.
Just look at all the ground costumes and uniforms and even some hairstyles they refuse to add, sell, or release; many of them available in the Foundry for NPC customization with some of them looking sufficiently passable. Take a glance at the long-running uniform/costume request thread that just serves to contain all the requests for uniforms and attire that will never become available for one reason or another. And there's the fact that they still haven't unified and overhauled the costume color palette and added matte/reflective and hue/saturation options so that you can fully and properly match different uniform pieces together. About the only major change we've had was the improved body customization options.
And as for ships, they STILL haven't given us the option to unlock Reputation and mission-reward/crafting set/special skins the way we can unlock ground armor for customization after collecting all 3 or 4 parts and completing the costume unlock "quest". We STILL can't unlock the Iconian, Aegis, A.MACO, or Borg overlay (overlays being the shield skins that don't cover up any customized hull pattern) to place over a Dyson, Mirror, Tholian, or Jem'Hadar skins (skins that completely replace the regular hull skin and pattern). We can't even customize patterns over the shield skins that completely replace the default hull material. And on the topic of patterns, they finally overhauled the color palette so you could have neon-colored ships, but there hasn't been any new hull patterns added.
STO is the one of the most customization-unfriendly games as far as playing barbie dress-up goes, and is rather ironic as well, given that most of the game is spent on the ground viewing your character and their stiff movement. Now I'm not asking for Black Desert Online's level of character customization (their character creation is now a free download to play around with), nor even Blade and Soul's or Aion's, but at least a robust enough character creation system and costume variety would be nice, even if they have to sell it to us in bundles rather than separately (say 3 different costume sets for 1200 Zen, even if only one costume set is liked while the rest are just tagged to it to inflate the cost and make it "profitable"). Same goes for ship customization; if I have to pay 1200 Zen for classic and modern Mirror skins, or 1200 for 3 new hull pattern sets, so be it.

Not sure what you mean here. You can certainly equip all pertinent parts, to get the full set bonus.
I'm pretty confident even you can equip the full set (but I admit I haven't really tried that).
What they're asking for is the ability to equip a full build of these special weapons. For example, 6 of the chronometric polaron beam arrays on one ship. But since you can only equip one at a time, you can't do that.

Ah. I see. My bad.
Yes, that would be lovely!
While I also think that they should remove the "only one per ship" limitation on some weapons, I think that it should definitely remain on 360 beams. At least until beams and BFaW in general are brought back in line with other weapons. I could only imagine how OP a full 360 beam boat would be.

Or how many people would think it's cute to run a 360 rainbow boat in queued missions.
Why would it be OP? On a forward-arc based ship, with typically a few DBB's in fore, 2 Omni's and some sort of regular Rep beam in aft (for a full set), replacing all those with Omnis would only horribly gimp your ship, as Omni-beams aren't exactly the best in game. (Yeah, like I'm gonna give up my [CrtD]x3 [Pen], or [CrtD]x4 DBB's up for a few lame Omnis!) And a strafing pilot is generally already firing out of all his weps, most of the time.
I agree they should keep those limited to only 1, but primarily only because it looks silly otherwise.
