Please remove the Krenim console requirement from the Flagships set bonus - stuck at 3/4

It seems most bizarre that you require a console from an unobtainable ship in order to unlock the 4-piece set bonus on the flagships set called 'Flagship Technologies'.

Very disheartening.
Fourth year actually, Dyson ships were the first to include a 4th equipment piece to a c-store 3-set.
Notable missions: Apex [AEI], Gemini [SSF], Trident [AEI], Evolution's Smile [SSF], Transcendence
Looking for something new to play? I've started building Foundry missions again in visual novel form!
They did put the event ships into the Phoenix Pack in December, but the odds were something crazy high like 1 in 500.
This. I find it unusual that you can't use the multi-mission consoles on the Lukari ship. Or the command consoles on the Samsar
This is coming from someone who has all the consoles, it's not about me being upset because I missed something. It's just an incredibly stupid system that is frankly disheartening and unfair to those that were away from the game during an event or those who are new to STO.
This system totally sucks and it needs to stop.
Either that or let people choose what event ship they want for the event. For example: Summer Event. Say someone didn't really care about this year's ship so instead opted to unlock the Risian Corvette instead. They still only get 1 new ship from the event, they just choose which one.
I know they won't change it, but I still think it's a bad idea.
You're wrong (and right).
The DSD was the first ship with a secondary deflector, the other deflectors were rolled out a while after it once some "live-testing" was done by the players.
See: http://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/9062633-secondary-deflectors
Surely the ship itself is the exclusive part ? as once the promotion/event ends, then sorry you missed it. Most people can live with that. I know I can.
But locking Console set bonuses behind this train of thought def feels like a brain TRIBBLE moment. It may even put some people off purchasing the C-Store ships with the knowledge they can't complete the console set.
Place these consoles in the Lobi or better yet Dil store please
Hello rubber banding my old friend, time to bounce around the battlezone again, where are all my bug reports going?, out of love with this game I am falling, As Cryptic fail to acknowledge a problem exists, Shakes an angry fist, And from Support all I'm hearing are the sounds of silence.

I'd support an account wide console unlock in the lobi store. No ship for you, but lets you play those sets in peace on all your characters.

I speculate their model is primarily set up to encourage players to participate, and as incentive to buy ship packs as opposed to individual ships because of set bonuses. The problem is, many if not the majority of ship consoles limit a ship's real potential, and those ready to gamble away phoenix boxes for the ships would presumably already have disposable resources that would be used to acquire proper lobi/lockbox/rep/crafted/fleet gear instead.
One instance I can think of ship console set bonuses being useful is on alts who don't have proper gear, or when one wants to just role-play with more fun clickies, in which case being character bound from phoenix boxes totally nullifies incentive in the former scenario.
I definitely agree with this. Even if they keep it as it is, phoenix box, acquiring any ship there should at least make its console(s) account-wide reclaimable even if the ship itself follows the lockbox/lobi bound to character model.
I know several people in my fleet, were going to purchase the sets in the c store but when they found out they had no way of finishing the sets, they changed there mind real fast.There have been posts in here from people who had bought the sets then looked for ways to finish it and they started raging about it.
If you want the ships exclusive then fine, set it so people who have the ships get the console for free, and add the console to the event store or Dill store, or Lobi store. Heck even add it to the GPL store and give Latinium a use at the same time.

3 sets that require purchasing of numerous ships from the c-store (over 10k zen)
1 set that requires the 2015 anniversary kobali ship that consoles have yet to get the chance to do.
the anniversary krenim ship will finally allow me to complete the chronometric calculations mission set as it requires the krenim torpedo launcher, but tying all these universal consoles to unobtainable ships forcing players to wait until cryptic decides to release them or requiring players to gouge their wallets to obtain is insane and unfair.

This is the exact situation I found myself in. No information was given on the Zstore about it either.
Agreed. I almost feel bad for having bought the t6 scimi bundle when it came out, as I wasn't aware there was a fourth piece, and neither was I around during the Krenim ship event (I was busy with something else). I hope they change this... make the console available in the c-store somehow or include the fourth piece in the bundle or just revise the set to 3 pieces only.

Show to who?! I always wondered, LOL. Is this like Geko 'forcing' you to play that highly annoying middle DR mission (lest you can't progress), just so he can pat himself on the back and think ppl are really into DR!? I mean, who are they trying to fool here? Themselves?! Their Chinese Overlords? I never understood this. It would be one thing if they actually published those metrics (as then we'd be the ones they're trying to dub), but they're not even doing that. So, they're basically just showing themselves.
