Gagarin-class 'Battlecrusier' issue

I have a question for the dev team.
I recently picked up the Federation Gagarin-class battlecruiser. It does everything as advertised, however there is one nit-picky problem I ran across... it is unable to mount the cloaking device console, despite the console saying it will equip to battlecruisers.
So I guess my question is this: Is the Gagarin a true battlecruiser, or does the designation need to be changed to "engineering cruiser"?
(or is the console problem simply an oversight?)

The answer is: Nope, working as intended, no cloak for you.
They really should update the text on it, as both the "Battle Cruiser" and the "Dreadnought Cruiser" labels are no longer unique to the ships they actually mean.
For future reference, the cloaking console will fit on all versions of the Defiant, the Galaxy-X and the Avenger.
One is a Battlecruiser, the other is a Miracle Worker Battlecruser. Thus technically speaking two different animals. The wording for the console is basically absolute literal. Unless it says Battlecruiser and ONLY Battlecruiser, no cloak. As the Gagarin has the added on Miracle Worker... it is disqualified.

A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"
"It's nothing personal, I just don't feel like I've gotten to know a person until I've sniffed their crotch."
"We said 'no' to Mr. Curiosity. We're not home. Curiosity is not welcome, it is not to be invited in. Curiosity...is bad. It gets you in trouble, it gets you killed, and more importantly...it makes you poor!"
Agreed, and this issue pops up all the time with 'Battlecruisers' and 'Dreadnoughts.'
This one is certainly not on the OP, the naming conventions in this game are a mess. Bottom line though, OP.. you can't use that console on the Gagarin because it's a Miracle Worker Battlecruiser, and not just a regular Battlecruiser. That refers to the Arbiter and Avenger class ships. You also can't use it on something like the Presidio because that's a 'Command Battlecruiser.'
That's been effectively fixed, as the Jem'Hadar ship consoles can now be used on any ship, Dominion or not.

Same here. Particularly enjoy the Regent skin but discovered it won't unlock unless owning the Regent too, so all those requirements for a ship that has nothing but a cool appearance isn't worth it.
