Terran Lexington missing skin option.

The Terran Lexington is missing the option for the regular Yorktown hull skin. It has all the parts except the hull. It even has the Terran version of the hull, which points to me that it is a bug or someone forgot to include the normal Yorktown hull skin for that ship.

Nope, the regular Yorktown Saucer, Nacelles and Hull are not available. If you want to be able to use all the regular Yorktown skin parts, then you'll need to buy the Yorktown!

The only Yorktown part that I need to pay zen to unlock is the hull. This makes no sense as I have every other part unlocked.
Ships are allocated their skins on an individual basis, and you must purchase other variants before you can use their skins. Hand-wavy logic isn't going to get Cryptic to give you the skins for a C-Store/Fleet Store ship for free.
I've looked into this again and I have indeed made some errors. My mistake here was comparing Mirror Yorktown and regular Yorktown. I should have been comparing the Federation Yorktown and Federation Lexington.
The Terran Lexington is an update to the Terran Yorktown, which is why all those skin options are available. The only difference is the weapon pod attached to the Hull.
The same is true of the Federation versions. The Lexington is made up of the Yorktown saucer, nacelles and pylons but uses the Lexington version of the hull.
If you apply the Lexington template to the ship, you'll be able to see this.
The Lexington uses the Hull with the weapon pod attached, but the Yorktown doesn't.
This is why you cannot use the Yorktown Hull - you haven't purchased the Yorktown.
You own the Lexington, whish uses the Yorktown saucer, nacelles and pylons but not the Yorktown Hull.
