I bought the ship yesterday from the C-Store, I find it a fun ship to mess around with but there are a few issues...

Skinning of the Ship
A fleetmate reported that he could not change the skin type as he wanted to change the overall color of the ship, I didn't have any issues but as he reported it I am putting it here. Other users are having the same issues with this. Also it seems removing the third nacelle reverts the ship to a standard galaxy skin and once saved will not allow you to re-add the third nacelle, it also mucks up lighting with 2 points of red light floating behind the ship.

Additionally there appears to be issues with removing the third nacelle and having 2 red glowing dots trail the ship down and to the side, also in combat beams come out of the glowing dots as well.

Paint Patterns
As another thread states the patterns tend to be a little skewed with the saucer section on the top and I would add that it seems the devs are lazy on the third nacelle as well that it seems to just be a copy and past for any pattern and the little blinky green light from the starboard nacelle to it.

Ships Name and Registry
The name of my ship is the USS Tribbles Fear, the U and the R are partly cut off on the top of the saucer and it looks like there are little bits of letters to the side of them as well. also the dorsal side of the saucer the phaser lance is obscuring part of the registry number.

item equipping
I got a blue Plasma Dual Heavy Cannons as a drop from a mission... I though great I can us it in place of the green Plasma Dual Heavy Cannons that I currently have on it... no dice as the system says that it can not be equipped.... ah.... if I can equip a green why not a blue? and one of my fleetmates was complaining that he couldn't equip his purple Anti-Proton Dual Heavy Cannons only his Purple Anti-Proton Dual Cannons. it also seems to be randomly allowing different energy types to be equipped over other types and different raritys. a purple phaser DHC can be equipped but not a plasma.

Devs please look in to these issues and anyone else have any issues they have seen with this ship please add to this.

I also have two Dual Heavy Plasma Cannons that can not be used on the Galaxy X. I have not problem outfitting any other (did not tryantiproton) . Why the issue?

Check for it in your inventory. then right click and select equip. Then go to to ship yard and set it as the ship to use.

Make sure you don't already have 8 ships in your inventory at space dock (dumb system wont tell you that you don't have enough garage space), RA gets a max of 8 ships they can have at any given time, if you do have 8 then just decommission one that you don't want any more then right click the little starfleet badge in your inventory and select equip, it will disappear and then you will see it available to set as current at space dock, for skins its a little more awkward, you need to have the ship you bought the skin for, set it as current and then go to a ship tailor and bump out the advanced tab, then on that tab you will see options for saucer, hull, nacelle, and struts and the like, click the drop down and you will have all stock options AND the skin options you bought... unfortunately they didn't include a button to select just the skin you bought to be applied you have to select each ship bit at a time.

I TOO have this Problem, but with purple Mk x PVP plasma Cannons, the ship will take the greens, no blues and no purples, on any other energy type (i only tested phasers and antiproton since i had those readily availible in the bank) was i able to equip purple cannons to the ship. I would have hoped also on the ocnsoles that it would at least match the AsSlt cruiser.. oh well i just need this weapon system feature fix, also saw the problem on my G-X with the scrip for the thrid nacelle in the ship customization window. also wouldn't allow me to deviate from the type 1 or type 2 matiral settings. i spent alot of RL money on this and Badges and respec points jsut to use it with phasers, i'd like it either fixed or major compensation.... Please, i've already sub'ed tickets on this. no reply's yet

Also, if you remove the 3rd nacelle (Middle one) It removes the spinal lance and also cannot re-add it after you remove it. I can confirm the material type changes, stuck with type 2. Then also when you remove the nacelle, you lose the ability to chose the window types.

I'll also confirm that you can't change the skin material from type 2 (which is a shame, type 4 looks nasty).

Not sure if it's a bug, but the BoFF's are cross between a T4 and a T5 ship. Engineering wise you can have a Commander and a Lt Commander, but for Tac and Sci you're limited to just Lieutennant. I know we can't have every thing, but can we change the Lt Commander to be neutral, e.i. any BoFF type can be placed in it and work? I'd gladly give up some engineering skills for one of my Tac chars tactical BoFF's powers on this beast.

As far as I know the ship is only avalible to those who are ranked at RA5 or higer, if you not there yet then wait till you are... IF you are then its a legitimate bug and should be logged as such in the bug reporting menu in game and I will add it here as well.

it is a sad excuse for a ship....the hull seems like it is a tier 4 cruiser.
