Shouldn't the Enterprise E have shields?

So, yeah.
Waiting for the Borg to arrive in force after failing to get Kathy into place to use the pathogen, and while building up vast armadas, I noticed that the Enterprise E had popped into the Ship Designer... and to say that it is less than optimal is an understatement.

All 12 of its defence slots are hull plating, none are shields. It has 3 cloaking devices. It has the Stellaris-ported BS weapons instead of phasers (should be Obliterater Lance in the X slots, Siege in the L slots like the rest of my Sovereign class ships, not Matter Degraders in both), and lacks quantum torpedoes.

I correct these errors, save the design, make sure I uncheck "Auto Update" and say yes when it asks if I want to overwrite the existing design, then send the Enterprise to the nearest starbase to receive these updates. I click the Enterprise a minute or so after the update claims to be completed, and it has no shields again.
Perplexed, I bring up Starship Designer again, and there are now two designs for the Enterprise E - the one I set, and the shieldless garbage design is back and labelled "Auto".

I delete the design I disagree with, send the Enterprise to be updated, and wait a couple of minutes before checking whether it actually did as I told it this time.
It has no shields again, and the design I dislike has returned.

Repeat ad nauseum.


So, I have to wonder why this is happening.

Does the constant reversion mean we're not supposed to try to change how the Enterprise E is set up?
Is the glitch therefore the game showing the Enterprise E in the Starship Designer at all? Probably, as I don't recall ever seeing the Enterprise D in there.

Ditto this, having the exact same problem. Tried to make my own changes to the E in ship designer, also turning off auto updates, but every time a new ship tech is researched another version of it is added with no shields and ship degraders in almost every weapon slot. And that one replaces the actual ship.

Evidently we're not meant to edit the Enterprise (D or E) ... which means it showing up at all in the Starship Designer is the bug

if I used Enterprise timeline my Intrepid and Excelsior class along with Enterprise do not have shields even though installed
