If Methamorphosis is an exploration ship why can't I access abyssal event?

Trying to filament into a hacking site (Ruined Electrical Filament) while in a Metamorphosis and get the message “The filament is not compatible with current ship”. I successfully got in with a Cheetah and a Pacifier, which are not even straight exploration ships. How come?

Sounds like a bug.

Looking at the description I see

This Abyssal Filament will pull a single Exploration or Covert Ops Frigate into a pocket of Abyssal …

Which explains why T1 exploration frigates and also Cheetahs and Pacifiers as Covert Ops frigates can enter.

I guess the Metamorphosis is not properly coded as exploration frigate yet, or not properly added to the list that was used here. The Metamorphosis is a rather new frigate and also an odd one (SoCT reward, rather than one built by one of the main factions).

Solution:
File a bug report and wait for it to be fixed. In the mean time, use a different ship to enter these sites.

edit: I was wrong. Thought the Metamorphosis was a Destroyer.

The SoCT’s Metamorphosis-class exploration frigate shares the same basic hull profile as the stripped down Apotheosis-class shuttle. The Metamorphosis is a far more capable vessel, fully able to operate as scouting and surveying vessel in the depths of unknown space. While the vessel has some combat capability for defensive purposes in potentially dangerous territory, it is more suited to its intended exploration, hacking, and archaeological surveying purpose.

In typical SoCT fashion, the Metamorphosis has a balanced module fitting layout and is capable of using a wide variety of weapons and equipment for its class. While by no means as potent as the Gnosis- and Praxis-class vessels, this handy little frigate is a remarkable transformation of the hull it is based on into an agile and swift option for explorers.

From the ship description. So probably just an oversight.
