Ok I have bought a number of Ships from the Cstore, Galaxy X, Multi vector advanced escort. NX-01, Orbeth ect.
I think Cryptic should have two sets of ships, when they give us the option, A version of the ship that is account wide... and one that is solely for that toon.
For example I have a couple characters and at least one more to come who fly the Advanced Heavy Cruiser retrofit, but only one who flies the galaxy X. So far.
I think Cryptic should have the various C-store ships with two different payment options. A low cost version, that unlocks the ship for ONE of my Characters. At say a cost of 100 Cstore points for a tier 1 ship, 200, for a tier 2, 300 for a tier 3, 400 for a tier 4, and 450 for a tier 5, and 500 for a vice admiral ship. But this unlocks it ONLY for that Character.
On the other had if it is a ship we fly often say in my case the advanced Heavy cruiser retrofit, we could buy it account wide for Full price. 1200 c-store points.
The reason I was given (long ago) as to why there is no "per character" purchase option for ships is becuase of the scenario in which a player buys a ship for one character, deletes that character, then rages on cryptic for not comping him the ship back when he makes a new character. It's just easier for Cryptic to only offer an account wide option and never have to worry about dealing with "i need a refund/comp on my purchased ship becuase my uhh little brother deleted my character".

And those people knew full well that buying a ship in game versus with the CStore was character only. I'm really upset they didn't tell them to pound sand, and decided to force only CStore purchases instead. Yeesh. TRIBBLE everyone so you don't have to hear people who want to avoid the rules whine about said rules... -.-
EDIT: While it's most likely happened before for real, it's still not something I would change.
