Is Tactical Escort Refit an account wide unlock?

I've got four Fed characters, one of whom already has a Defiant refit from the old days, but I'd like my others, two of which haven't hit Vice Admiral yet, to have them, and I was wondering if I put up the Zen for it, would they all get it or is it per character only?

    If you buy it on the C-store then they are account unlocks. If you buy the fleet version then it is per character. How did you get it in the old days? It may already be unlocked for you.

    I got it via the token when you hit Vice Admiral, not via the C-Store, when it was a free ship. My other vice Admiral got an Intrepid that way.

    Thank you for answering my question.

    Those are character only, furthermore they do NOT count to get the discounts on fleet versions. :(

    On my Account I have purchased many ships from the C store and they are account wide. But some of my ships that I have purchased from the C Store that say they are accound wide are not. I have an ENG with the Galaxy-R a TAC with the TAC escort refit and a SCI with the Long Range Science vessel Refit but none of these are available on my other Toons.
    I beleive this may be a result of two possible things that I can think of. One: I went from Gold to Silver at the Free to play launch? or Two, I Purchased additional character slots from the C store and thos toons are ineligable maybe? I'm Not certain?
    If anyone has any suggetions or knowledge I'd love to know.

    Thanks very much

    If you buy a ship from the C-Store, it will unlock account-wide. You can even dismiss it as often as you want to and requisition a new one from the shipyard as often as you want to, on all your characters on that accout (well, KDF/Fed still applies).

    Before this game went F2P, players got a ship token when they hit VA/LG. This ship token allowed them to requisition one VA-level C-Store-ship for one time. After F2P, this token is no longer automatically rewarded on hitting VA/LG, it is now a veteran reward at 600 days.
    If you dismiss that ship, it's gone, and you can't requisition it again from the shipyard unless you go and purchase it as an unlock.
    As with all veteran rewards, it does not care about your current subscription status, you just need to have the 600 veteran days to get the token, even if you're silver.

    Fleet ships and lockbox ships are single character/single time-unlocks, too, and Fleet ships only get a discount on Fleet Modules if you purchase the base-ship in question as T5-C-Store-unlock, not if you got the ship via token.

    If you want to check if you bought the unlock or got the ship in question via token: simply go to the c-store. if you bought the ship, it will say "already owned". If you're not able to requisition such a ship, then ... that'd be indeed a bug.

    That should be the long-but-complete version.
