I have 8 ships and when i try to buy more slots, i'm not able too...is there a way to get rid of the old ships i don't use anymore to make room for more?
sure!
in the ship selector menu, highlight the one you want to get rid of. In the lower section of the window you should see a button called discharge.
Click that and itll pop up a 'are you sure you want to do this, if so retype the ships name' window
Type in the full name u.s.s. shipnamehere and click ok, and you have a freed up slot
IMPORTANT: Make sure you salvage anything you want off the ship, because deleting it also deletes any equipment on board at the time, so if you want those consoles and weapons, rip em out first
And if the ship was bought via Lobi, Dilithium, Energy Credits, Fleet Modules or a level up token, you will have to repurchase it. Ships from the Zen-Store however can be reclaimed.
Unless you feel nostalgic for it, you can probably get rid of all ships that are not Tier 5 and you got via levelling. Just remember to take off any gear (especially consoles) before dismissing the ship.

awesome...thanks for the help, also how many ships can you have at once anyways? like i said, i have 8 and when i try to get one thats free it tells me it can't process it .

This brings up something that has always bugged me:
Why can't Lobi or lock box ships be reclaimed if you discharge them? It seems to me that once you open/unpack a lobi or lock box ship then that ship should be "unlocked" for that character and you should be able to discharge and reclaim it if you are running low on ship slots.
It gets back to the idea of "punishing" people who buy Lobi/lock box ships ... "Congratulations on your new ship! Now you have to buy more ship slots or delete one of your ships if you want to use this new ship! Oh, and if you delete a 'special' ship you'll just have to buy it again. Thanks for playing!"
In the immortal words of Captain Sisko: "It may not be what you believe, but that doesn't make it wrong."
Don't believe the lies in this forum. I am NOT an ARC user. I play STO on Steam or not at all.
I always wondered about that as well. Especially when Lobi ships and Lockbox ships (well 99% of the time) take an investment far more than your typical C-store ship. So there should be something (even at a small cost) that would allow you to rebox the ship.
Yeah, it really should be made possible to reclaim ships once they have been purchased. Everything is already there for it. The game can already remermber clothing unlocks (you dont have to wear an outfit to keep it). And shipyard can already let you reclaim c-store ships.
Well also to tie into this, why is it if a ship comes with a console that is a C-store ship, why can you not reclaim the console alone like certain consoles that we get for events? For example the puple Mk XII warp drive you can reclaim over and over again if you got the dyson destroyer. but to get say the console you get from the Oberth, I have to CONSTANTLY reclaim that ship to get said console.
Why can't we just reclaim the consoles?

To me it sounds like you have a bug so try filing a ticket and see what happens.
