If you buy scandalously OBSCENE AMOUNTS of ZEN, (i.e., several THOUSAND DOLLARS worth), even though you are a relative newcomer to the program, would you be able to buy items that are 'beyond your paygrade'? In short could a leiutenant, buy a ship that's slotted for a captain, or above?

    No, you can't get ships above your rank.

    Comeon... It's not like you're gonna spend more time between ranks than 5 hours tops if you play the game.

    With the current setup, you can level your character from 0 to 50 in 22 hours.
    Don't look silly... Don't call it the "Z-Store/Zen Store"...
    Let me put the rumors to rest: it's definitely still the C-Store (Cryptic Store) It just takes ZEN.

    Ships are restricted to tiers which in turn have level requirements. You cannot fly an admiral level ship until you are the appropriate level.

    Additionally, even if you buy a ship, that doesn't automatically mean you'll be good at using it. I've put together ships for less than 200k EC(the ship itself included) that have blown away paid ships running full rep/fleet gear.

    Well, an account can buy c-store ships at any point, however you won't be able to use them until you meet the rank requirement.
