I am playing STO on PS4, and I have a question (most probably stupid one). If I buy a set of ships from C-store to one of my characters, are they only on that character, or do I get them on other characters too?
Assuming it's the same 'over there', a C-store ship should unlock for all characters of the same faction, as soon as they are high enough in level to actually use it.
If its a c-store ship or bundle, its account unlock.
It is however faction specific.
For example, only Feds can use Fed ships, Only KDF's can use KDF ships, and only Roms can use Rom ships.
They are available to all characters you make, that are affiliated to that specific faction ie. Federation, KDF and Romulan. The exception is Roms have access to the alliance they join up to T4 Ships as well as their own.
Ships from Rank-Up's, Dil Purchases, Lockboxes and Lobi purchases are not included in this though. They are character only and cannot be reclaimed if dismissed.

It's actually a particularly astute question, becuase Fleet Ships (which are just slightly better variations of C-Store ships) and ships bought from the Lobi Crystal Consortium aren't account unlocks. In fact, when any ships from either of those categories is dismissed, it's gone for good.
