It gets a bit old juggling available ship slots, dry dock and then having to discharge ships after claiming them from the event tab or c-store, just to build up your admiralty deck on an alt etc.
Oh, btw it's not cool that alts that aren't the same faction as your main character have to buy the same ships again just to claim the admiralty cards. If there's any way the above could be implemented, it would an alt-friendly idea to allow reclaim of the admiralty card for the equivalent kdf/rom ships, where an equivalent ship exists.

What ships did you have to re-buy? C-Store ships are all account unlocks.

This. My FedRom had no problems claiming c-store Fed ships they were allowed to have.
Though Klingons can't buy any Fed ships at all.
Also, it's not that much trouble to claim/dismiss ships. Yes, it could take time, depending on the number of ships I can claim at one time. Especially through the rep reclaim store.
Still, it's time well spent.
This sounds like the posters who don't want to do Flying High in order to claim their Event ship.

Exactly. The Admiralty Cards, not the ships. This wouldn't apply to Lock Box, Lobi, or Dilithium ships, just C-Store ships. It might actually encourage more cross Faction sales.

Really, it is a pain when you get a new alt leveled to then have to claim & then dismiss every ship you've bought over the years just to get the cards.
I cannot support a change to the system at this time.

The account unlock should be ok but it needs to be restricted by faction... roms can claim their factions T1 to T4 ships, but nothing higher since that's how it is in game.
By the time you have access to Admiralty, storyline-wise, we're all in the Alliance together. Giving orders to other Faction ships is not beyond reason in a joint operations environment.

Except I want to claim the ships, too. Not just admiralty card.
And clothes. Especially clothes.
What I think he said, was, that it's annoying to reclaim a ship from C-Store, and having to commission it first, only to discharge it immediately, just to get the card. So, I think what he meant was, Why not just let us claim the Admiralty card directly? (As the system already knows we have access to it)
Not really. It also means you need to have at least 1 free ship slot handy (and, if not, do a convoluted drydock/commission/discharge/undrydock cycle). Just let us claim the card directly already.
you can be L60 and still not do those storylines...
can you on your fed toon go and buy kdf ships? can your rom toon buy T5 and above faction ships? nuff said.
If you have a non-fed aligned Rom alt, or the alt is a Klink, if you've bought say, an Arbiter battlecruiser on your fed main, having opted for a single ship purchase rather than buying the cross-faction pack, you would then have to buy the Kurak/Morrigu to claim the exact same stat admiralty card on your faction alt.
Now you could riposte with, "serves you right for being a cheapskate", but Zen costs money, unless you're a rabid dil farmer and play the market and I imagine a lot of players don't see themselves rolling alts, but change their mind down the road, as I did.
My argument is I forked out for that ship and I indeed have no problem not getting the actual different faction ship variant for free, but the Admiralty system is just a mini-game and the current system seems unfairly punitive in that respect. We should be able to claim the CARD for the ship for what is, in essence, a minor, albeit incredibly useful, part of the game. There's a greater issue here also with regards to Lobi ships. 900 Lobi is no laughing matter, but I'll only ever get the card on the character I unlocked that ship on. Bah!
I myself have played STO on and off since day 1. I'm a lifer also. In that time, I have spent a very significant amount of money/dil on ship purchases on my fed main. What happens if, down the road (likely to happen) we get a 4th faction? Say I go to level my spanking new Cardassian(!) alt and I get to 52. Damn, I'm sol. Gl gaining spec points and levels through admiralty when you have half a dozen cards to your name, unless you decide to spend megabucks on new ships.
It's also a quality-of-life issue. Some people, indeed there are some judging by replies, might enjoy devoting loads of time to building their decks through rsi-inducing clickfests of claim/commission/dry dock/discharge/repeat, but I don't. Wouldn't be that hard to implement surely?
Like the Doff system, you can start adding Doffs to your roster (Not to Active Ground/Space, mind you) before you even unlock the Doff system at level 11.

I support this 100%.
You sir, I like!

It can take me well over an hour to claim and dismiss all the ships I own or have access to. I own all the Event Ships, all the C-Store ships, Promotion Ships, or Admiralty Cards, a bunch of Fleet Ships, and Lockbox Ships. I also claim all level up Ships that I have not already taken.
I usually save the 'U.S.S. ' or 'I.K.S. ' so I can paste them into the Delete dialog box when dismissing the ships to save some time. Then you also have to be cognizant of the lag in the Admiralty Card showing up.
It is a bit of a PITA but does give me a plethora of options in running Admiralty Assignments multiple times a day.
l don't know.
l really don't know what l'm about to say, except l have a feeling about it.
That l must repeat the words that come without my knowledge.'
by the time you get to that stage your faction becomes irrelevant since you are already receiving orders from npcs of other factions (most are well below your rank) especially in the delta, dyson, romulan and undine rep areas.
outside of the game it does make sense since notable characters in the startrek shows have commanded ships of other factions, especially in ds9 (Worf, Dukat, Enabran Tain and Sisko)

since we are talking about admirality cards, your character already gets the USS Rhode island, IKS Hegh and RRW Zdenia when your character reaches level 10 admirality in the respective faction regardless of your characters faction.
