is there an easier way to claim your freely accessible admirality ships?
The only way i know is to claim the real ship (shop, rewards, whatever) and to dismiss it again.
For an account well played this can make more then 100 ships to be claimed and dismissed ... painful when you start a new twink.
To make it a bit quicker to dismiss them after the Admiralty Card pops, I save the 'U.S.S ' or whatever to paste in (note the saved space at the end as well.

It is definitely something the devs want to do. One of the programmers even requested to do it, but it turned out to not be as easy as first thought. So, hopefully, they'll get it worked out soon.

You would probably want to separate claiming the Admiralty cards and claiming the Ship boxes (since ships come with special items, need to be opened, dismissed by name, etc.).
So 'Claim all Admiralty Cards' would probably be something like "Take the list of all Admiralty ship cards, go through in order. Is Player Eligible for this ship? Yes - Grant Card, No, next ship".
This would be a tricky one though, because there are promo ships, gift ships, account unlocks, character unlocks, ships accessible due to levelling/promotion that the character may be 'eligible' for but has not yet accepted (thus it would look like he is eligible for that whole promotional level, when he can only accept 1).
I crab at the devs a lot (and not just in this game!) for what I consider to be poor coding... but this one is definitely non-trivial.
It would save us all soooo much time though that I will cheer if they ever manage it!
Well ... even a seperate "Admirality Card Claimer" NPC would ease up the process ... if its possible to seperate the admirality cards from real ships ...
Right now i got used to rename the ships to "1111" and "2222" etc when claiming them ... and then keep the "U.S.S. " in the clipboard ... so you only neet to paste the u.s.s. and hit four keys to dismiss the ship. Beside this you mostly avoid to dismiss ships you wanted to keep.
