So I just became a Lt. Commander. I went to starbase to sell stuff and speak to Quinn. He told me to see Lt. Laurel. I go see her and she has cruisers for sale. The cost was 20,550 I believe. So I had that much coin and I bought the cruiser. But I could not find it anywhere. Not when I beamed out back to my ship in orbit, or in my inventory. Also the quest log still said to see Lt Laurel.
So I beam back to starbase and Quinn still says to see Lt laurel, so I go back and now she has the ship available to me again, this time for only $1.
So I pick it but nothing happens. Just a pop up asking me if I am sure about buying it. When I click yes, nothing happens.
Being curious, I try to by an escort for $1, and it says that I did buy it! But I still can't find the ship. It's not waiting for me in orbit. Only my original ship is waiting for me.
I was able to go to the rank ceremony, and the quest log cleared when I picked the escort ship. But I am sorta sitting at the station with my old ship in orbit.
First of all did you actually spend your points and gain the rank Lueit Cmdr? I'm thinking you did as you have the quest to get your new ship.
If you did you can buy the ship. Once you have bought the ship you have to go and make that ship the active one in space, by either going to the guys down the turbo lift (the one in question is the left as you come out of the turbo lift. Or (i cant be sure) you can make the ship you just bought the current one, from inside your inventory.
By the way, any first new ship is free(you get given a credit for it) for the new rank acquired, other than that you have to pay.
I had the same issue, you have to talk to the right people in the right order in the mission briefing for
promotion. I purchased a cruiser for 20+k not knowing that it was meant to be 1 trying to do this mission.
when I went back and talked to the right people(sorry did not note down there names), it was 1 point however I could not buy the cruiser at that point(because I now had one) and had to pick another ship in order to finish the mission.
You have to talk to a guy in the hanger to change ships, you do this in station. Hes on the ground floor on the right console, carn't miss him says change ships.
I don't think it's broken but it is very confusing.
You level to Lueit Cmdr by spending your points, you then chat to Quinn, either via hailing or going direct, who gives you the mission to go and see Lt Laurel for your new ship.
Thats it, after that you go see the guy downstairs and change your ship over to the new one.
So as Firelord and Seveer mentioned, I needed to go to the NPC who changes ships for you. I didn't know he existed until now. So I had the option of my old ship or the new cruiser or escort I had bought. Better direction from the NPC's needs to be given to a player in regards to the order to do things in.
