    You need to go to star base 001 in the sol system and talk to the admiral or hail starfleet and take the promotion quest.

    Hmmm... thats strange, if you already spent the skillpoints (allocated them to skills) you should level up and dont have to go anywhere (Admiral Quinn just gives you new ship but promotion is automatic). If you really spent the points on skill must be a bug.

    check your progress line at top of screen it should tell you if the items needed to progress to lt commander have been meet i had to goto adm quinn at starbase to take promotion he then has a quest if you complete it they give you a ship vs buying one

    I had the same problem. It kept telling me I needed to spend 6700 skill points, even though I already had. However I was (and still am) able to gain new ranks, even though it told me I need to spend skill points (which I had already done).
    I've submitted a ticket ages ago, but I only got a reply that, in future I should submit a bug report and not a GM ticket for this...

    Dont you have to go see the Admiral before you actually get the new rank? I thought for sure you dont actually rank up until after seeing the admiral and getting the new ship, but I could be wrong.

    No ranking up is automatic.

    To the OP, my guess is that you havent actually spent all of your skill points. Either click the flashing 'SKILL UP" thing at the top left of the screen, or hit U, select your character from the left, then skills tab at the top. Scroll down the list and add in skill points to whatever skills you like and make sure to use em all. Once you do, Im betting you suddenly become Lt Commander 4.

    This might sound dumb but...

    Make sure you hit "Accept" after you spend your points.

    I would be careful, and add one point at a time (add a point, click accept, add a point, etc). This will prevent you from being able to waste points that you will be able to spend on Tier 2 skills when you rank up.

    Otherwise, that sounds like it should fix your problem. If you go through all of your skill points without ranking up, that is a serious bug.

    I would add to this that you need to be aware the Captain character has more than four skills to choose from. I made this mistake in Open Beta. Note that Pyrceval said scroll down. If you've only put points into the first four (the ones that show when you open the screen) then you will max out those skills long before you have spent 6700.

    I had the same problem.

    Lieutenant 13, all skills maxed, but would not promote.

    The trick was to scroll down and add to the "hidden" skills of your main character.
