cannot seem to get free ships after promotion

I am fairly new to the game and have searched for answers for this question. I have not found exactly my answer but little bits. I just finished ranking to Commander (same thing happened at LT Cmdr). I get the points. I go to Spacedock. I go to see Admiral Quinn. He promotes me. I go see the ship requisition officer. I browse ships and all of them say I require credits to buy. When I got LT Cmdr promotion I got frustrated and bought zen so I could buy my new ship. So last night I did the same thing. Not a big deal really since I have the money. However it would be nice if there were some instructions on what to do to get a free ship later on. I believe I still have 3 more tiers to get. The people without the resources do not have the opportunity to throw money at the problem. If there is already some information for this I apologize. Please point me in right direction.
Thanks
Thanks

You only have three ships per tier choose except for the Rear Admiral ships. Unless it is a recent bug. I personally had zero problem with getting my rank up vessels.
It is a very confusing interface. A friend of mine had a similar problem, and he said it didn't show the ship requisition until he actually chose (clicked on) the ship that he could get for free. The one(s) that are your tier reward will show a price of 1 requisition, and you still have to "buy" it, by clicking on the buy button.
If you have purchased through c-store, then the two requisitions should still be there. Try going back, and as suggested earlier, choose to show the appropriate level, and clear the check boxes for stuff you're not looking for - small craft, etc. Then choose each ship, one at a time, to see what you are offered for your requisitions.

In the mission completion dialog window it will tell you that you have received a Ship Token (and costume change token if you are Gold). Once you have your Ship Token, you next need to go to the Ship Requisition Officer. Ship Requisition is entered via the turbolift at the rear of the Ship Yard Area. She'll be towards the right rear of the room as you enter it.
You'll be able to get a free non-C-Store ship of your new rank. It's best to filter ships for your new rank. Also any ship tokens that you have will show at the bottom of the Ship Requisition window. Select the ship and hit purchase. You'll get a confirmation window asking you you want to purchase said ship for X. You can cancel wlo penalty. You can also hover your mouse cursor over the entries to see what type of token it up in the popup information.
NOTE: If you closed the dialog window that offers you the promotion mission. It should be in the Available tab of you missions window (hit J). Or you can just go talk to Adm. Quinn in person to get the promotion mission. Because you have to do that anyway to complete the mission.
Had a similar problem. The ship I wanted still had a dilithium cost. Had to click on the c-store ship, then click back on the one I wanted, and then the requisition showed up to claim the ship for free.
To get slipstream, you'll need to press P in sector space and drag the ability into your toolbar (Quantum Slipstream Drive).
You may have to rerole that char to get the new ship.

*Edit* NM, it finally popped up.
Sounds like you purchased the ship, but then you have to go to the Ship Selection officer and actually switch to it. It doesn't swap you automatically.
As for the instant party thing, its a consumable device people can buy to cause that effect in social areas. Some players adore them, others loathe them. Its something any player can do.
Also, generally speaking, you don't want to post in any thread thats over 30 days old. Its usually considered bad form, and often the info is out of date. That said, everyone was new once, so now you know.
Had the same exact thing happen.
Contacted a GM and was told to fill out a bug report.
Nothing they can do to replace my spent token. And I have no new ship to choose from.
I ended up using another character, leveled it up to ten and had no problems getting into the Cruiser I purchased on the new character.
It may be in a box in your inventory, and If your inventory was full it may be in your overflow bag. If all of the above fails you should be able to claim the ship again from the Zen store.
Okay, so you bought a T2 Romulan Starship from the C-Store and your rank is currently centurion.
I am not in the game right now, but what you need to do is go to the C-Store and filter on T2 starships. The one that you purchased will say "Available" instead of stating the Zen cost. In the bottom right hand corner of the window you should see a "Claim" button. Click that button and you should then get your ship and be able to rename it in a pop up window.
