From the Holodeck patch notes for June 4, 2015:
http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=1472921
Added a store tab to the Event Reputation Store called "Account Reward Claim".
- Here players will be able to claim event reputation project starship rewards earned on any character.
- For example, if a player has earned the Risian Corvette on one character, all characters on the account can claim the Risian Corvette for free from this new store.
- Also, any character on an account which has earned one of these ships can reclaim the ship for free if it has been discharged.
Forgive me if this question has already be answered elsewhere. Does this change apply only to the summer event ships, or will ships from the winter event and other special events also become account-wide unlocks? In particular, I can think of the following ships from special events:
Breen Chel Grett Warship
Breen Plesh Brek Heavy Raider
Breen Sarr Theln Carrier [T6]
Support Cruiser Retrofit (Ambassador)
Kamarag Battlecruiser Retrofit
Obelisk Carrier
Dyson Science Destroyer (all factions)
Kobali Samsar Cruiser [T6]
That's all the ships that I can think of right now, but I have may missed some. Note that I already have an account-wide unlock for the Support Cruiser Retrofit (Ambassador). It was given away for free at some point, long after the initial appearance of "Temporal Ambassador".
Waiting for a programmer ...

This would be handy to know what ships will and won't be on the list of reclaimable ones.
And given the console set for the Nandi, maybe Lockbox and Lobi ships as well.
I won't even be upset if it costs Zen per ship to buy Account unlocking of them in the Account Store.
like the OP said we shall find out soon.
this is a very good move in more ways then one for us players, not only will we now be able to claim these ships on alts who never got them we will also be able to discharge these ships at any time and reclaim them again later.
good for anyone who is tight on ship slots, only remember to remove your gear before discharging ships or you will loose it.
this would be cool for players that have them but sadly I don't expect they will be included.
When I think about everything we've been through together,
maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey,
and if that journey takes a little longer,
so we can do something we all believe in,
I can't think of any place I'd rather be or any people I'd rather be with.
I know the devs do some odd things sometimes but I really don't see this happening, theres just no reason to not include all event ships at the same time.

Emphasis mine. At the very most, this could be read as including summer/winter event ships plus the DSD and the Samsar. Not mission rewards or other non-rep project ships.
We'll see after the patch.
So it's a good thing for cryptic and the players. :P
I question a lot of game decisions Cryptic has done with STO. But I have never questioned their ability to make money in STO.
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.'
Actually, thats a great idea, anyway, i'll love to have the kamarag, the bortas and the oddy again.. i have 12 alts, only 2 of them has those..
I would expect the opposite. I plan to dismiss my Breen ships and Samsar, since I will now be able to retrieve them at any time should I want them (or their consoles). I'll require fewer slots than I do presently.
add to that the fact that there is a sale on services just started including a 20% discount on ship slots.
