Account wide unlock unavailable to Delta Recruits?

Ok, I hope I have this wrong, because I have a big problem with the added feature to claim unlocked event ships.
To re-claim a ship I have previously earned, I go under the Events category in the Reputation and re-claim them from the store. Works great on all my characters except one.. the only one that needs it.. my Delta Recruit.
When I go under Events in Reputation with my DR, the Store icon is greyed out. The only thing I need this feature for is to claim a Samsar and a Chel Grett on my DR, but he's the only one that can't use this feature. The description clearly says it's an account unlock, so he should have access.
What's the deal? Anyone else have this issue?
The characters that actually did the events can claim the ships, isn't my DR supposed to be able to claim it as well? I would think that's implied by 'Account Wide Unlock.' :mad:

Insert witty signature line here.

Just like how you can't purchase stuff from the winter event store, even if you have all the currencies, if you haven't run the 1 token turn in mission.
Have you visited Risa? Once you beam down you get a popup for the events and 1 free rise event thingy needed to open the event shop.
I can confirm this, wasn't able to claim my account ships until I unlocked the summer event store first.
Probably just an oversight, I'd bet on it getting fixed within a couple of weeks, assuming someone sends a few bug reports...
You're both right, that did the trick, thank you!
I had a feeling it was something I wasn't catching, I just couldn't figure out what.
If anyone else has this issue, just beam down to Risa, talk to the Event Coordinator to get the Favor and complete the project, that opens the store.
Thank you guys for the help, I appreciate it. :cool:
I don't think it is an oversight. I think that is specifically why you get 1 favor.
This works on one of my delta whelps, unfortunately I can't seem to actually submit the favour on my second one, open the rep tab slot the project push across the slide bar and nothing happens.
Tried removing the project and reslotting to no avail.
They don't.
Edit: This may sound harsh but going to risa and opening the event shop takes less than 5 minutes. If a player is too lazy to do that on a character then he/she should not have access to those past ships.
Wrong, it's a bug, the store for reclaiming the ships have to be open as long as this game last.. so new chars can get the ships, they are, after all, account unlocked, if not, that feature is useless
Its not a problem of lazy, but you may have some new character slots, and create new ones after the Risa event is over... how do you reclaim the ships?, you cant?, make no sense, must be a bug, in tribble is unlocked by default so Holodeck is bugged, pretty sure they will fix it soon.
It's a feature, not a bug. One which has been in place since the reputation and events introduction.
The event store is only unlocked after participating in an event which honestly makes sense.
My thinking is the toon in question will have to wait for the following summer/winter, then unlock the store normally.

That makes no sense, then it would be event locked not "account unlocked", as I said, it is available on tribble and is open to any char, even delta, so must be a bug, you know that things get borked from time to time in holodeck..
phew! nearly missed that one. thanks for the tip, good job.
all deltas are now able to claim account unlocked event ships.
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.
If that were the case, opening the reclaim tab during Summer Event would only give access to the Summer ships. It's much more likely that it's just a case of them accidentally/lazily sticking the reclaim store under the same flag as the Summer event store. Especially since the reclaim includes things like the Kobali cruiser and the Dyson science ship.
Worked just fine on my other one
actually that only applies when the event is running so if OP was trying that before today nothing happen but now that the summer event is running he can do that to unlock the store.
^^I'd like to know that as well.
I was so reliefed when I saw you can claim old and new ships later in rep store, .. It means I don't have to insta make toons I haven't done yet. But how do I access it after this summer event? Would any event unlock the store or is it already unlocked?
it may well be a feature but its one that needs changing, the OP is correct, if these ships are account unlocks and players create characters between events they should not have to wait for the next event to unlock the store.

Let's agree to disagree. I'll stick with the common sense of the current situation and you stick with whatever it is you're coming from. The entitlement is in my opinion a bit silly especially since the various events practically arrive within weeks or even days from each other.
the unlocking can only be done during the summer winter and anniversary events, I would hardly class that as weeks or even days, in fact after July 17th new characters created after that will need to wait till December to unlock access, that's around 5 months by my reckoning.
it will remain open for characters who have it unlocked but use some common sense, there will be new characters created after the event is over and they will have no way of unlocking it until the next event comes around.
the only reason unlocking the store between events wasn't necessary before this is there was no reason to, now they have put ships on there that newer characters will not be able to access until the store is unlocked by them theres plenty of reason to remove this feature.
this is not like the temporal officer in any way shape or form, the temporal officer is not unlocked by visiting the summer or winter event while the events are live collecting the first token and running a reputation project using said token to unlock access.
the temporal officer is there perminantly and does not require unlocking by new characters like the store does.

Wasn't necessary? I cannot buy frosted boots for my DR toons. And you call this "wasn't necessary"?
I have to agree, it's definitely not a 'feature' and it's something they should look into changing.
I understand why the Event Store was locked for my Recruit, he never took part in an 'Event' (except of course for the Delta Recruit Event) so he didn't have access to the event store. But as others pointed out, this creates problems for newly created characters going forward.
If I create a character after the Summer Event ends, I now can't give him any of my Event Ships unless I wait for the Winter Event. I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to be like that, it just seems like an oversight to me. For the sake of simplicity, the Event Store should be unlocked by default. If you have not completed any events or achieved any unlocks, then the store inventory should simply be empty.
^this....if they're going to make the ships account-wide it makes no sense to make a new toon wait for a seasonal event to access them
This is a problem. Not, in my opinion, a huge problem, but a pretty easily solved one, I would think.
that's all very well for new players but I am not a new player and I have access to all of the event ships with my current 6 characters but after the summer event is over if I create any new characters in my many free character slots they will not be able to access these ships until they run the winter event and it should not be this way, they should be able to claim these ships and use them as soon as they reach a level to do so which by my reckoning is about a week after I create them.

(My main sticks with it mostly for aesthetic reasons. I like the look of USS Hans Asperger.)
either that or just make it so the store is unlocked by default as soon as you reach the level to use the ships.
