Event ship unlocks.

So the event ships unlock for all characters through the event store... my question is this.
What if your character doesn't have event store unlocked and it's not during a period where an event is active? Tough luck? I'm curious about how it works really. Since the event store is locked by default.

Each character has to unlock the Event Store.

However, what if they elect to do another "roll a new alt Delta Recruit" type maneuver, or the player just decides that it's time to roll an alt.
IF it's not event season, said Alt will have the store locked.
How does said alt now claim the "account wide unlocked ships" prior to the next event?

This is more of how my question is themed. Or if your alt doesn't have the store unlocked during the event season. Like, you run races with one char mainly, the rest simply don't touch the winter area for example.

In seriousness though: this very generous reclaim has existed only since this summer event. We managed to play without the unlock ships before the summer event, we will be able to play with them afterwards.

I started playing STO just before the 2014 Anniversary Event. My 1st captain was able to claim the Dyson Science Destroyer, but my 2nd captain was not because I created that captain too late to collect all the Qmmendations required to claim that ship.
Fast forward to today, I have 9 captains including a Delta Recruit. All my captains can claim the Dyson Science Destroyer because it has been unlocked by my 1st captain.
Not really what they were asking. The question appears to be mostly...
If I create a toon after the event ends, will I have to wait until the next event begins to unlock the reclaim store?
Honestly, I do not know if that will happen or not. I know, if you create a toon after the Summer event ends, you will not be able to unlock the Summer store on them until the next Summer event. Same goes for Winter event. However the tab for reclaiming the things unlocked at an account level is something new, and a whole different critter, so we will just have to wait and see.
We come in peace, SHOOT TO KILL!
Or are you asking if you will actually be able to queue the project that unlocks the event store when there is no Summer or Winter event? I don't know for sure but my guess is probably not.
Favors wouldn't do any good without the mission to unlock the store.
Or does it require level 50 or 60 to access the tab in the first place?
Sucks? Definitely... I do hope it changes, though.

If the said alt has the event store locked, than the said alt need unlock it before the event ends, otherwise there is no need to be concerned, because if they haven't unlocked it, than odds are they haven't earned anything to contribute to it either!

no need to test it, although my older characters were able to access the store and claim the ships my delta characters were not able to access the store or claim the ships until they had visited risa and unlocked the store with the first favour.
I am guessing any characters created after the summer event will also be able to access the ships when the winter store is unlocked, although its not long time to wait between events its still something that needs to be addressed by the devs, both stores need to be unlocked by default as soon as a character hits lv40, as T5 ships can only be used at lv40+ they cant use any event ships before that point anyway.
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.
The point is, and you may have misread it, that Dareau is making is this.
"Cryptic does another thing similar to the Delta Recruits. It is during a period with NO events going on, and said character gets high enough to use the ships from event stores.
They cannot access the reclaim tab until an event roles around. IMO, defeats the point of having an account wide unlock for all present and future characters.

I guess you also misread my comment, if the new alt is created during a period of no events, than the new character wouldn't even be able to donate to an older event, even if they had unlocked that events store!
So, it is pointless to ask for it!
The reclaim will not benefit a new alt, because they couldn't donate to it even if the option was there, along with the project to do so, because they couldn't earn the neccessary donations for the project since it is no longer running!
As for the reclaim ship ability, if it isn't available unless an event comes around, than that's just tough luck till it does, because it sounds like this OP is asking for a way to get around having to run the summer event, so that they can obtain the Nandi later on for nothing!!!

All that inconvenience for a one resource turn in mission. It must be a very epic mission indeed.
It's either save a few lohlunats, for the possibility of opening the event store later on, provided the option is still available, not that a new toon would have any 2015 favors to use anyways.
If it isn't than the new alt is just SOL.
What I see being asked, is for a way to open the event store, than use the ship reclaim like current toons, to get the prior event unlocked ships for nothing, meaning they want to be able to reclaim ALL of them including the Nandi, for not having run the event!
While I can see why they would want this, it's not Cryptics job to make sure it is done year round when an event isn't running so, the OP may have to just wait it out!

You can claim the Nandi without running a single flying high. You get the one resource you need for the epic unlock mission as part of the mission itself. You talk to the event coordinator. You get the mission to turn in the one resource you were given when you acquired the mission. You turn in the one resource you were given when you got the mission. Tab unlocked.

but the new characters created on an account can obtain all the event ships for nothing once the reclaim store is opened anyway without having to donate anything more then the one favor it takes to unlock the store and they get that for free anyway as soon as the visit the event at the start so whats the problem.
the character does not need to do anything more then visit the event unlock the store and then he can leave, I am sure cryptic wont loose any sleep if a character can bypass something that takes 30 seconds to complete.

I am already aware of this but, it doesn't mean it will be available year round when events aren't running, unless either Cryptic makes it so and/or, the OP actually bothers to open the event store via necessary turn in item needed.
That is why I said, save a few lohlunats just in case the option is there, otherwise he may be SOL till next event!

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.'
