On a recently made character (post summer event), I am unable to access the store functionality in the event tab under reputation. I realize that as a new character the winter and summer event stuff will likely be unavailable, however I want to claim the ships on it, and unfortunately its walled off from inside the event store.

NO! It is not a Bug, Just cause you say it is a Bug!
The whole Premise of the Store (as I understand it from Salami's Post Quoted Below) was to Allow newly created characters access to ships released during Summer or Winter Events. This was to funciton similar to the previous discount system. It is Designed to function the following way.
Character 1 Completes the 1000 Mark Project to Unlock This Years Ships (T76 Connie for Example)
Character 2 DURING THE EVENT Unlocks the Event Store and Claims the Ship for Free.
Now There is a Perk that by unlocking the Store, you get access to all previous ships, but the intended function was for the store to be unlocked during the event.
We the Players have been asking that the Devs, Move that Store into the Standard Dilithium Store but have been unsuccessful as of yet.

PS: I is not a Dev, just a player.
Nothing about that states that its dependent on when you create your character. Lets face it Cryptic simply messed up by not having the Ship Claiming tab of the event store independently unlocked from the winter and summer event portions. Ergo a bug. It says it straight up, every single other character on your account that exists now or that you will ever create will have IMMEDIATE ACCESS to any event ship you've ever earned. Guess what bro, I don't have immediate access to my already earned event ships.
That right there. As was posted by a dev on the forums the event ships were suppose to be account-wide unlocks and he said nothing about needing the summer or winter items unlocked in the event reputation store first. In fact, he clearly said we would have "IMMEDIATE ACCESS" to our ships on all of our characters, which means there is nothing we should need to do first, such as unlocking summer/winter event items. And that was posted by @salamiinferno, the person in charge at Cryptic! http://www.arcgames.com/en/forums#/discussion/comment/12515229 (you may need to scroll down a few posts from the top of the page. stupid forums don't have a permalink option that can take you directly to posts instead of just the top of the page) He gave an explanation about making the event ships account-wide unlocks. What you quoted of his post was the very last paragraph.
Hate to say "I told you so" Cryptic, but I warned about this almost 2 months ago. http://www.arcgames.com/en/forums#/discussion/1189887/event-ships-in-reputation-store-not-unlocked-account-wide Unfortunately my thread title might not have been worded good. Instead of reading my posts it seems players thought I meant that I couldn't claim event ships on other characters at all. That wasn't the case. I was warning ahead of time that unless you have the summer or winter event items in the event reputation store to actually unlock the store first, you can't claim any event ships you have unlocked on your account. And as is being pointed out, the head person at Cryptic clearly said we should have access to our ships for all current and future characters on our account and said nothing about needing to unlock the event reputation store first. That is why I reported it as a bug, and also why the OP thinks it's a bug.
So based on an official statement by a dev, it seems this is actually not working as intended.
glad you pointed that tidbit out as I was going to quote it in too as it was my understanding that we could make alts etc and use ships
PWE, what if your favorite provider locks you out because it's spring or fall?
That's what this store is like.
