I'm really enjoying the game, but I have some stuff I coudn't figure by myself in the one week I'm playing.
-I used the command /screenshot_ui_jpg (or something similar), and then I only can get screenshots without the toolbars, or any other thing besides the scenario where I am. A good feature, but I coudn't figure how to take screenshots with the hud to show other stuff I need answers too.
-is there a free ship when I reach lvl 60. I believe I made a bad choice over my last ship and I woudn't like to start over.
-no new missions when reach admiral besides the forge missions and patrol missions? Like the ones that poup out of nothing.
-what are the advantages of creating / entering a fleet for a pvp hater like me?

Screenshots:
There's the base command, /screenshot. You can add either or both of the _ui or _jpg tags to it. -_ui makes it take the screenshot without the ui, and _jpg makes it save it as a jpg (I believe otherwise it's a .tiff file, possibly?)
What you want is probably just /screenshot_jpg (since it doesn't have the _ui, it won't remove the ui from the screenshot), but if you like uncompressed files and have a good photo editor, just /screenshot might be for you.
Elothox covered the rest pretty well.

10 days grinding can get you a Tier 5 ship.
One thing to be aware of is that as you level up, your enemies get better. You need to upgrade your kit to stand a chance.
I haven't found anywhere dilithium ships, anyway, I'm almost lvl 60, would a fleet ship be good?
And I coudn't figure the screenshot thing, with alt+printscreen I only get the same screenshots without hud in TGA form.
Fleet ships are excellent but just look at the cost!
If you are really unhappy with your ship the avenues I have suggested are the way to go, unless you want to spend cash.
I feel for you because the Romulan ship I got for one of my alts is a piece a rubbish. Trying to butter up Mrs Glenn so she will let me spend out on a Tier 6 Morgai.
Fleet ships are great but troublesome to get... you need fleet modules which cost millions of EC or a fair bit of zen. Also, you can't reclaim them on alts. If you buy the base ship for zen and pay 1 module, you can do that on many chars. Basically, buying the non fleet version saves you if you ever use that ship again on another character.
You can get ships off the exchange but talking over 100 million usually.
My advice is to work with what you can for now and save up for the ship you want (whether that is zen or credits). Meanwhile review the free ships that will be available in the summer event and whatever else might be coming soon.
fleet has nothing to do with pvp unless your fleet is pvp themed. Plenty of PVE fleets / casual fleets.
fleets offer stores full of great items .. the tac consoles, frigate pets for carriers, warp cores, fleet ships, and a few other items are very nice to have.
I've seen quite a few people say this, but I have yet to see anything about it. You get a level 40 t5 ship at level 40 and nothing after that. I have yet to see any links to release notes or news updates that they're making a ship available at 50. I have 9 level 60s right now, and I just leveled one of them that I made from scratch in November, no free ship at 50. I have a level 41 rommie, so who knows.
You have to be a veteran with so many days as a subscriber (I think around 400-600 days) or a lifetime subscriber
This is what I was thinking as well.
there is no such thing as a noob question,we were all beginners at one point when we started playing.It's better to ask questions than let your enjoyment of the game be hampered.Welcome to the game by the way!
Its easy to forget. I get one at 50 cause I paid in long ago. So sometimes im like "get to 50 and get a karfi" ... forgetting that ppl can't do that.

I believe the VA (50) token is only available after a certain number of days subscribed.

Yeah, I wouldn't call the ship free either, but a lot of people just know that they get a token at 50 like they do with every other promo so it's easy enough to see where the idea of that ship being free comes from.
