I got to level 30 before completing The House Always Wins. I got a Lieutenant Ship Requisition Token and was able to get a free Tier 2 ship with it. But all the Tier 3 and above ships are showing either Dilithium or EC or Zen costs. Are the free versions of those higher level ships tied to missions too? Or did I disqualify myself by advancing levels too quickly? Or is it a bug? I couldn't for the life of me find any documentation of the intended progression on the wiki or from googling. Thank you!

1. A Klingon can't get any free ships until after the first mission (The House Always Wins) is completed, no matter what level he's at when that happens. There's more than enough anecdotal evidence (including my own case) to confirm this.
2. If a Klingon completes The House Always Wins before hitting level 20, then a free Tier 2 ship is awarded as soon as the next mission is picked up, and then the pattern becomes the same as for Feds (free ships at 20, 30, 40).
What's unique in my case is that I passed level 30 before completing The House Always Wins. All I got was the free Tier 2 token. So what I'm asking is, when (if at all) will I get the Tier 3 and Tier 4 tokens? I've relogged several times, and all the Tier 3 and 4 ships are still showing Dil or Zen costs. I really don't want to try to go all the way from level 30 to level 40 in a Tier 2 ship. But I also don't want to spend Dil unnecessarily, when I might very well get that same ship for free just around the corner, when some magical undocumented milestone occurs. And whatever the answer is, is it "as intended" or is it a bug? I'd like to know whether to submit a ticket.
Oh and I'm a Lifetime Subscriber, in case that matters.
Toi'Va, Ti'vath, Toivia, Ty'Vris, Tia Vex, Toi'Virth: Add Tier 6 KDF Carrier and Raider.
Tae'Va, T'Vaya, To'Var, Tevra, T'Vira, To'Vrak: Give us Asylums for Romulans.
Don't make ARC mandatory! Keep it optional only!
If you've levelled up the normal way and spoken to J'mpok, checked your mission log and cant see any additional requirements, then it is starting to sound like a bug.
Also, go to starship and shuttle requisitions to see if you got the ship token without seeing an extra mission. I'm pretty sure during double XP events I've had KDF and Romulan characters get 2 tokens with only one visible promotion mission.
