You need access to more ships as an Admiral

So, every 10 levels you get a new ship right? Then why does it stop at level 40? The ships then are way to expensive.

He's talking about for Admiralty. Slagging off his build is not necessary or fair and shows you did not read his post.
OP, admiralty missions can grant single-time-use ships for admiralty campaigns so this is one way to get some. Visit the Narendra system to gain an Epic sci ship, the USS Sally Ride, permanently. Getting to lvl 10 in each campaign grants another Epic ship for each. If Cryptic do any more giveaway events, that's one way to get some more ships you can claim and dismiss for admiralty as well.
If you have some EC you can buy the mirror universe ships and other T5 ships from the exchange for somewhere between 7 and 10mil each. Many of them are actually good to fly too.
Hope this helps and don't worry, as you play you'll find more ways to get ships, even if only single-use ones.

You know what, you're absolutely right about that, and I apologise. But do you not think jumping in and slagging off his build was still not helpful in this instance? We're both guilty of something here, I'm sorry for my faux pas (honestly am, seriously mis read his title as Admiralty as had been reading another thread on that and must have had it on the brain), are you?
OP, what did you mean?

However, based on the ending of your post, I believe you should change your thread title to "You need access to more free ships as an Admiral".
Technically, the only ship(s) in the game that aren't free are Veteran ships you get as a lifer, every other ship in the game can be had without ever spending even a penny of real money.
I did notice one thing that's changed though on my AoD toon. At level 40 any of the event ships* you've earned are available as well as any Jem'hadar Vanguard ships that you've unlocked the tier 6 mastery on. Having tier 6 ships available at L40 is new to me and I assume is working as intended?
*OP: while my comment doesn't help you directly there are free tier 6 event ships available each year. There's also some ships available directly for fleet credits if you're in a fleet, mirror versions from the exchange (T5 non-upgradeable), and fleet ship modules available via attaining tier 6 in reputations.
We're about to enter the 'free ship sweet spot' for new players.. the end of the year/beginning of a new year. Through December-February we'll have the Winter Event followed by the Anniversary event.. both events will award a T6 ship.
If there is a ship in the C-Store you really want, that's fine too.. Black Friday sales will be around soon enough. Either way, you'll have some great chances to pick up some ships.
If you just started with your first character though, don't rush it, build up your resources first before commiting to multiple ships you might want. Like others have said, soon the Winter-Event will start which again gets you a free T6 ship and the reputations until then can also be finished. Sales are coming around and have also been more recent this entire year (a trend i don't see stopping any time soon, it makes them money), just build up your resources (dilithium, EC, access to crafting/QoL unlocks) first then worry about not having enough ships, these days, with all the specializations, really overpowered gear (even without any special gear like lobi/ship consoles etc) you can make a competent build to do everything the game has to offer. Over time you'll simply get more and more and you'll get there quicker which also means you'll eventually get access to tons of zen without paying a cent.
assuming you belong to a fleet. I'm hoping they are not bound buti suspect they are. I'd sell them otherwise
The Fleet Ship modules that come from Tier 6 Reps (and paying 100 Marks) are bound to character, at least that's how they were when I last tested on Tribble. No transferring them, even to new toons on the same account.
Only the hull scales directly, though you might have a Mastery giving you more shields depending on the ship. Also, they continue scaling to 65, though it's not always spelled out.
