problem when admiral told me i can get a ship

[johnmc50]

note i was told to go to get one, but when there it says i don't have enough dillians
or something like that. this i think there's a bug,

there is specific ships you can get for free. though it depends on your faction. romulans gets warbirds, KDF characters gets KDF ships and federation characters gets federation ships. the free ship is marked with a tier symbol. other ships you can buy for dilithium ot zen.

When you look at the ships available for purchase, the price in terms of Zen, Dilithium, ship tokens (which is what you have), Fleet Ship Modules, etc. will be shown in the lower, right hand corner.

The ships that can be had for a ship token are decent, but not great. Don't sweat it! Once you've leveled up sufficiently, you will have multiple opportunities to gain a free (FREE!) T6 ship throughout the year. Seven in the past year, IIRC.

Ideally, you will want to use it for a ship that matches your character type:
Tactical - escorts, carriers, some cruisers
Engineering - Most cruisers and ... I dunno what
Science - anything described as a science ship

... I'm really not much help here, but Cap, Sirius or someone else will probably be around shortly to elaborate. Cap has created some ship selection/build guides that you will find most helpful. Sit tight for the moment.

when you unlock the first event ships you will probably use those from level 10 upwards

'dillians' 🫵😂

you need to change the filter to what rank you are the ones that you can use a token on have a token icon in price instead of dil or zen.

I know it can be overwhelming at first with all the different types off shops but there is an npc you visit to change ships or buy ships with 'acquisition' tokens(i usually go to earth space dock for this but there is one at every major hub), you get one off these at every significant level for tier 1, 2, 3 and 4 (i'm not sure about 5) but you can pick one for each class for each tier.
Don't get these confused with ships you can buy with zen or dill, save these purchases for when your sure which route you want to go down first, these acquisition tokens help guide you with that so you can test each class.

There's specific ships you can get with your promotion tokens, depending on your faction. There's a section about it in this guide.
