VA but no ship token
 

Hello.

So, I just hit VA last night. I just started playing about a month ago. This is my first toon.

I was really looking forward to hitting VA to get my token and get my new ship. However, I reached VA, but can't seem to get my new ship.

I have the Promotion Admiral quest and it says to go to Lt. Laurel for my new ship. It shows I have 1 plaque, which I'm assuming is my token.

But, when I try to get my ship, it says I need 500 Emblems.

Everyone in Zone chat was saying I should just be able to go to her and get my new ship. The quest seems stuck as it won't proceed. I can't drop it either - the option is greyed out.

Admiral Quinn won't talk to me now either... he did at first telling me to go speak with the Lt.

Also, I was told at ever new rank you get a free respec. Is this true to? I have never respeced, but would like to. However, when I go to the respec person, it says I have to buy a respec. I'm pretty sure Quinn also said I earned a free respec. I may have misread that though.

Any advice? I did file a ticket as others told me to do saying I must be bugged. But no one was sure why.

Thanks for any advice :)

The free token only works on the refit ships. The others (MVAM, Galaxy X, Vulcan etc) are not part of the deal. Witch ship are you trying to purchase?

I think you have misread something that the "respec person" said. Talk to him nd choose the first option. Now you can respecc and after you spent the points you want to change and accepted it, he will say that he's using 1 of your respecc tokens and ask if he can proceed.

Not all the refits, either. Only the Defiant, Intrepid, and Galaxy. The Nebula and Excelsior are also retrofits, but neither is available for the ship token.

Yes, it's the defiant retrofit I want. I have the regular defiant if that matters. But when I click on the retrofit, it says I need 500 emblems.

Is there something else I'm suppose to do?

You may not have used your token from becoming a UA, see if the normal T5 ships (Fleet Escort for example) have a cost or if you have a token left for one of those. Then you can get your VA quest and token.

Thank you. That's exactly what it was. :)
