There are no free Vice Admiral ships currently available, but are purchasable with Zen from the C-Store Ships category. STO provides a free ship for each 10 levels advanced up to Rear Admiral. There are three categories of vessel for ranks up to Admiral and specialized vessels at the rank of Admiral.
It is possible to purchase each type of ship available to each rank. Players also have the option of purchasing additional ships with either energy credits or dilithium. Each new rank will reward the player with access to a new vessel. Star Trek Online provides the player with command of a starship which is to some degree customizable.
