Not able to purchase ships anymore--anyone else?

[dichuy]

When my first character got to level 19 the ability to purchase ships was lost for me (the "Purchase" button is no longer clickable). I sent a bug report, and almost 6 weeks later still no response from the game. So, I started a new character. Sometime during level 21 THIS character lost the ability to purchase ships. I'm more than annoyed.

Anyone else having this problem??? And if so, did you ever get the ability back?

I can't bring myself to start over with a third character. This sort of thing should have been worked out BEFORE they released the game.
