I purchased my 2 extra character slots, so I'll have a lowbie on either side (blue and red) to support anyone who wants to jump in, regardless of where my main is.

Yeah, I was able to get on last night, Just before you logged actually. It seemed OK. I thought there were only 9 levels of LT. I'm now LT10. What gives. I, also, noted that the skill points added are in parenths now (2) for example. What does that mean?

I didn't notice the parenthesis, but you have to break lvl 10, not reach lvl 10, in order to rank up. ... so really lvl 11.
Sorry. All of us said the same thing.
"I'm lvl 10! Where's my new Ship?!?"

The parenthesis mean how many points you have already put into that specific stat (if I remember correctly, not at my pc at the moment).

Not a bad looking little ship.
I should post some pics of my Fleet Escort.
I'd like to outfit an Assault Cruiser as well, but I'm not sure I'll be able to put many skill points in that direction.....

Also, in a recent interview, Craig Whathisname the exec producer said they were not going to wait for 'Season 2' to add things the customers were asking for. If it's not a major overhaul and they can throw it in, they will. Hopefully that means we'll be getting some updates ever few weeks until they decide what should be reserved for Season 2.
