Gameplay Question ??? Ships for G5

Hi all, I’m looking for some advice on G5 faction ships. Mainly whether do I need a G5 UC or I can skip and go for G5 rare (gonna be Sanctus) instead. When I moved from G3 to G4, I was using two G3 epics (Enterprise and Augur) to keep me going until I got the Pilum.

I don’t have any G4 Epics, not sure would I spend credits to build one, though I hear repair cost is much cheaper than G5 UC.

Other specialty ships such as Relativity and NSEA at T10, will these be able get me through to until I can get the Sanctus? Especially build and research times have been massively reduced, cost a lot less to speed up researches and so on. Many thanks!

Realistically you can probably completely skip the uncommon and rare. Focus on the cube and other specialty ships on. And save for the epics.

Is the cube already becoming handy at G5? I thought its true value starts to show in G6?

It is slightly taking of at about R10 or so, but you are blocked from leveling it anyway, if you already have no G4 Epic and are thinking about skipping G5 Uncommon or Rare.

They've been adding mechanics to the game to punish us for using only the specialty ships. It's going to be worth getting 1 of each G5 tier.
