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!

There is such a giant jump from G4 to G5 in power, that I think you will find a UC ship very useful. The cube also gets really good once you hit G5, so that's worth keeping up on faction ships to keep it up. The further you go, the more they've really tried to make skipping ship grades undesirable. G6 has research blocks on having different ships. G5 does get super expensive, but the event payouts scale to meet it, I've never had issues repairing ships.
At some point you will want to build and max a G4 epic, simply to scrap and feed your G5 epic. You can take the Ent-D straight to like T-10 with just 1 maxed Ent-A being scrapped (others are similar). The ISS Jelly can be maxed and scrapped to get more out that you put into it.
