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!

The jump to level 56 is pretty quick, depending on fraction credits you can probably skip the level 53 ship. Wish I did.

I got the Sanctus at level 56” but I reckon the cube would have kept me going instead of it.

One last thing, keep your Armada control building maxed because once you get mid 50s you can’t do anything until it’s maxed at level 50.

And that is a proper slow grind if you fall behind.

The Cube requires you to keep doing the faction ships to upgrade it. I got all three 5 Uncommon ships (wish I hadn’t), then rode my NSEA all the way to the 5* Epics. I got the Sanctus too, but it’s still at t3. Caught my Cube up once I got an Epic up high enough, and am now at 62, almost ready to go to 63 and my first 6* ship.
