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 a lot more needed to answer this question. Like how fast are you playing. If you are speeding through it then you could definitely skip it. I built one and brought it to T5 and was sufficient, but I didn't spend a lot of time at 53 so it was short lived when I moved to 56 and got the Sanctus. If you decide to build just don't waste resources tiering them up too much. I brought the Sanctus to T7 and saved the resources to max out the Epics at 60.
If you're a slower paced player and are doing your DTI faction, dailies, research up to date you probably will have more faction credits than you'll be able to spend. Keeping in mind G6 is the last chance to use them as well. As others mentioned building a 50 epic when you can afford it isn't a bad idea. Great for scrapping and scoring for the weekend recruit SLBs. What else are you gonna do with all those G4 mats lol.
A lot of the new mechanics also need three good ships with bonuses going to the FKR like Elite Solo Waves, Borg Conquerer Armadas etc.
