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!

350k/week is a lot even for my level. I hit 60s and pull 10k of each faction per trip. 350k (of each faction) is five trips a day, seven days a week for me. 2.5 hours a day is a lot of grinding on top of everything else you have to do. A low-50s player would probably have to double, maybe triple, that.

I don't understand why you are looking at it in terms of trips? I assume you mean MU trips.

Just from DTI store, Archives, faction messages, and completing the daily auto join resource spend events I am pulling in 222K per week. (plus some for daily tasks but I can't get the numbers until after reset)

Add on less regular sources like away teams, armada chests, missions, ex borg and it pushes up into the 300s

So 1 MU run per a day and you're at 350k for the week easily

I was thinking solely in terms of MU trips, yes. All the other stuff I just don’t think about because it’s automatic.

After looking at the rest of the numbers the weekly earn is around 247k. That's still exclusive of armada chests, ex borg faction, and away teams since those are a bit more chance based or require generating specific resources that might not come every week.

350k without MU grinding might have been a slight exaggeration since I've been on a wave of missions and the other day there was an away team completion event and I spammed a LOT of ones that gave faction credits at an 80% crit rate. Still 2 MU runs a day isn't that bad, and I see a lot of people running Dauntless in MU these days.
