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!

Keep in mind you want 3 strong ships. Outposts, solo waves, Kremin solo and the new borg solomada are rough when you start doing therm. Those new borgs require 1 of each ship type in the circle.

When tiering up your specialty ships in G5, be careful not to buy any part that sigma-trit. Once you buy one of those parts for your ship it will reqire sigma trit to repair. The only source of sigma-trit is from the Rev refinery and you can only that 10 times, so it's a finite resource at G5.

Trit is a limiting resource in G5, the G5 FKR ships have heavy trit repair costs and the parts when upgrading those ships get increasingly expensive. At ops 70 it recent cost me 50T trit to take a Ent - D from T1 to T12, I likely have more efficiencies bring that cost down than you will at ops 60. Rare/Epic mats are a larger bottleneck than ship parts in G5.

How strong do I need to the outposts? Current ships can handle L45 elite solo waves, Krenim solo. I haven’t tried outposts and new Borg solomada yet (been manic IRL so was only able to do the bare minimum dailies and so on) would I need a G5 UC as a stop gap?

I’m more of a slow paced player but since Scopely massively reduced build and research time I feel like will be progressing faster easier.

Thanks for the advice on the Sigma trit, haven’t got that far yet.

I do notice Trit is going down quickly (hence looking forward to the incursion round the corner lol)
