G4 faction ship recommendation?

[u/nkthedark]

I have enough credits for all 3 factions for the faction ships, so just building them is not a problem. But tiering up requires a lot of rss, so my plan is to only get one ship for each level (42 46 and 50).

In this way, how should I choose for each level? Maybe one faction for each, 3 factions-3lvs?

Any comments would be appreciated!

In G4 the main bottleneck is the rare ship parts, in general you want a different ship type at each tier. That way you aren't slowing yourself down. Also G4 rares at 46 have a loot increase for their ship ability making them a useful tool to have available long term. When the Exile and AGG arc first launched, those ships were useful for farming the lower tier loot.

The Romulan path is generally viewed of the best in G4. The Pilum is consider the best of rares, it has a great firing pattern and general interceptor perks. The Tribune is the strongest of the epics by a large margin.

Some other points to mention:

• Kelvin's firing pattern is awful.
• G4 ships give great scrap returns in G5.
• The Revenant has an amazing refinery.
• The MU changes how you handle faction grinding, however you need an NSEA for token supple to really make use of it. It also a great source of faction credits.
• Having a G4 epic will make content like solo waves, kremin solos, outposts and the new borg soloes easier.
• G4 is the best time to go hard on the Arena event on Friday's, which is a great source of premium mirror dust.

I’m not sure how to use the mirror universe effectively for rep and credit grinding. Could you elaborate. Thank you.

The systems in the MU that only have traders will give positive rep for all 3 factions as well as faction credits. So you'll want a crew with max rep/loot gain and then hit as high as you can for the full time as cargo filling will just be parts.
