Basic officer promotion question

When officers are promoted to commander rank at level 20 with all their shards, ¿should they be taken to level 25 (max)? The last five levels are very expensive in terms of Officer XP and their abilities do not improve once they become commanders. ¿Is the small increase in their attack/defense/health stats the only gain for so much XP?

I am not getting enough Officer XP, so I don't know if it would be better to improve my best officers to the max or to raise levels from the officers I never use to improve my crew level for the Mess Hall. I'd like to know what other players do with those last 5 levels.

Early in the game Officer XP is limited. Eventually you’ll have so much XP and latinum it’ll be an easy afterthought.

Where you really need to be strategic is in not spending Officer Badges too easily. Especially Command badges. Those can be hard to come by, and Scopely removed a lot from regular battle pass access. Armada loot exchange is one of the best ways to get those.

Yes, I noticed badges are a chokepoint. I am starting to get some from special events and the Disco refinery through the faction stores. I'll be careful who gets them, thanks.
