HERO ship ranking up is really HARD
As you all know, to rank up those hero ships we need to play Starfighter Assault. I am not good at starfighters, so only when I was lucky enough I could be those hero ships. And normally I soon blew...

@felker_s Thank you, that is a good point. Now, those hero ships require 25 level to craft epic cards. (I think it was level 20 before, but I might be wrong.) Until then, I may need to make many blue cards.
I wouldn't waste extra skill points in advance though. Ranking up the 3 cards you actually use to rare is reasonable enough, but you'll get the remaining skill points for the epic tier while leveling up anyway. Maybe also upgrade your regular starfighters, after all, that is the first step to the hero ships.
Some of us already have all the cards we'll ever use on our troopers and fighters at epic level. All I'm really doing under the new progression (and it's very easy to level up troopers and regular Starfighters now) is making purple cards that will never see the light of day.
If and when I feel the need to purple out all my heroes, there's a mode for that.
Hero ships however become instant targets in Starfighter Assault. If you last over a minute in one, you've had a very good run. So like the original poster said, leveling up hero ships is going to be a long, long grind.
When my crafting parts get converted I'll have 28 skill points to spend, and they're all going to my hero ships. The ones I use most are all blue already.
