Ship Omegas (and Currency)
Is anybody else starting to think CG should consider doing something to make these more available? I've been playing a little over 4 years and until recently I can't remember the last time I had to c...

As the game has progressed, more bottlenecks have been added so it just makes sense for older ones like ship/reg omegas to be eased. No one starting the game today wants to reasonably hear it'll take 5 years to catch up.
Plus, Op has a good suggestion of adding things like ship omegas, even other currencies, to shipments. This is a great idea. Let people buy what they need the same way kyros can be bought from multiple shops.
No new bottlenecks have been added for ships though. All the old bottlenecks - including single shard farming, omegas, and prestige are all still there and there's no further advancement available to a ship after those things have been maxed out (aside from pilot gear/relics which is another matter entirely).
I'm not saying it should forever be the grind that it is now, but until there's another way to upgrade ships I don't see them easing any of the old pinch points. Gear bottlenecks only got eased after relics came along - and even then it took them years to do it. Now that many of us are over the worst of the gear hump, signal data is dragging us all down to a crawl. There's no analog to that for ships though.
I agree with you, but the big difference with ships is that there really is no place to go for the material. I don't think CG wants people to just have to wait - their ideal is people having to wait OR, much to their preference, spend to get it now. Right now I don't even think there is a way to spend. And let's be honest, very few will spend actual money on fleets because to many don't like/care about them (I like them). But people might use something like raid currency thus reducing their ability to buy other things they need and would spend on. My situation is this: I'd like to have a way to get these materials to upgrade my Resistance fleet, but I can't. I haven't even upgraded Zori past G7 because I don't feel I should spend the Ship Omegas for what is my 8th fleet.
It just feels like they should give us something reasonable here since both players and CG would benefit. I say "reasonable" because with the exception of extreme whales, the if rest of us are going to spend real money then we are buying signal data, zetas, or characters.
