Ship building materials management

I am always short on the ship upgrade currency and am getting to the stage where every move I take is very expensive and I'm not sure whether star level or ship level is more important.

So, how should I spend my next 3-5 million ship credits?

1. Promote Biggs ship to 7* and and fleet ships I can from 5 to 6, increase ship level later.

2. Level up my arena ships to 85 or top level needed for abilities, promote later.

3. Level up my shiny new chimera from ~62 to 80+, put off other ship leveling and promotion.

    This, especially if you're in a shard where there aren't many of them. Heck even if you are, still this.

    Then you owe it to yourself to make the jump. I'm beating myself bloody trying to 5* Home One (run Tarkin and TIES normally) so I can be the first Chimera. None of the top 10 have it (yet).
  • For Capital Ships Chimaera is tops, followed by Executrix. I was never fan of Endurance. Home One can be viable early on, but if you have Chimaera, spend your time on that.

    As someone who dove feet first into fleets, I can tell you that for a while you will be spending a ton of credits on leveling them up. But after a while, you will reach a balanced point, there you have the credits when a ship it ready to be upgraded. As it stands now, I have all the ships unlocked, and at Level 85 and their abilities maxed out. I just have to farm the shards to finish some of them off. So I have been able to either hoard ship credits (I keep a couple of million on hand for when I 7* one) and can buy mods with the rest.
