I didn’t spend a penny on the cube outside of the BP I bought to unlock the cube.
It’s your fault for going after Ktinga in my opinion. If your a Full on Battleship player then yes the cube will suck for you because of ship parts/crews and the similarities between them cause they are battleships.
I said it’s good at ops42. I have people in my Alliance at ops 42 with a T6 Kelvin or Valdore who fly the cube and it’s working really good for them.
For me it’s game over on Battleships cause of the cube. I would have wanted a Dederidex or a Neghvar but the cube made them obsolete. It’s about choice now. The cube can replace every battleship.
You also knew that in the 20s and low 30s crystal is a problem. Did you build a Sally? I did. It was a pain but worth it. There are always painpoints where you have to choose.
