I have ships and am level 76 but my ships are terrible and I can’t really beat any of the daily events with them. Should I just use my ship store pointe to build up and 7 Star my toons first... or just wait a long long time and take ship shards while I spend months building up their respective pilots to 7 stars? Welcome any and all opinions

climbing in ship arena gives you crystals + more fleet arena tokens and in time you will be able to be buying zeta's also.
work on certain ships to build up the bugs are probably best with vader, phantom, ghost, poe + boba.
by working on ships you will be glad you did soon enough
Get better in Fleet to get more Fleet currency.
Get more Fleet Currency to buy Zeta materials.
Get more Zeta materials to do well in Squad Arena.
So with the exception of those three, you can ignore toons and do the above.
Chirrut and Ahsoka (Fulcrum) are useful but not required in the short term.
Zeb, Cad Bane (now), Biggs are the best characters to farm in that store.
IG-86 is good if you have Droids, Resistance Pilot is good if you run zFinn, Phasma is good for First Order, and MagmaTrooper is fairly useful.
I'd rank Bodhi, K2SO, Lumi, NS Initiate, Teebo, Dathcha, Poggle, and Tusken Raider as less valuable than the ships that rotate in that store. I forget all the ships, but I think Geonosians and Rebels show up there pretty frequently.
Use the currency to buy zetas.
At L76, OP is limited to 7* G9 pilots with one omega each. To beat the ship challenges in 2.0, minimum star level ships absolutely will not be enough even with pilots maxed out for L76. With the exception of Vader, all of the pilots can be farmed outside of fleet shipments. Fleet and GW shipments are the best sources for ship shards.
OP needs 6 DS ships and 6 LS ships for the capital ship challenges which are required for the higher tiers of the daily challenges. The LS capital ship challenges are trivial with a strong Biggs, Ghost, and Phantom II plus any three others which aren't complete scrubs. The Executrix challenge is another matter entirely. OP isn't going to get a 5* Executrix for the zeta mat challenge by L78 without 5-6* ships. Most of mine were 6* with 7* G9 pilots and I had to RNG it. Two months later, only the top 30 in my shard have 5* Executrix, and only the top 5 have 6* Executrix.
I did have three 7* pilots from my arena team though - Biggs, Consular and Kylo unmasked. It really helps.
Also, remember that each fleet arena contains much fewer people than each regular arena, so it's quite a bit easier to score near the top in fleet arena. Quite honestly, fleet arena is the easiest place to score lots of crystals on a regular basis, especially for people in newer shards.
