I hope this can be answered alright.

Anyways, I've been using Advent a lot more than usual, but have rarely used Destra Crusaders. Really, I've been thinking that they're just too expensive and not strong enough to be worth using a lot, especially considering its Plasma upgrades. So is it worth upgrading and building Crusaders, or overall just better using the money to build Iluminators/Defense Vessels? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Oh, and I'm currently playing Vanilla 1.16.
