It's possible to get gold characters without spending money, but it's rare and very slow. Play the weekend events hard to get good stuff. Also, you'll sometimes randomly get rare personnel in portal draws or even as the occasional gift from the developers (they gave everyone a gold Seven in Silver last week to celebrate the game's anniversary).

That said, it's nice to have a little dilithium here and there to supplement things a bit. If you get the monthly pass it's a great deal with 100 dilithium a day for 30 days, and it's only $3.99 US. Even without spending money, you can earn dilithium through achievements such as acquiring and immortalizing certain quantities of personnel. But don't feel required to spend money if you don't want to - you can certainly enjoy the game without it.

If you do decide to make a purchase, the top priorities on what to use dilithium on are increasing shuttle bays so you can send out more shuttle missions at a time, and increasing your crew slots so you can hold more active crew members.

Third icon from bottom left (Big ship and little ship) is the fleet button - scroll far right in there then down (under settings) and there is a button to leave your fleet.

Once that's done you should be able to search for a new fleet.

The best way to level up Gold characters is possibly Honor - it takes a lot of it, but you can earn it for free doing Voyages and airlocking the excess characters you win. The daily fleet awards provide Honor too - having more people help will benefit everyone there!

Fleet name: Continuing Committee (I don't recall if that had been answered).

How big are people's file sizes? Mine is over 3.7GB and that seems excessive....

You're doing better than me:

240/735 - Immortalized
3/307 - Legendary
83/273 - Super Rare
77/78 - Rare
50/50 - Uncommon
27/27 - Common

I did manage to get The Caretaker and Armus from the Gauntlet though. :)
I have a lot characters that are max level and gear, just need one more star. So I'm grinding honor and hoping for the occasional lucky pull...

Another update - there really should be an achievement of some sort for having immortalized more than 25 Legendary characters!

421 - Immortalized

26 - Legendary
239 - Super Rare
79 - Rare
50 - Uncommon
27 - Common
