Your HQ level will usually be higher than your average ship levels unless you are only running a few ships. It's important to have a balanced selection of ships for different branching requirements or roles. Getting your ships to Kai so you can start modernizing them is a good break point early on until you have a good selection of ships (2~4) of each type. Then you can start pushing them (~2 of each type) towards Kai Ni or just higher levels for more difficult content.
