That shouldn't stop you from participating. The devs have never made it impossible to reach a boss node just because you lack a certain type of ship, only harder (Well, except for 6-1, but by that point you simply have to have all types covered). Besides, you'll level up eventually, so you might as well get it over with. Also, events usually have rare or undroppable ships as drops on boss nodes and even regular nodes, so even if you don't manage to clear the event, you can still go on a happy farming spree.
