Depending on how long you expose yourself to the game and what not it usually takes about a month before you can start getting on your feet with the major resources. That is if provided you play KC virtually every day with at least eight hours worth of exposure.

There isn't really an efficient way around that HQ level really, you're also bound by for instance 2 fleets (out of 4) and probably not knowing where are the best places to "forage" for resources as well as the necessary ships, maps, and what not.

For now I would focus on doing dailies and weeklies Quests and for those resources, to let them regenerate naturally for the time being.
