I agree with your approach - get to 5 stars as soon as possible. However, each fighter gets an extra two stars to start with, and upon DC gets several more stars before reactivating the fighter. I prefer to use these stars to ensure that everyone has at least one star in a missile weapon and a crushing weapon. I don't much see the point in 3 stars in a secondary weapon. The only reason to ever use the secondary weapon is because the enemy has extreme immunity to the primary weapon. I'd rather have a diverse selection of secondary weapons for these specialized cases. The rest of the time my characters ought to be using their primary weapon.
