gold deals are still kinda worth it - that's INSTANT components rather than wait-hours-or-days-for components. You can still save up gold to buy what you don't produce in components - so if you want a lance, a rog, a galahad, a fury, etc, then you can produce most of them, but save up gold to buy something else. Additionally, some of the cheaper gold items don't make sense to produce cost-wise. You can also use gold for boosters, paint jobs, speed ups, hangar slots, hangars, etc.
