Alright so I was doing exp21 with level 26 FS and level 1 derps, progressed well (12 runs, no GS).

But I started pondering on some things and figured there's some problems with using exp21 to test this. Firstly let me go over the three scenarios that would need to be tested regarding levels:


 * Scenario 1 - Both FS and total fleet level at or very close to minimum requirements
 * Scenario 2 - FS level req greatly exceeded, but total fleet level at or very close to minimum level req
 * Scenario 3 - FS at or very close to minimum lvl req while total lvl req is greatly exceeded

As we already know, the gap between the two level requirements for exp21 is so close, making it a real pain in the ass to test GS rates with scenario 1 (in hindsight, a level 26 FS was cheating) and making scenario 2 pretty much impossible. It would be easier to test the first two scenarios using exp37.

I understand dedicated testing of level requirements opens up a whole new can of worms, but as Homu mentioned, verifying the (in)significance of levels in a more focused approach would help clear any doubts about what we've found so far. I would appreciate both your thoughts on this
