''Instead, if you have 4/6 ships sparkled, the chance is near 100%. ''

That's total bull. There's either a hard cap on the rate boost from sparkling, or there's some pretty severe diminished returns in the works over there. It's been tested over and over again that you still don't get anywhere near 100% with 6 sparkled ships.

wikiwiki did update their test results though (last updated: 2015/4/22), 4 sparkled ships + 1 drum overload for expedition 21 and 37 gives near 100% GS, and for expedition 38, 4 sparkled ships + 2 drums overload. The sample size is small (just 100 tries for each), but 100/100 is saying something.
