yeah I tried that in the beginning as well. Did #21 + 3 sparkle ships to test it and the first one came back with normal success, the 2nd one came back with Great Success. At that point in time I just thought about testing it myself and I'm now 0 out of 15 times Great Success. Did that without sparkle to get a decent "base" and calculate what makes sense.

That's ridicoulously unlikely to happen if it's even close to 50%. 0.5^15 makes... 0.000030517578125 so that should happen about 3 times in 100,000 runs...

Heck, at this point I think I'm just going to sparkle all 5 up to 85 in 1-5 and just run that... either I'm bugging out the game or I'm making some super obvious mistake that I can't seem to find or I'm truly being shafted by RND.
