Sorry for cutting in but I suggest

Non-Drum Expeditions
 * Every sparkled ship increases the Great Success rate by 19%
 * However, all ships in the expedition fleet must be sparkled or the Great Success rate will drops to 0%
 * Thus, while 5 sparkled ships are enough for (roughly) 95% Great Success rate, there cannot be a sixth unsparkled ship.

Drum Expeditions (21,24,37,38,40)


 * Great Success can occurs even if not a single ship is sparkled.
 * The Great Success rate can be increased by:
 * Carrying more Drums than required. Hypothetically, the amount of excess Drums required is equal to 1.3*minimum required Drums to achieve the hard cap bonus for Great Success rate.
 * Sparkling ships. The Great Success rate increases by 16% per sparkled ship.
 * It is recommended to run at least 4 ships in an expedition fleet with only 4 sparkled ships and excess Drums to achieve maximum profit.

I'm not sure if it's possible to run less than 6 ships for drum expeditions so I'm leaving it at a theoretically possible "at least 4 ships" statement.
