How many quests have been associated with Prinz Eugen, Akizuki and the myriad of other unique ships (except Unryuu who was an event drop and is now everywhere you look)? Expeditions are also usually not associated with unique ships with exception of one and the other is now obtainable at multiple locations. The only concern that is considerable is future pathing in events which quit a few have the cringworthy suspicion that it will be Hayasui. The devs are pretty good about making content available to all since some people may have missed this event due to work, school. vacation or unable to complete the event.

As for the equipment, in my personal situation I've made more than enough of her guns but I see your point on her being good support; I just don't particularly need it. AACIs don't really shut down the entire enemy air group and if you're without CV(L)s to begin with you're on 3-5G and already praying to RNG-sama that they miss and hoping that the sparkle holds up on evasion. If we learned anything from this event it's the importance of ships like Abukuma with first strikes, high luck DD/CAs performing clutch torpedo cut-ins and if you're going after installations you're equipping Type 3 Shells across the board (something a DD can't equip). It's why I say the poor Zukis, whilst cute as heck, just aren't worth the space.

Now if this event had a Maya like AA-CA, I'd thow my curent post-event 100k resources at it without hesitation. I just see a 3 slot DD with low luck and torpedo rating though and... yeah... I just can't see myself really doing that. Leveling a second Maya would actually be cheaper and more rewarding in the end (would cost you roughly around 28000 to 48000 resources depending on your fleet and without doing PvP to go 1 to 75, plus you're leveling 5 other ships and it would cost you 0-10 buckets depending on RNG). The only drawback to that is if/when they shiplock ship names instead of shiplocking ship slots you're then salty because you need a Zuki. Hopefully if they do that we have a second Maya-esque girl available.
