I can agree with your result. Although I'm not collecting data in a frequent rate I can still notice that when I ran expedition 21/37/38 with my default 1 CL 5 DD 15 drums fleet I'm getting more GSc than usual.

I only have E-5 left so I can now alternate between collecting data and visiting hell.

What I'm thinking of doing now is to do 4 additional small tests. One is the maximum drum accessible (mostly 18), then the mid quartile, and pick upper and lower quartile based from the minimum drum requirement of each expedition.

This way we can see a trend and figure out if it's linear relationship or not while not spending too much time on it (if it's linear then good, if not then more test at different point). Additional tests can be done if a maximum point where GSc became or reaching constant is shown.

I'm a bit confused on what you said here:

"It starts with a base rate of 15% with the minimum required drums, plus an extra % for each additional drum, generally up to another 15~20% (this might explain why I notice people finding exp38 gets GS less often than 37)  "

Either I misintepret it or the sentence is contradicting. If the base rate is 15% for minimum required drums then expedition 21, 37, 38 should give around the same GSc rate. Shouldn't it be that for each drum added, it increases the GSc rate by a certain, possibly constant rate?

P.S. I'm a bit sleepy so it might sound weird :V
