Mhm, that is actually one of the issues I've bumped around recently while calculating the expenses. Basically, running a SS is cheaper in fuel, but a Mutsuki class DD is readily available for everyone. I have some plans trying to implement this idea in case users opt to run with subs instead of DDs, but I guess I still need to find out how most of the wiki stuff works.

As for scrap costs from drops, people will get at most 1 fuel and 1 ammo per scrap depending on the ship, but that is assuming that people will scrap their ships. Seeing as there are other factors like people modernizing them or even sinking them during the sparkling runs, I have opted to leave this out in the calculations. I can always attempt to implement this though, if this starts to become an issue.

For sparkling expenses, I have used the cost of running 1-1 x 3 as reference. While there is probably a more effective method of sparkling, like 1-5 for SS, this is the closest way I could come up with to calculate the sparkling expenses. I used the following ships as references:

SS Iku 12/24

DD Mutsuki 18/18

CL Tenryuu 30/24

CA Aoba 42/60

AV Chiyoda 42/42

The above references are the numbers from the least expensive ships, so the costs will probably increase if you decide to use other ships. Since event-only ships aren't readily available for everyone, I've excluded them as candidates for my calculations (Akitsushima, etc).

Also, thanks for the reminder, I edited the Reward section to redirect users to that page. :)
