I've never really considered B1, nor running 35 all day when doing pure Bauxite collection. This is most useful advice, thank you to both of you.

Last event sapped my resourced heavily when I was farming for new ships, so I doubt I'll make 50k Bauxite. As long as I can just get enough buckets together I'll be happy. Steel, Fuel and Ammo sort themselves out, thankfully. If the next event is Large Scale or another Large-disguised-as-Medium Scale, I'm fucked though. I personally don't care for B1 because the requirements for Great Success are up in the air (not unlike the A1-A3 quests) in that sparkling is a factor, but there are some other things going on as well that determine GS. This being said, because sparkling is a factor, it also means that time/resources have to be spent to get some of the fleet sparkled and with a 35-minute turnaround you will go through those sparkles fast. Especially when you consider that an AV and CL are part of those costs. ...the upshot though is the auto-bucket on GS.

I personally prefer #36 for overnights/work because CLs are lighter on resources than CAs are *and* GS gives an auto-bucket as well.

One of the secrets to getting a lot of resources lies in making use of regular and Toku Daihatsu, Kinu K2 (if you have her), and Great Success because in the right combination, you can almost double what's brought in on an expedition.
