Are your HQ 80? if around 75+, I would recommend to lvl it first after exam before starting the event to unlock hard mode for better rewards.

If you are hardcore expediting during the event/after exam, soft cap should be no problem like Fall event last year unlike summer which span over 3+ weeks worth of resources, while falls will be done in 2 weeks.

I would recommend not to do easy mode all the way as you might miss good hard mode equipment available to you in the early maps.

And IMO don't spend too much time on farming for ship drop that you miss alot of reward, as they will eventually come to you when you grow more in the future, btw they are not critical to have at least for now, else they will have consideration drop in normal maps, Akashi, Ooyodo ect..
