Board Thread:Fleet's Prepared-ness/@comment-26350186-20151016180639

Hello all. Thanks so much for helping me last summer. I'm ashamed to admit I backed away from hard after E-1 and did the event on medium, save for E-7 which I did on easy. I did get all the farming I wanted done, but I do regret my choice in the clarity of hindsight. So this time for sure, I want to go hard mode all the way.

I'm pretty confident in my ships and their levels this time around, but I don't want to get cocky, so any advice on any ships that could use some more levels / ships I should run out and get would be appreciated. (I've been trying to build Taihou since the end of Summer event, but she doesn't seem to like me. Stopped for now since I'm stockpiling for Fall)

I think my weakest area by far is equipment, and I've been doing what I can with what I have, but screws are limited and I'd appreciate input on the best way to optimize my gear with my time (and screws) remaining. (I know upgrades are pretty haphazard, sorry about that)
