That would be the case for me... unless if the day is spent on restocking resources lost. What I meant was I farmed literally just enough for one or two sorties per day total at that time (discounting pre-boss taihas and unsuccessful armor weakening trips where the boss at these nodes didn't even sink after yasen). I was very short on fuel and buckets (and near the end of the event, bauxite as well) at that time so I wasn't very keen on anything other than the boss node. That plus node support and the need to repair at least four to five ships every sortie didn't help matters either.

Not to mention I was kinda pushing it by trying with these fleets (image), because bar these composition I have nothing better to show for it (except that this screenshot was when I was kinda desperate, which explains why the second fleet are loaded with CI set-ups save for Tone and Sendai).

All in all I guess I'm just somehow being bitter that I needed to do the armor gimmick at all. But what's past is past. Sure enough I got better around right now but the time when the event starts will be a testament for that, and a lot of lesson was learned after Summer 2015 so I'll see where that brings me later. well, I get near-empty fuel and bucket during event for a few times, and after everytime my fuel reserve hit zero, I just dismiss all my battleforce and switch the account into resources stocking mode, and after like 2-3 days gathered 10-20k more fuels and a few more buckets then I continue on the event.
