Every single expedition ive ever sent with 6 sparkled ships has been GS. I run 36,37 every night and in past I have ran expedition 5 and 6 daily with full sparkled ships for LSC or stockpiling. I would be really concerned about observation bias 19% isnt very different than 16% and a bit of misreporting and randomness will make it difficult to discern any small difference. That is one of the reasons I don't test anything other than 100%. I would really recommend trying to have some automated logging process to validate the authenticity of the data. Otherwise it will be nearly impossible to figure out actual rates with any certainty. Kind of like the construction log reports in past I guess.

In past I remember I got 100% success rate with 3 sparkled ships running daily expedition 21 but that has greatly changed and now I require 4 sparkled ships. So I think that the drum expeditions have changed. Possibly drums affecting rate as well.
