One more thing you should do and be aware of. Be patient. Wait as long as you can to start sortieing ships to E1. As you probably know by now, even on easy your ships will be tagged, so if you do bump your difficulty up in later maps you might scew yourself out of your best ships if the tags are different non overlapping colors. Another reason to wait is, admins are asking people to post api data  rather than screenshots. This might slow the flow of incoming information because most people don't know how or care to submit api data, but Anons don't get alerts and there are a  lot of people who don't login to wikia regularly so I'd expect there to still be people posting screenshots of enemy patterns.

The 16inch Triple Gun Mount Mk.7 and Ne Type Engine might very well be clear rewards but not necessarily on easy mode, so playing it safe and waiting to see if you've got a chance at getting either of them would be wise rather than hitting E1 right away only to realize you done fucked up.
