Because of my prep and paranoia for my first full (and large-scale to boot!) event, I got myself into the habit of using buckets 'only when necessary'. So that means in most cases, I'm doing most of my sorties with ships with some sort of damage; once they get to somewhere near 'Medium' I'll cycle them out.

If a ship's repair time is 0-3 hours, she goes in the dock. If the time is 4-6 hours, she gets put on-hold until I go to bed (4-8 hours and she waits until I go to work in the morning). Anything 9+ hours gets a bucket.

The biggest exceptions to this outside of events is if I'm training that particular ship (for example, CVL Chiyoda and Chitose are part of my 4-3 Training group right now so if one of them gets popped and I'm still using that fleet, she gets a bucket) or if I'm doing something like the monthly EOs or some quest that needs me to hit a boss multiple times.

...this habit has caused me to amass about 400 buckets between the end of Fall and now...
