The equipment/akashi/luckmodding setups are more or less done; fixing problems as they're found should more or less settle the part of the equation as to 'what should ships use'.

The efficiency formations list should settle the part of the equation as to 'what ships should one use in repeatable quests'.

The calculator that's reaching its late stages of development now will answer the question as to 'what ships are ideal for crossing preboss nodes without taiha', for maps (esp. event, since Autumn is approaching fast) where preboss taiha is a large problem.

The only remaining angle yet to be covered is 'what ships should I take to sink X abyssal targets' - the defensive calc gives an idea what will survive their attacks, but does not provide information on what can sink them before they strike. This one is significantly simpler than defensive calculations, and thus can use a LUA table form. Attack power is the main, and compensating attack power with postcap attack bonuses should allow one to back-derive the absolute minimum attack power necessary to sink anything, as well as the minimum attack power to sink that ship at a 100% rate. Players can then aim for this attack power range with the lowest taiha risk from the defensive calc and the lowest sortie/repair costs, to derive what would be the 'ideal' fleet formations to clear any given Abyssal fleet with maximum efficiency.
