I've been full clearing OpSI every month and I really think OpSi needs some form of making it easier/faster every month instead of having to do the same grind every single month.
It would help if a lot of the filler stuff got removed. There's no real reason for the shop to have a bunch of random blue/purple materials except padding the time it takes you to buy out the good items in the shop, thus forcing you to play it more.
Resource nodes are completely useless. C6 zones resource nodes should at least have a chance to give purple plates.
You end up spending hours burning thousands of AP on cat nodes to get maybe 5 or so gold plates.
I almost want to also say theres no need for c1-c3 loggers.
Im rambling, but overall, once you get the gear you want from Gear lab, OpSi feels like a massive time sink just for some gold plates and you get horrible exp and no ship affection.
There needs to be improvements in either how long it takes to use your AP to get rewards, or the rewards that you get in general.
The easiest solution atm would be to add a button that just restarts the zone after autoclearing. at least then spamming c6 zones wouldnt be as tedious, improving the drops from resource nodes, and removing a lot of the garbage from the port shops
