Im threading this because its not really answering a question anymore and is more meta conversion.
What are your thoughts on polaris sp5 in this case? oil cap 22 and level 80 means it can technically be engaged with even sooner, and the t2 138mm and t2 quad bofors are fairly usable as far as t2 gear goes
icy mural
yeah that's a good thought and that one too
event bosses tend not to have really strange gimmicks either although since the revamp they mostly need at least a little asw
or where you get boxed out of boss on auto
cerulean heart
event bosses differ time to time, polaris is rather straight forward
newer event WAs may also be slightly troublesome as they add the newer ones with subs
icy mural
the purple parts are significantly better than Ch6 and doesn't have the unfortunate lack of aircraft carriers
true oracle
polaris sp5 has 1 more fight than d1's, but offers less exp per battle, but has the far lower oil cap, if my math is right it costs less oil for a full sp5 run so its actually more exp efficient, though probably less coin efficient, i should just go test it
icy mural
what would be a recommended D1?
true oracle
Probably iris so you can move to D2?, either that or divergent chessboard or winters crown so you can move to D3
cerulean heart
none of the D1s have anything interesting but I'd imagine the older ones would be easier
another thing would be maybe looking at hard reqs since some may be easier to form fleets than others
true oracle
chessboard d1 has gold quad mags ig
icy mural
hmm yeah 184 oil D1 vs 164 SP5 it looks like.
true oracle
the extra fight in sp5 compensates for the individual battle exp being lower too, ignoring loot it should be better than d1's
also no hard mode restrictions.
just feels weird to recommend polaris of all things as a grind spot
cerulean heart
it's not a good grind spot but it's something newer players can work with if they can't access better
true oracle
I mean, its better than 8-1 which is the closest level equivelent
cerulean heart
yeh
true oracle
20% less exp per battle, but oil cap of 22, sorta makes it a wash (though in fairness sp5 is 6 mob fights, its probably harder than 8-1)
true oracle
tested sp5 @icy mural , in terms of coin, its hot trash compared to even 9-1 at ~400 per clear
this said a fleet of 75-80 ships that was having minor consistency problems on 9-1 safe just steamrolled the mobs in sp5 lethal, having 1 extra mob fight was a non-issue. sp5 is very accessible
icy mural
nice
