    Okay, according to our data, the super rare items have an observed drop rate of 1% in 1* sectors, 2.5% in 2* sectors, 3.5% in 3* and 4* sectors, and 4.5% in 5* sectors. Overall, the drop rate is ~2.3%. This is ignoring other factors, such as ship stats. The total sample size for the data is 3,000 item retrievals, but the data clusters at the start, so the data for the later areas is less good.

    Observed drop rates:
    Code:
    	Schmtc / Spcl	FC Craft Mat	Unique Craf Mat	Gen Craft Mat	Materia		Crystal		Total
    	-------------	------------	---------------	-------------	-------		-------		-----
     All	783 (26.6%)	741 (25.2%)	67 (2.3%)	212 (7.2%)	481 (16.3%)	659 (22.4%)	2943
    -----	-------------	------------	---------------	-------------	-------		-------		-----
    01-16	753 (26.9%)	693 (24.7%)	61 (2.2%)	200 (7.1%)	437 (15.6%)	659 (23.5%)	2803
    17-22	30 (21.4%)	48 (34.3%)	6 (4.3%)	12 (8.6%)	44 (31.4%)	0 (0.0%)	140
    -----	-------------	------------	---------------	-------------	-------		-------		-----
    01-05	291 (24.8%)	312 (26.6%)	13 (1.1%)	75 (6.4%)	174 (14.8%)	308 (26.3%)	1173
    06-08	201 (28.4%)	166 (23.5%)	18 (2.5%)	43 (6.1%)	112 (15.8%)	167 (23.6%)	707
    09-11	156 (28.5%)	126 (23.0%)	19 (3.5%)	43 (7.8%)	82 (15.0%)	122 (22.3%)	548
    12-14	73 (26.3%)	67 (24.1%)	10 (3.6%)	23 (8.3%)	52 (18.7%)	53 (19.1%)	278
    15-16	32 (33.0%)	22 (22.7%)	1 (1.0%)	16 (16.5%)	17 (17.5%)	9 (9.3%)	97
    17-22	30 (21.4%)	48 (34.3%)	6 (4.3%)	12 (8.6%)	44 (31.4%)	0 (0.0%)	140

    I suppose I may just getting lucky with my explorations, but ever since I added the Tatanora aft or forecastle to my 2 lvl 50 airships, I've seemingly been bringing back a lot of the rarer items. It'll be interesting to see how favor, retrieval and/or surveillance correlate with the rare item return, both in rate and in number.

    What do you guys think of these designs? Been playing with the builder a bit, our FC only has 2 airships atm but I am planning for the future at level 50.

    Invincible Hull, Bronco Rigging, Tatanora Fore/Aft Castle
    Surveillance 120, Retrieval 140, Speed 50, Range 84, Favor 136

    Or replace the hull and aftcastle with Enterprise and Odyssey
    Surveillance 124, Retrieval 126, Speed 54, Range 98, Favor 132

    Well, there's a reason those are the first two ships I list in my ship designs part of the guide xD Those are both solid. I think I prefer the latter one though since you can hit more sectors in one trip. It helps offset the slowness by reducing overall travel times.
