==Drop caps==
 +
The drop caps (only applicable for few ships), is when some "rarer/more valuable" ships are limited in how many copies can be owned at once ("dupe cap") or on how many can be dropped in a certain period of time ("overfishing cap"). This way, the majority of ships can be dropped an infinite amount of time (certain players have 200+ copies of a ship), but certain ships will have an arbitrary limit:

*Unlikely, for [[Akashi]] on [[1-5]] and [[3-5]], and [[Ooyodo]] on [[1-6]], they will drop '''only''' if currently not possessed, meaning that duplicates cannot be dropped here (dupes are still possible on any other location).

**Usually, the amount of a given ship being possessed will affect the drop rate, the more ships the worse the rate, down to 0 %.

==Drop Theory==
 +
 +
On every map in the game, there are two tables determining the ship being dropped. One table is for the boss node and the other is for normal nodes. In regards to the drop mechanic if there are multiple boss nodes on the map (W7 or event) only the last one is considered a boss node and the other are considered normal nodes.
 +
These tables have 100 rows numbered from 1 to 100 and each row contains a ship or is empty. The same ship can be on multiple rows. Boss table seems to never have empty rows.
 +
Note that rare ships are at the beginning of the table and the empty rows are always at the end.
 +
 +
Once the battle is finished the process that choise the drop is as follows:
 +
# The game rolls if there is a drop or not with the following rates:
 +
#* Normal nodes:
 +
#** S: 70%,
 +
#** A: 60%,
 +
#** B: 70%,
 +
#* Boss nodes:
 +
#** 100%,
 +
# The game will roll a random whole number between two boundaries included <math>ID=Rand(a,b)</math>,
 +
#* The boundaries depend on the victory rank,
 +
#** S: 1-49,
 +
#** A: 20-79,
 +
#** B: 50-99,
 +
# An "offset" is added to the generated number. <math>ID=ID+OFFSET</math>,
 +
#* The offset is solely determined by the enemy formation, each one has a fixed offset,
 +
#** As a general rule easy enemy formation especially on normal nodes have a higher offset,
 +
# The resulting number <math>ID</math> determines which row of the table will be chosen (the row may be empty resulting in no drop).
 +
[https://kancolle.fandom.com/wiki/User_blog:Fouryuu/Drop_Mechanics]
 +
 +
;Pratical conclusion
 +
* In a specific node, in a specific enemy formation, in a specific victory rank, 50 rows from the drop table will be selectable by the procedure and each one of them has a 2% chance to be selected.
 +
* If a correctly filtered drop sample shows drop rates that are not multiple of 2%, that means these drops are conditional.
 +
 +
===Conditionnal Drop===
 +
 +
In some cases, some rows in a table may have a second ship that will replace the normal drop when some conditions are met.
 +
This is used for the following mechanics:
 +
* Limited time drop
 +
* DE "overfishing"
 +
* Drop caps
 +
* May include other things
 +
** For example the very high drop rate of [[Yamakaze]] during some events on nodes close to where she sunk.
