The "drop cap" (only applicable for few ships), is when some "rarer/valuable" ships are limited in how many copies can be obtained. It is believed to be mostly node-based, but some reports suggest it can be also world-wide, or even game-wide. It can take the form of a "'''Dupe Cap'''" or an "'''Overfishing Cap'''".

*This can also come in a diminishing drop rate as the amount of duplicates increases, with their drop rate falling to zero when this cap is reached, and being reseted back if the duplicates are "removed" (scrapped, fodder uses, sunk...), unless it is also affected by some "[[#Scrap Locking|Scrap Locking]]".

*Famously, for [[Akashi]] on [[2-5]]'s boss node, she will drop '''only''' if currently not possessed, meaning that duplicates cannot be dropped here (dupes are still possible on any other location).
