===Scrap Locking===
+
It is currently believed that there is a system ("scrap locking") preventing players from obtaining a disproportionately high amount of some "rarer/valuable" ships.
+
*This system seems to target ships that specifically grant desirable equipment such as [[Prinz Eugen]], {{Class|Fletcher}}, [[USN]] battleships, and ships that have other desirable uses such as [[DE]] with [[Modernization#Special Modernizations|special modfodding]].
+
*This is assumed to be a way to nerf workarounds of the above-mentioned dupe limitations, notably scrapping ships as soon as their desirable equipment obtained, in order to keep a lower "dupe count" and so a better drop rate.
−
To work around dupe limitations, there are strategies around scrapping (including [[Modernization|modfodding]]) ships once their desirable equipments have been obtained, in order to keep your "dupe count" on those ships appear lower.

This system's inner workings are not fully understood, however, there is substantial evidence of its existence through statistical feasibility: [https://x.com/zekamashinet/status/1713210060938379475].

*"Scrapping" here refers to any way of "decommissioning" a ship, aka '''"[[Scrap|dismantling]]", "[[Modernization|modfodding]]", or "sinking"'''.
