  • The rate is probably:
[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Trigger}_\text{Rate}\text{%} = \Biggl\lfloor \text{V} \times \sum_\text{Ships} \sqrt{\text{Lv}} + \text{W} \times \sum_\text{Ships} \sqrt{\text{Luck}} + \text{X} + \text{Y} \Biggr\rfloor }[/math]
With
  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Lv} }[/math] the Level of the participating ships,
  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Luck} }[/math] the Luck Luck of the participating ships,
  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{V & W} }[/math] some yet unknown bonus factors,
  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{X} }[/math] some yet unknown bonus variables,
  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Y} }[/math] some yet unknown base rate.
