''I got some complaints from readers saying the table where I wrote the amount of point you can get in a map per hour maybe a bit overestimated''. Let's agree one thing though: '''I assume the best case scenario of no retreats, all the shipgirls are lv 99 and you blocked the drops''', this way, you can actually get enough amount of points as stated in the table. Up to you to believe or not then.

*Using 3-4 as the threshold for "Desperate Spamming" (as in, you pretty much won't spam this map unless you are really out of time and you are willing to trade the cost just for the fastest rpt gain), any ranking comp that almost hit or exceed the resource usage of 3-4 ranking '''should not be considered''' in the future as it's too expensive. Therefore, as a rule of thumb, if a ranking comp have the sum of '''fuel and ammo > 400''', it should be disregarded as it's too inefficient.

**By that logic, map 4-5 resource usage ''does'' exceed the 400 limit, but I decided to leave it there, as the boss node of 4-5 has a lot of good drops that you maybe interested in. Also, it only barely passes the 400 limit so I can give it an exception for now.
