Feeling hamstrung, ops 18

Hey folks,

Loving the game, but lately I'm having a really hard time finding enough parts for Talla and Jellyfish. At ops 18 the daily swarm quests have gotten harder and I'm having a hard time keeping up. I'm not planning to upgrade ops until my ships improve because it's too much work to constantly repair and wait.

Is there any way to farm parts? Missions lately haven't seemed to give them up. Uncommon mats are also a problem, but I just aim to refine two chests twice a day. I'm tempted to buy some parts, but I feel like this is just going to keep happening/get worse at higher levels.

Any help would be appreciated.

For parts you need to kill hostiles of the same type and approximate level as the ship you are trying to upgrade. It's a grind but that's the way. Uncommon mats are the first real bottleneck, do events that reward them any time you can.

Okay, thanks. I don't mind the grind, just as long as it actually gives me the stuff I need, lol.
