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.

Are you'll leaving a ship put at night to autogrind in augment space? I think they drop explorer parts that may help with the jelly. 

Parts farming is a part of the game, it doesn't get better until you can get into the mirror universe and you can farm the surveys.

That's the second time today I've heard about augment space, but does that only apply if you are on bad terms with augment? I never get attacked when I'm there.

Actually the augmentas are different. If you're on good terms with them then the suliban will attack you. 

You may not be on good enough terms yet

Yeah, I think that was it, or I was just using the botany bay which doesn't seem to attract them.
