It is getting increasingly harder to keep up with the game and to build new ships etc because of resources. Kixeye keeps increasing the resources required. The Manticore is 200m of each type just to build one hull. That is INSANE! But they don't increase the availability. All that does in increase the grind and reduce the fun in the game. Only someone crazy would ever coin resources.
C'mon Kixeye, think about the
fun for once. This is not fun.
I know all the tips and tricks about which targets to hit, Snowfall campaign, recycling walls and Onslaughts but sheesh! Why should we have to work so hard just for this. There is no time left to have fun.
What does everyone else think? Is this an issue for you?
Remember Kixeye, PLAYERS FIRST!

The fix is obvious, but I doubt Kixeye will do anything.
So, these campaigns remain available whenever I need res. My favorite is "Death Grip" with buccs. First 6 stages gives close to 400% twice.
Edit: It takes about 10 mins for 6 stages.
You should be able to fill up your warehouses quickly. 200mil res are laughable, if you have your warehouses fully upgraded.
Decoding Pirateslangword "F.A.R.M." = Foolish Amateur Reaches Midgame
L30 Scourge base part targets pay out 117 million res.
Drac bases pay out 155 million.
For 30s, I use a Punisher & 3 thud citadels with large cargo holds & a Buc with those (but 4) same citadels for Drac bases.
Doesn't take too long to fill up that way.
I did notice this last raid the targets didn’t pay out a lot of res but otherwise, and I don’t have a specific explanation for this, my wharehouses are cubed usually. The pursuit of the other three resources and the fm are all I really do. One thing though, if for some reason I do want to fill up quickly, I leave my old campaigns undone since the final ship isn’t useful anyway, specifically snowfall. The first instance is 100+ million, rinse repeat.
Those are REs which most of players are giving very little to no attention at all, unless it is a low level OP, which means less storage too.
Once you are able to collect Uranium, Base Parts and Titaniums, primary resources go along with them. as most of REs comes from hitting any buildings on PVE/PVP targets.
Worst case there is always cargo with W. rat crew. Goes faster then you think.
But they sure as hell can auto Snowfall and have enough resource capacity to hold everything from the first 2 battles.
I know it is a pain as to have fast res runs out... What I tell my alliance mates is:
Icebreakers, mono with zelos, dragons to hit lvl 61garrison targets.. Two usually fills them to 500%....skys to hit level 45 titanium targets, one is enough there takes no time at all... And buccs, cannonner hitting 51 grids.. Or 52.. What ever they are
I use my Icebreakers to hit 111s in the fm. One garrison is 450% for a fleet of IBs. Return home after every hit and I’m cubed before I reach 1million points.
Res is nothing, uranium is a hassle, but easy just hitting DUBs. It’s titanium and base parts that I struggle. Even more so now that they’re switching to legion colonies and I only have cannoneers to hit them. Need to build buccs asap. For titanium the only assault fleet I have is mantis and they don’t do so well in nav relays.
