Current state of the ops

In your list of over 1K Rogue bases defeated, it seems that is was a mix of ordinary Rogue bases (Level 30, 35, 40, Advanced Mission, and Ironstrike bases), Verkraft Thorium bases (VK35), Spec Ops bases (Most L45 bases, and some L70 bases) done approximately in the 2016 era, and where rerolls were allowed. You also hit one L60 resource base, which always give resource bonuses, and furthermore, the resource bonus results may vary between amounts when you hit the same level base over and over again, and may be anomalously low. Your record also took place at the time where Lost Tech were still Lost Tech and not downgraded to Thorium Tech.

I have noticed that some Ops were rarer despite being on the same rarity level - it seems Slay Bells was particularly common whereas Heavy Payload was much rarer despite both being Common. Additionally, SpecOps from L70 bases are always rare in your log, and are powerful ones featured on the store. I also saw another user obtaining the prized It's Electric Op in this video.

Now, there are only three known types of bases which still give Spec Op rolls:
 * Ironstrike bases
 * Ranges from L5 to L45. The L40 and L45 bases are rare.
 * The amount of metal or oil obtained is fixed when an Ironstrike base of a certain level is destroyed. The amount of metal or oil obtained is always 5M for a L30 base, and 8M for a L40 base.
 * If you obtain both, the same numbers apply to both resources: 5M metal and oil for a L30 base, 8M metal and oil for a L40 base.
 * Ironstrike L60 Base
 * This one always give a 65,000,000 metal and oil bonus, hence its high level and purpose.
 * Widowmaker Bases
 * This base is rare as it is based on a Legacy Unique unit no longer in development. It still spawns periodically outside of a monthly base schedule.
 * This one always yield a Spec Ops (all three will eventually be removed from store) related to the Widowmaker. They are: Prime Time, Arachnid Army, and Unstoppable.
