Found that if you click Keep Looking, several times you will find a smaller ship that is either wealthy or jackpot for resources. The trick is to look for smaller ships than yours, with lower trophy count belonging to unknown alliances. These are penny ante ships, since you only get one trophy, but if you need the resources…well, they are there for the taking. Also found some larger ships, that don't have good AIs, and follow the general rule of wealthy or jackpot, lower trophies and unknown alliance. Though be careful, not all are easy. This certainly beats the missions for resources. If you get these ships it can also help bring your crew level up.

Thought it didn't work any more, but if you keep going jackpot. Many times I get exasperated with how many ships you have to skip, and choose a ship that doesn't pay so well. Just keep going (maybe 10-20 times). Here is a screenshot of how the penny ante ships look, and another of the reward with no damage Remember the keys to find a Penny Ante ship: Trophies: lower Resources (specially the one you are interested): Medium (depends how bored you are at searching), Wealthy, or Jackpot. Be careful if it only has minerals, might be a strong opponent that used all the gas. Alliance: Not one of the top 10 or those that are well known Ship size: Actually it can be any size (smaller, or even a level 10 if your ship can take a small beating). Start small and experiment with larger ships. I've been doing at least a million in gas every night for about a week. Depending on your ship and trophies you might get different results. Do have better luck at the end of the night, than at other times. Just try different times, and see how good the fishing is.

Danger, Will Robinson! Warning! Warning! Make sure you don't loose to a penny ship. You can loose 99 trophies, unless that is what you wanted to do

Almost had that happen just now. No lasers so BURNING through missiles and cannons. Taking down a juicy one and ran out of missiles. Watching cannon trickle down 2% a time and only one defender in the air. 12%, 10%, 8%, finally boom, he's down. Scary though. Don't really realize how fast your missiles can go when you have so many.

lol, keep forgetting to reload them. Went onto one battle with just a few penetrators. Felt I was shooting blanks, for only had jungles left. Think that's when I lost the 99 Don't do it. Try to get more after each battle. However, you just want one more penny
