Took Spec Ops 100 for the Ruined Cable, farmed all resources point but get none, then abandon the operation to retry it because I think it'll only disappear if I completed it. Turned out it's gone even if you failed. Even not discounting the RNG factor when farming resources point, the idea of placing one material on a one-time-only mission that you received after doing bunch of contributions, but then it's not guaranteed for you to have it!
I'm done with this game (unless I can someone to adhoc coop with reliably). I've finished the story but the absurdity of the RNG really pushed me. Freedom Wars gameplay is really great, holding so much potential. I'm not against random factor, but with all that random number generator involved here, it's just too much for me. I sincerely hope that they tone down the over gratuitous RNG in the expansion, if they really planned it at all (the sales overseas especially East Asia seems amazing, so it could be there).
