For what it's worth, I spent on my first four episodes (from Unleash the Beasts to the first episode with R5s) and finished no higher than 216th. I also had to spend to T2 in my first episode back from my hiatus.

Point being that an established player with a solid T2 track record shouldn't have to spend anything more than $30ish an episode to do so... and that money is for incidentals, like a weapons bridge run or some cheap resources to toss on the pile.
