Fleet challenge Omega and Zeta Material probabilities
Everyone wants to be able to forecast their zeta material tokens in order to estimate the amount of time it will take to get those 20 zeta tokens. We can get them from irregular events (unpredicatable) and also buy them from the fleet arena store (quite predictable). That leaves us with the Fleet Challenges for ship ability materials which is quite regular but for unpredictable amounts.
A year ago I started to record my omega and zeta material wins from the Fleet Challenges and recorded each one with the exception of three separate fortnights of results. The following analysis is based on this data only.

The super-short here and now tl;dr:
YMMV. Comments welcome.
