Somehow i feel this thread is exactly for me. I was and still am f2p apart from 2 VIP purchases, and all that i got till know was 99% with time and luck.
One would be amused to know i scrap almost everything i get as because on one side i know i can manage with any setup, and one side i need the parts for which am not-so-patient.
So i believe playing normally i got a lot of items some of which i regret scraping, especially as i get dupes of something i scraped before. Like say my epic t4 tesla bolt which i had, if i get a new epic tesla bolt now, i think 'once upon a time i had a t4 epic bolt. Also two dupes to make it t5, and i scraped that. So whats the point of collecting dupes again' and so i scrap that dupe i get too, though i really like and want tesla bolt (example).
If i list my biggest regrets, they would be scrapping of my yellows, i.e. -
A legendary overboost (for an f2p its a lot), a t4 epic tesla bolt along with two dupes i kept for t5, one t4 rare overboost, two kept as dupes, then two t4 rare nitros, two epic tesla shields, and three rare ones. (Which was not much time back, excluding all preivous yellows i got)
Next up i regret scrapping my epic t2 railgun, along with my t4 rare railgun and two dupes i kept for it, and also my t4 rare missiles and t5 rare explo. (I do shitty things right? But thats cause i never want to wait for parts, just buy a few new, and recycle the rest by scrapping)
Lastly, i regret scrapping my t2 epic turbo when i was in my mk3-4s along with all the epic big shields (thats why am still stuck with a rare big shield while most of my mates have epic t4-5) and bandages that came along the way. (Nvm the rudders and lubes)
Also regret scraping t3 epic repair bolt, t2 epic repair box and inumerous rare greens, as i loved to play fixer for the short span of time i was too (but it reduced my k/d ratio by a drastic difference
).
Here's a pictorial evidence of some of the few things i scraped -

While there are some things i dont regret scrapping -
T5 rare cannon, two t5 rare snipers, epics of every other item apart from explo/rail/sniper/missiles.

Edit :
If i evaluate (%) wise, i've scraped 90% of my epics (except for the ones i currently have in my setup : LRM/Sniper/Railgun) like carronade king and 99.9% of all my rares (only ones i have now are rare railgun dupes am waiting to remake one to t5).
