Rare Ultra Strikes?

tl;dr - Why are Ultra Strikes so rare? Any tips to gain them more consistently would be great! Despite hacking enemy portals and dropping an ITO EN Transmuter (-) on my own portal. Not getting much.

So Ultra Strikes are listed as very common on the wiki, but they sure don't feel like they are. XMPs are definitely very common though. I'm usually swimming in XMPs, but starving for Ultras, which are obviously essential for taking down well-defended portals.

Especially given my current Access Level of 6 (almost 7), and being in an area with much higher level players than I, Ultras come in handy. I'm definitely having a blast taking down many fields/links boosting my AP gain, but I'm burning Ultras without gaining much back through hacking.

Even hacking a L7 enemy portal that had multi-hacks and heat sinks on it didn't offer much. Even throwing on my ITO EN Transmuter (-) on my own nearby portal isn't giving that much. Definitely swimming in XMPs no problem. I could ask my nearby teammates, but feel it would defeat the point of going out and hacking. Hope I get lucky and get a Quantum Capsule to drop soon.

Is there something I'm missing? Any tips for gaining more Ultras consistently is appreciated.
