I dont know if anyone else has asked this - but can the Alpha letters for the sectors be changed to numbers? The map is confusing and after the 27th sector moving into double Alphas makes it worse

I also can't get above a C rating (and no otters) with my builds. I have two CWCC and two CWUS(Syld).. basically all 160+ surv, at least 40 ret, and 100 favor. is anyone else having luck with better ratings with other builds? Would love some advice!

My translation of sub stats is:
each item requires specific minimum surv with rare item having the highest minimum required surv
then Favor increases drop rate RNG for rare stuff
Retrieval increases RNG for more yields

I got my minion from sector 7 with surv of 145 so I think this (or a bit lower) is the minimum requirement, then you just need to push more favor to increase the drop rate.
and after all that, it's subject to RNG. You could be having 99% quality on a craft then end up with NQ item.

this is just my thoughts, I could be wrong

Unrecorded items bolded for clarity.

Could someone explain to me what this means? On Deep Sea Site 7 it reads out, as you can see, that the current submersible condition prevents further exploration. What does that even mean? The submarine has 155 Surveillance and 150 favour ... Other stats as I understood it wouldn't affect my chances of finding items? I specifically thought I'd built a submersible intended for finding rare items?

Your retrieval is too low. With high retrieval you can pull in multiple items from the same zone.

I'm convinced favor is junk. The other 4 stats add up to 80 for Shark, 85 for Unkiu, 90 for Whale, 95 for Coelacanth, and 100 for Syldra for every single piece, with a random number for favor. My guess is that it only affects if you get HQ or NQ of an item.

You are just not getting good RNG
I have 21 submarines and I can say for sure the drop rate for the Otter minion is much lower than other rare items

Remember good stats give you better RNG, but it's still rng at the end

Over all pretty poor results, both missions Rating C
Both Submarines are CCSC builds.
