Submersible Information Thread

Nautical maps, just providing info so far, I had my sub out at Deep-sea site 7 and the Sunken vault. It doesnt say on my Voyage log which one triggered that nautical map though. I unlocked The Sea of Ashe map, Rank 50 South Isle of Zozonan.

EDIT: Sent my first ship out to the new South Isle of Zozanan and it brought me back Pure Titanium Ore. Ship Surveillance stats are 170 -
The other one brought me back... >.> Earth Crystals. Lame. Surveillance stats on that one are 95 .

After my first voyage to Zozonan it unlocked Wreckage of the Windwalker.

I checked in three subs from DSS7 and none of them triggered the new area. My three subs that went to Sunken Vault triggered it immediately.

Edit: Make that six subs from DSS7 and no new area trigger. I don't think you can get it from DSS7.

Make sure to report Surveillance stats with any item discoveries made. This will help narrow down the Minimum Surveillance Requirements per item and I'd like to see a good documentation of that for theorycrafting this time around.

@Auric, did you find any Abroader Otters post-5.0?

Where does the cocobolo lumber come from?

*edit never mind the question was answered.

In order to exchange to the new framed components, do we have to craft new ones to exchange? Or is there a way that we can take the existing ones off the subs?

You'd have to have a part to swap it with first.

EDIT: even though my second submarine didn't get a message saying it unlocked the new map I'm able to deploy it there anyway.

Once you unlock a sector, all subs with the rank/stats needed to travel to that sector can then go there.

So I need to have at least 1 set of spare parts first. And do the frame parts have better stats than the normal ones? or are they only used as mats for the new sub parts?

I've been looking but can find an answer. How do you run more than 4 airships/subs at the same time? or is 4 at a time the limit?

The frames are an ingredient, unable to fit on a sub. You can dismantle your sub and lose its rank, otherwise yes, you need a spare set of sub parts.

Each FC is limited to a maximum of 4 airships and or submersibles total out at a given time. If you see people providing info on more, it's because they have access to multiple fcs.

The modified parts (you can view them on the market board) are direct upgrades of the part being modified. Some are bigger upgrades to their original versions than others.
