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?

Yes, my drop rate hasn't changed any, I'm still getting one a week roughly. I got one just yesterday.

What are you running to get one a week? I can barely get one a month LOL with 2 FC's running for them.

We had six subs farming DSS7 doing a trip that took almost exactly 24 hours. Each ship was capable of getting two hits per stop (though the second hit on DSS7 is never better than 60% successful at finding something, grumble.) So that's 42 tries each week. The drop rate is about 1/50 so we're close to what you'd expect. Our ships were CUUC and CUSC builds.

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.

Two of my submarines returned from Sunken Vault, one unlocked the new map and the other one didn't, so it's not guaranteed.

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?

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.
