Which is really quite sad, some of the airship models are very pretty when you build the entire ship - but they are quite bad when built that way it would seem. So until we get airship and submarine "glamours" we will have to settle for the model ones

What is the suggested setups for rare items? I've been running 115/55/45/130/70 for a couple weeks now and I've yet to get any rare items or get anything over a C rating. Is it suggested to only send to one location at a time or multiple?

Send to multiple locations and make sure to keep up with repairs if the parts are getting low. I may just be paranoid, but I seem to have horrible drops if any of the parts end up depleted by the end of a voyage.

I don't think the part wear matters at all, in my experience. I have over 30 vessels, and 5 are subs with the good builds for the rare items, and I get Marine Wax Esters, Colossus Slabs, Auriea Polyps, Abyss scrolls etc. whether parts are fulling repaired or depleted after a mission. I dont repair til they are damaged, cause you can send them out as long as they arent damaged, no matter how low the bars are. This way you get your most bang for your buck. I understand what you are saying, but I don't see it reflecting item RNG at all.

Can you recommend a good build? Right now I have two rank 30 ships and all 3 tiers of parts built. I'd like to be able to mix and match the parts that I have between the two subs for max benefit until I can build enough optimum build parts. Which leads me to my next question: what is the the current optimum build?

Thanks!

Optimal would depend on your goals. This is what I run.
Uniku Hull
Whale Stern
Shark Bow
Shark Bridge
Surveillance 100
Retrieval 90
Speed 30
Range 115
Favor 65

Speed is my dump stat because I work alot and don't really care how fast they move.
Favor is nice but not a priority.
I like Range to hit more sectors but my primary focus is Surveillance and Retrieval to get the most out of each trip.

Thank you! My goal is getting rare items such as the Marine Wax Ester.
