C,U,U,U is inferior in every expect lower serveillance, speed, and favor. How can it be better?

The three stats that matter when looking for the Otter are a surveillance over 135, Speed as high as possible to minimize trip time, and a high favor which is only 90 on this build so you wont always get a second loot item.
Range doesn't matter so long as its enough to reach Deep Sea Site 7 and Retrieval has no impact as the otter so far has never given more then 1 in a trip.

So yes its a terrible build for normal missions, but if your after only otters then I still stay it would be perfectly fine for the mission and is a very cheep sub to build.

I've been trying to get kamacite but it's been kinda low chance of getting them with stats of 120/105/60/85/85, exploring only the 2 zones confirmed to have them., Should I be focusing on different stats to increase my chances of Kamacite ore?

I think 120 surveillance is too low to get Kamacite. I don't know what the absolute lowest possible surveillance is, but I do know that with 135 surveillance we found a lot of it with very little trouble.

Thanks. Ill try boosting surveillance. Do any of the other stats affect kamacite acquisition?

Your words "The three stats that matter when looking for the Otter are a surveillance over 135, Speed as high as possible to minimize trip time, and a high favor which is only 90" Now tell me how is C,U,U,U stats 140,15,100,95,90 is better than C,U,U,C stats 170,30,110,50,110 for otters?

If you're just trying to haul ore, a high retrieval stat will bring back larger piles per trip. A higher favor will give you a second chance to acquire the ore from the same sector.

So here below is a few to choose from:

Build Sur/Ret/Sp/Rng/Fav
CUUC: 170 30 110 50 110
CCSC: 150 65 85 90 140
CUUS: 170 30 70 95 120

For my purpose, which is to get rare items like materia VIs and Otter, so if favor of 110 can guarantee a second roll, then CUUC will be my choice. The speed of 110 is way better than the other two builds. The only concern is range of 50 though, but if I only send the submarines to deep 7 then it should work. Any destination beyond deep 7 this build wont do. For example, materia VI farming at the last few destinations needs to be either CCSC or CUUS.

subs back from mission. Three found items worth reporting.

1. Mission to Sunken Temple
Found - 14 Rhodonites HQ


2. Mission to Rimilala Trench bottom
Found - Lighting Clusters, Dex VI materia


2a. Mission to Sunken Vault
Found - Triphanes


3. Mission to Rimilala Trench bottom
Found - Craftsman's Command VI, Balsa Wood lumber


3a. Mission to Sunken Vault
Found. Lighting Crystals, Water Crystals

Can I ask you what materia VIs were in 3a? For crafting materias? Sunken Vault does not have any registration of crafting materia VIs yet according to the forum's loot table, maybe this should be added.

It's listed in the image prior as Craftsman's Command Mateira VI from the The Rimilala Trench Bottom (AB).

Now I see. actually these two pictures are the same. I thought the lower one is for the Sunken Vault loot. Thanks for the clarification.
