Hi!

I want to use one of our subs to farm Deep-red Clusters. I was wondering if anyone had advice in terms of Surveillance and Retrieval I should go for. I'm trying to make tons of Grade 3 wheels. Thanks for any tips!
I wasn't sure if I should have low Surveillance but high Retrieval, or if both are required high.

Deep-Red crystals are pretty easy to find. Check the tables for which sectors drop them, then pick a sector that's easy to get to and fit your ship out for high speed and retrieval. Take just enough range to get there and back. Take enough favor to make sure you get two hits each trip. You shouldn't need high surveillance.

Another option if you have the time is to do Diadem and purchase the deep red clusters with either the Brass or steel spoils. Get a few FC mates to help and its a pretty quick way to gather them up. Subs / airships are a bit unpredictable on their loot.
