The one thing about your build is that you will only get one shot at an otter per trip. If you bump your Favor stat to 105 you have two chances per trip.

how do i get to deep sea site 7? i went and used the CWSC build now, and sent to central rimilala trench since it says thats how its unlocked, is there any requirements to unlocking DSS7?or is just rng?

RNG. There's strong evidence that higher Surveillance leads to better odds of unlocking new sectors, but it's hard to thoroughly test it since it's not something that can be repeatedly tested by us since it... you know... unlocks.

Just keep at it. It'll unlock eventually.

I just went like two weeks without discovering a zone only to discover Deep-Site 6 and The Wreckage of the Headway in the same run using CCWC and had the WUUW sub come back a few hours later having discovered the Rimilala Shelf and the Glittersand Basin. The same CCWC sub has discovered everything else except the remaining level 50 sites and Concealed Bay (which was being stubborn, so I moved on). Your CWSC build has more surveillance than either of mine, so there shouldn't be anything stopping you from discovering it.

Can pretty much confirm CCWC doesnt work, despite it "should" being able to work using stats people posted earlier in the thread. Swapping back to CCYC helped.

CCWC does make a fantastic kamacite farmer though.

CCWC only has 130 surveillance which is not enough for the otter, but does cover the ore requirement. I believe it was 145 surveillance minimum for the otter.

AuricSeagard's quote shows a fit that's CWCC. This is different from the CCWC that you're talking about. The first has 175 Surveillance and works for endgame farming. The second has 130 Surveillance and works only for Kamacite farming (and is a common shiptype people use while working to acquire materials for Syldra components).
