@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.

[AuricSeagard]

Each FC is limited to a maximum of 4 airships and or submersibles total out at a given time. If you see people providing info on more, it's because they have access to multiple fcs.

Yeah don't go by my ship/sub numbers if that's what's being referred to -- our FC has merged with two smaller ones over the years and we took over management of their houses and are running full fleets from them.

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

i'm confused - it said the question was answered where coco lumber comes from? what sector? or is from the new map?

also I'm still confused about frames. so how do they work? you hand in a part and get a frame, but is that frame a part that makes up a sub? or do you have make something else from the company craft workshop to use it?

The later.
You trade a ship or sub part for a frame. That frame is not itself a ship/sub part, but a fabrication material. You then use the frame and several other crafting mats to fabricate a new ship/sub part in your workshop. (The new part you make using the frame will have better stats than the initial part you traded in for the frame.)

Discovered pure titanium ore from South Isle of Zozonan. Rating was S, surveillance is base 150, bonus is currently 2 but I'm not sure what it was before leveling up (ship is currently rank 52, I believe it was 50 when deployed, so bonus was likely 0). Also got slabs of hard mudstone, truegold sand, and earth crystals from that location.

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.

is that where the new schematic comes in?

also still need answer on coco lumber?

Results from my first set of returns from Zozonan:










On hitting level 53, my subs gained +1 Speed, +1 Range, and +1 "Guardian Favor" ( Guardian? Eh?). My subs also found a new sector, "The Wreckage of the Windwalker" off of Zozonan.

Subs were all CUYC builds.

Oh just checked and "Pure Titanium Ore" is NOT the same as "Titanium Ore". The "pure" stuff is a new mat needed to make metal that almost certainly will be used in the new sub parts. It take 9 coke per piece too because of course it does.

The bonus so far is:
51: +2 surv +1 ret
52: +2 ret +1 range
53: +1 speed +1 range +1 guardian favor.

(ty Auric, back to editing the spreadsheet. guardian favor = regular favor? o_O)

Yes. New schematic should unlock all the recipes for modified parts that you can see on the market board. That I know of, no one has retrieved the lumber yet and that person was just referring to a guess that it's from a one of the new submersible destinations.



If anyone's got submersibles below 50, could you post what the level and part capacity is?
