Does anyone know what the max capacity, im guessing the cap will be level 50 for subs, will be? As in, airships is 61 capacity.
Im guessing level 50 parts will be released in the near future?

Max capacity is your rank +19, so it caps at 69 currently. The new sub parts cost 17 each, max capacity becomes moot at rank 49.

There is a rank 5 airship, but there is no rank 5 sub. Airships released in 3.0 with 6/7 models and the rank 50 was added in 3.2. Subs were added in 4.2 with two models and one model has been added with each subsequent patch, so no idea if another model will be added.

niiiiiiice

so what are the best builds, assuming two things. one, max surv needed is 120 (like airships) and then either range to hit up more places, speed to do places faster (no retri), or high retri for assumed farming of the massive amount of kamacite ore (that will probably come from sub nodes)?

note: need 3 ore per plate and 9 plates per part (or 108 ore for one sub and 432 ore for all four subs)

also note: I think its dumb as hell to add a new building materia that could take months for you to build your subs when there are only months left before 5.0, when subs will become trash, much like airships did when 4.0 dropped :/

I'm looking for a budget Sub! The time it takes to reach my destination isn't so much of an issue. I mostly want to discover new areas and bring back goodies. SO I would assume I would build for surveillance and retrieval? Then what about Distance? Right now I have a Shark I keep sending out to discover the derelict to with no luck.

Apologies if this isn't a good place for this question.

I'd check out the calculator that Quadoline posted. You can narrow it down by removing parts and shifting the scrollbars to the minimum you want of certain stats and then browse what you get with various builds that fit those minimums. CUWC would give you a good chunk of surveillance while middle roading the rest of the stats.

Still trying to unlock other sectors, here's what I got back from DSS6: Bamboo Sticks, Beech Logs, Zelkova Logs, Dark Chestnut logs, and Aetherchemical Fiber.

First sub back from Deep Sea Site 6 returned with Spruce Logs:

Could you please provide a screenshot of that new zone? (Rank, EXP, stars, position on map etc.)
