How do you guys find sector 3? Right now my fc airship already rank 5, but we only have sector 1, 2 ,4 ,5.
We only deploy to sector 1 and 2 on each trip. Do we need to deploy 1 area at the time?

One thing I do find odd is Megha mentioned earlier about hitting rank 22 but didnt mention getting a 2nd airship.
Perhaps you need to visit certain sectors x amount of times for another (specific) sector to appear?
A little update on my airship.
For a long time I was stuck with only sector 1,2,3,4. Following advise I lowered Aftcastle to tier1 and raised Forecastle to tier3 to boost Surveillance.
With new build, we send airship to 3>4 with no results. However on our second attempt we sent airship to 1>2>4 which yielded the discovery of Sector 5.
@Aeyis: That seems unlikely from what I seen and what other reported. A lot of people have found most sectors on first attempt at exploring a new sector.
No results, sent back out with Surveillance and Speed.
Level 23, hoping to unlock 20. They say maybe sector 8 unlocks the 2nd airship? We have 1-7 + level 30 one.
Rank 17 now, haven't changed any parts since my last post however we will be putting on a new hull tomorrow. We have sectors 1-7 unlocked.
@Megha what sector did you get the red clay in?
Rank 22, no second airship.
Rank 22, sectors 27 and 30 unlocked, 2/4 pieces are Enterprise, got the second ship.
There was a post of someone hitting rank 22 that unlocked second airship however they may have just missed it in the log where they found something in Sector 8 that allowed them to have a second airship.
It can be easy to miss cause at time the log won't bring up finding new sectors if you look at it a second time, it tends to only show that info the first time so they may have missed a part where Sector 8 found something which allowed them to get a second airship or you just need to go through Sector 8 once to get the 2nd airship.
Our ship is currently rank 23 with no second airship, currently going to 7-8-6 and should be back around 11pm tomorrow. By then we'll be able to confirm whether or not just going to rank 8 is enough to unlock second airship or if there is another requirement to pulling it off.
Wait, sectors 27 and 30 or sectors requiring rank 27/30?
We have our second airship. I can confirm with pics if needed. We unlocked sector 8 and then we didn't get an airship at rank 23. So we finished sector 8 with A rank and then unlocked the 2nd airship. Also where is balsa wood? We got some, but im wondering if they drop more than in sector 8.
We got the problem that we unlocked sector 6 and than 9 o.ô... how do we unlock 8 xD?
You need to visit specific areas to unlock other ones. My guess is you often take the same route?
8 Seems to be unlocked by hitting rank 20. Might require visiting areas 1-7 first.
Note: Sector 8 wont show up in the voyage log as being discovered.
Rank 25 and unlocked 2nd airship after exploring sector 8 for the first time. Enterprise hull and forecastle, invincible for the other 2.
At Rank 22 we discovered Sector 6th with Path 5 > 1 > 2
Area scouted is definitely close to area where 6th island was. Perhaps taking a picture of all island location for people with 8+ island may be helpful to some people to figure what islands to focus on ?
Have discovered sectors 1 thru 10 at rank 21 airship.
I think it's more to do with proximity with the new sector, and maybe surveilance rating. Try exploring sectors that are at the edges of unexplored areas of the map and you should be able to find new sectors.
Here's the voyage list of our FC airship, 2nd airship has just been unlocked:

Edit:
Yes, you can.
My airship hit rank 29 today, still haven't unlocked 2nd slot. Its mostly upgraded to the highest parts it can equip. anyone else have this issue?
Rank 21 Airship
Enterprise Hull, Enterprise Forecastle, Invincible Aftcastle, Bronco Bladder
Sectors 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 unlocked
Sent on a Voyage to Sectors 5, 7, 8, 6 (In that order. First time visiting Sector 8.)
Returned this morning:
- Ranked up to 23
- Got Red Clay from Sector 7
- Got Balsa Wood Lumber from Sector 8
- Sectors 9 and 11 were unlocked (Sector 10 is not on my list yet.)
- Second Airship was unlocked
Hi we unlocked our 2nd airship with completing the sector that is level 20 missions. We unlocked our 3rd airship with completing the level 40 mission sector. I imagine the 4th airship will unlock from the 60th level mission sector. Note this is not sector #20, 40, or 60.
We have yet to explore sector 10. We have a ship there right now. People report it drops black clay. We received the athero-chemical pieces for the last prototype from Sector 14 a few days ago.
I believe it is RNG for unlocking new islands. But I feel if you have an island on the map by sector 7 that needs to be unlocked and your searching sector 2 across the map, its less likely to unlock the sector 7 missing island. But this is just my guess. IDK.
Speaking of Island RNG. At one point I actually unlocked two islands from a single voyage.
