Airship Guide

[Arcticharm]

Some of the reports I'm reading here seem really interesting. There appear to be some ships out there that are really well built and high ranks that have a really bad time getting new sectors while there are other less upgraded ships finding things.

Some questions for those having trouble:

1. Is the ship being sent back out as soon as it comes back or are there usually delays between? (i.e. is this a matter of number of flights?)

2. Would it make sense that slower ships (less upgraded riggings) have slower flights and "allow" for more time for that stupid mammet to potentially see new sectors between sectors? (speculation here from hearing some ship builds/rank)

Still trying to figure out a good way to use the airship spreadsheet data to try to determine if ship stats help but like others have said, I think we'd need massive amounts of data with controlled other variables to tell a difference. If anyone has any ideas please share!

Flight number is fairly correlated to the rank of a ship. More flights typically means more exp. I can personally attest that discovery is not directly related to number of flights to a sector tho.

Its possible that higher stats actually reduce the chance of finding a sector, or perhaps even a specific part is needed, theres just no telling right now.
