my airship is lvl 16 and still hasn't discovered any new areas to explore. Is there a bug if you dismantle a ship and rebuild it where it wont discover any new locations?

If you totally dismantle an airship or sub doesn't it reset to 0?

Swapping parts in and out does not do this.

Yip it did, and I didn't know that at the time about the whole components thing, was thinking I could build a new airship with the invisible-type parts, didn't see the apart about leveling up to be able to switch out the parts. So when I dismantled the ship and then realized about the components part, I rebuilt, and started sending the ship out again, but since then No new missions have been discovered at all. And it's still the originally 3 missions you start with

RNG for discovering new Sectors is pretty erratic. I can remember helping a friend set up their FC's workshop last expansion and we had a 6 week stretch at one point without a new Sector discovery. All I can say is keep trying. Considering we actually start with just 2 sectors, it sounds like you did discover at least one since you say you have 3 available.

Hopefully you're at least sending your airship to Sector 2 since that unlocks Sector 5, which is a "gateway" to unlocking more Sectors (Sectors 3 and 4 don't unlock any new Sectors).

If you've started mixing Invincible parts with Bronco parts, make certain you haven't let Surveillance drop too low. I don't know if it was ever confirmed for airships but Surveillance did seem to affect Sector discovery.

Bump to keep it handy.

The rest still exist. I want to say that Sector 23 was the annoying one for my FC this year. It felt like it took a couple of months before it was finally discovered.

Having just inherited a dead FC due to the inactivity of literally everyone else in it (yay... I'm so lonely) I'm just now getting into Airships and Subs.
Can someone confirm, are Airships essentially 'dead' content now? Obviously they still exist and can be used, and people do use them, I see the cost of airship components is still fairly high on the MB, and presumably the materials you gain from airships are exclusive to certain crafting recipes for a few older yet still highly sought after items. But there's no new items coming from this content anymore is there? For quite some time now?

Subs seem to be at least twice as indepth, with 4 times as many maps to explore, and can bring back more than just crafting materials.
If I can write off airships, at least for the time being while time and resources are limited and I'm all alone , that'll be good to know.
