Airship Guide

Faerie here and I have not only raw Celestines to trade, but actual celestines! I'll be online in about five hours.

Cool, that's when I'm logging in too! I'll look you up then ^_^ We're just three Raw Celestines (one actual Celestine) away from our first Invincible II ship part, and our ship hasn't found any more in a while. We started the part thinking we had enough, but I miscounted, and we have to finish it before we can go back to making our Enterprise parts.

Has anything been addressed regarding losing your airships if you buy a new house?

They're going to introduce a "moving" feature that will let you keep your free company workshop stuff when you move. It's not done yet, so moving right now would be a bad idea.

We unlock all sectors up to 15 with rank 50 + full enterprise airship.

So if you want to update the map, sector 15 need enterprise, not invincible II

Found sector 14 after slapping invincible II forecastle on, and coincidentally yet again right after a full hull repair.

I swear 95% of sector discoveries at my end happened right after I fixed The O.T.P. to 100%. I'm resisting not fully repairing before exploring new sectors now.

Gold Ore can be obtained aswell from Sector 14. 24 gold ore is Normal Retrieval level and they are High-Quality.

I tried to do further analysis to see which affects per-sector rating (and thus bonus exp), Favor, Retrieval, or both. But, I'm running into the issue where all the stats are loosely correlated with each other. A ship with higher Favor often also has higher Retrieval, and vice versa. There's a clear correlation between higher favor and higher ratings. The data suggests that retrieval might also correlate with higher ratings, but that is less clear. Trying to isolate a variable by, say, only looking at the retrieval ratings of ships with exactly 80 favor is running into an issue where the vast majority of ships with 80 favor also have 80 retrieval. So, there aren't enough datapoints with the same retrieval value other than 80 and exactly 80 favor to compare it to the 80/80 set.

So, I have no idea...

Honestly, I think the only way to test it at this point is to wait till we have a whole host of level 50 capped ships and specifically rig down our ships with all bronco but one component and start recording data separately. This is the only way we can get control over the inputs that isn't constantly shifting and keeps our data clean and separated.

Unfortunately, this also means that it's virtually IMPOSSIBLE to use any of this information for things like sector unlocks which seems to be the hottest topic at current.

To test the unlocks, we'd need a few people to scrap the workshops or find new workshops willing to do stuff For Science (tm)

I'm totally willing to scrap but I'm fairly sure my FC would murder me (and they know where I live lol)
