Airship Guide

Any pointers on unlocking sector 17? I already got 19, 20 and 21. Airship is rank 50 with the following stats: surveillance 100, retrieval 104, speed 86, range 104, favour 100. I keep sending it to 16 but nothing happens :'( I've been doing 16 > 21 > 20 for a while with 0 success of unlocking sector 17. Any help would be appreciated.

I unlocked it by trying 4 -> 12 -> 16

Try changing the routing while still visiting the sector?

It may or it may not help, but I'm not sure that it can hurt.

Is it possible there is a correlation between the total combined ranks of airships and the amount of zones unlocked. Looking at the spreadsheet it seems people either went 15 19 20 21 22 or 12 16 17 18. Very few have them both unlocked until their 3rd and 4th ship are getting higher ranked. Again it is probably just rng still though. As soon as my ships got to 50 50 and 15 18 unlocked after making 8 trips to sector 17.

The reason this is the case is due to the proximity of those sectors. People go either left side or right side with their voyages as that allows them to add more sectors per trip.

Interesting point about the number of airships and their ranks. Also, I did send it to the route you've mentioned so we'll see. Fingers crossed

I've just created a spreadsheet that lets you choose your airship parts then compiles the parts into a nice printable format for you to use. This spreadsheet is really meant for a small FC that has to borrow folks to sit through their builds! I know there are airship lists with more features out there, but this one is designed to fit a niche for us old folks that still make notes and checklists on paper! LOL

This is neat, adding it to the guide under Community Resources! \o/ (let me know if that isn't desirable)

The biggest reason to unlock 17 is that it unlocks 18 which unlocks a new airship. It is totally fine to put it on the backburner. Also once you get far enough in the western route you might be able to include sector 16 in your voyage in order to give you more chances to unlock.

It's all about luck and perseverance. It took us about 2 weeks and 15 trips to sector 11 to finally unlock sector 14! The ship that eventually did it was not our flagship either and had lower stats, lending more credibility to the "it's all about luck and perseverance" theory.

On another note, does anyone think there might be an additional sector in the "eastern chain" after sector 18? there is another "hole" in the distribution of sectors, and that island seems big enough that there might be another sector on the other end:

Thats really nice

Could you add another Option in the Dropdown that says "none" ? then it would be useable if you want to compile materials for 1 - 3 parts ^^

I will actually add a note on the page about this. Just delete the entry in the cell and it works the way you want. The compiled list even says "no 'part' selected". The code for actually adding "none" is more complicated and would require more coding - and you still have to allow for a blank entry anyway!
