Airship Guide

[Nyalia]

I have the huge advantage of not actually being an officer in my FC. My rank is "Engineer" and I have full airship and FC crafting access, but I can't spend company credits. So, I have no idea how many credits we're spending on fuel. xD I just say "Hey, we need another fuel stack" and someone gets me one. No questions asked.

I should probably re-work my final designs to include crappier rigging, at least on a few ships...

I've been going with this setup on my 2 Rank 50 ships:

Hull - Invincible
Rigging - Enterprise
Forecastle - Tatanora or Invincible-II
Aftcastle - Invincible-II or Tatanora

This lets me visit 2 of the deep sectors on either ship, gives me high surveillance/favor on one and high retrieval on the other and doesn't take forever to make the trips. With the Enterprise rigging and Invincible-II Aftcastle, a trip to SC21 & SC22 takes ~61 hours.

I have to strongly recommend the Invincible-II forecastle. A significant number of endgame ships will need it. In order to use an Enterprise forecastle and still reach the adult sectors (17+), you'd have to use at best an Enterprise aftcastle, and that's really low retrieval. Bronco and Invincible Forecastles can't reach the endgame sectors at all. An Invincible-II forecastle allows for any aftcastle. When I was trying to design ships for minimal parts overlap so we could make one of each and have that be enough, I kept winding up with having three Invincible-II forecastles between the four ships, with nothing else overlapping.

Hi guys. Need some advice. I will go through this entire thread (read first post and TY to whoever posted it). I read that our ships will NOT be able to use all top tier parts. OK. We just made our Invincible II parts a few days ago and we're about to equip the last one. Now, I realize that out level 50 ship (we're 48 now) will have different parts. I understand what part does what etc but I would like opinions.

What mix would you have at level 50? Those parts are costly and I'm never ashamed to ask for help or the opinion of others. I'm sure there's a ton of answers so far but man there's 50 pages!! I will read it all soon enough but I'd like more opinions for now. I read one two posts above. I just want to see if it's backed up or...

Go back to the start and check out the third post. I've added details there about what sorts of ship designs I'd recommend and what various ones are good for.

I've experimented with a few different ways making this more visible. What do you think? I've really enjoyed what you have added \o/ It fills in a lot of things that the original guide was lacking =)

I love the show/hide interface, it definitely makes things cleaner!

No signs of 23 yet?

Not that we know of! Let's hope there actually is a sector 23

Hey there all!
I looked around for awhile to see if I could find a resource for planning out Airship configurations, but couldn't find one, so decided to make my own, and figured I'd share.
Enjoy!

(P.S. - Please let me know if I messed anything up so I can fix it. Thanks.)

This looks amazing! There's definitely no harm in throwing another hat into the ring =D One thing that makes it distinct is pictures of the parts, I've never seen anything like that \o/ May I add it to the guide?

Sure, go for it!
I'll try to keep it updated if SE releases new parts.

Bronco sail has the added side-benefit that it looks a lot better then any of the propellers.
