    What do you guys think of these designs? Been playing with the builder a bit, our FC only has 2 airships atm but I am planning for the future at level 50.

    Invincible Hull, Bronco Rigging, Tatanora Fore/Aft Castle
    Surveillance 120, Retrieval 140, Speed 50, Range 84, Favor 136

    Or replace the hull and aftcastle with Enterprise and Odyssey
    Surveillance 124, Retrieval 126, Speed 54, Range 98, Favor 132

    Well, there's a reason those are the first two ships I list in my ship designs part of the guide xD Those are both solid. I think I prefer the latter one though since you can hit more sectors in one trip. It helps offset the slowness by reducing overall travel times.

    Nono, I was just saying that I totally agree with you that those are great ship designs. I wasn't the first one to post one of them - someone else did earlier in this thread, and I realized they were right that bronco rigging is a good idea.

    Only seen this happen 1 other time on the thread so figured I would share this one!



    Airship was using the following:

    Hull - Invincible II
    Rigging - Bronco
    Forecastle - Invincible II
    Aftcastle - Invincible II

    Just sent it on a single venture to Sector 16 (17 has been very stubborn for this FC...)

    Ironically I had only switched rigging to Bronco for this single venture so I could swap parts with the 3rd airship when it returned... now I'm debating removing the Bronco haha.

    I'm kind of a unique case having 27 airships (11 of which are Rank 50). Thus far this is the first SS rank I have seen. The Bronco Rigging definitely seems to be a great way to achieve SS.

    I ... don't even ...

    What is this, are you playing on 8 different servers managing the airships for one FC on each server, or something?

    That's a lot of airships, that's a lot of airship parts to manufacture, and that's a lot of FC Credits in fuel! I ... don't even know how to react to all that ..

    probably not 8 different servers, but in fact, 8 characters on the same server, managing 8 different FCs and feeding fuel from the main FC to all of the branch FCs. The only problem with doing that would be getting a house for each of the branch FCs what with the limited availability of housing. The airship parts are trivial to manufacture as a wide majority of the mats can be bought from a vendor. In an FC that's willing to help, getting all of the GC seal mats aren't an issue either -- especially if people are looking for things to dump their FC seals on and already have 5 stacks of ventures.

    Pretty much this lol. Making 8x of each airship part has been pretty annoying but we have a lot of amazing members who have helped out with coke/ore donations. I have spent many weekends just working on airships. In return I've been able to give everyone a company set .

    Getting 8 FC houses took well over a year and a little luck (friends sold some low, inherited a FC when everyone quit ). Back when gardening was good gil I was saving all profit exclusively for houses and for many months goblet had free plots on my server so finding an empty one was never a challenge.

    The main benefit of having so many FC right now is that we can charge 8x Grade III wheels every 3 days. Then have someone FC hop and gather all the charged ones to bring over to the main FC. Doing this it is possible to keep up 2x Tier III buffs 24/7... if only there was exp tier III...

    I just... want to say two things about this.

    1. it sounds like way to much work to be worth the trouble, and
    2. I find it very, very, very rude to keep 8 houses when there is a constant lack of housing availability. Of course there is nothing preventing you from getting this many and you are not breaking any rules with it, but it remains incredibly inconsiderate.
