Bump!

This and the submarine thread really should be stickys.

i'm not sure if it's been asked yet, but is 140 retrieval the max for all intents and purposes? or is there any merit to raising it to 154 with a viltgance aftcastle?

The above two posts seem to imply that the route doesn't matter that much... Well, when/if we unlock 4, I'll post the route that did it.

Our airship is currently rank 17, we have all sectors unlocked up to and including 7. I'm not ingame atm and don't know names off the top of my head but upgraded speed and surveillance to 2nd level. We can make 3 stops currently, I noticed that the order of the stops can affect the time on the trip. For example I went 5-4-1 and the trip was for 24hrs 35 mins, then tried 1-5-4 and it was only 23hrs 45 mins.

You might be interested to know that materials such as balsa or bambo can be traded. Even if they arent listed on the mb you can still obtain some from another player; if you know someone that has spare/is willing to sell them.

My FC didnt get the last 2 balsa needed for the tier III schematics but I managed to get 2 from a friend so we could start producing our first Enterprise part.

My FC has the Rank 25 airship, and we cleared sectors 1 through 9, currently otw to 10, and we did not unlock the 2nd airship.

My FC has the Rank 25 airship, and we cleared sectors 1 through 9, currently otw to 10, and we did not unlock the 2nd airship.

Need to make a correction on my previous post here, I made a mistake, but anyway:

When our ship was rank 25, we had cleared 1 though 8, and it was otw to 8.
It just returned from 5>6>7>8, hit rank 27, and we unlocked the 2nd ship now.

It seems to me that visiting sector 8 does the trick.

The next time someone unlocks their second airship, could they please post a screenshot of the voyage log from the voyage that unlocks it? I think that'll really help figure out the conditions required. Anyone (with access) can view the voyage log from a ship's last voyage from the flight control panel, not just the one who initially saw and finalized the report.

Awesome thread Thank you!. It's nice to see something helpful once and a while as opposed to all of the other negative threads on this forum.
