Rank 23 airship with full upgrades.. still havent even unlocked sector 6 yet.. let alone 7 or 8....

What the hell am I doing wrong? Haven't been using any bronco parts for several levels now

Just hang in there! It can take a few trips. Right now we are in the same position with sectors 13/14, have visited 11 4x times now with nothing to show for it!

To double check, you are visiting sector 5 on every trip?

Hello Guys, need a little help there.

Our aircraft is rank 27 but we have not unlocked sector 7 and of course not sector 8 either. But i saw that many of you have already unlock sector 7 and 8 before the rank 30.
Something strange for us is that the game says the we cannot reach sector 7 before reaching rank 30, but it don't seems to be the case for all of you. Someone can explain me a bit ? I can also add some comments about what we have and such.

Just hang in there, it can take a few trips and a bit of luck! Some people seem to get it right away and for some people it takes longer.

What are the current thoughts on each stats purpose?

My theories are in the OP but i'm also really curious what other people are thinking about this too!

Been sending it on sector 5 every single trip since rank 14 (now almost 24).... really getting jack of it tbh

I have tried both sector-5-only and multi-sector (with sector 5) and nether have worked

using all upgrades possible with highest forecastle

EDIT: just hit 24.. still no sector 6,7, or 8

Wow, that's a pretty raw deal Just try to keep in there! I know it's tough to hear but sometimes this is how probabilities run, some get really lucky, others get what seems like terribly long bad streaks (think about those hasty touch dry spells).

How the hell did I unlock sector 11 two levels early and yet my retard airship still cant unlock 7-8 for a 2nd airship....? (or 9-10 for that matter >.<)

Flight details:
Path was 2, 5, 6
This was using invincible hull and aftcastle, and enterprise rigging and forecastle.
Weather for sector 2 "high winds" for the first item, but "violent turbulence" for the second item found
Weather for sector 5 "violent turbulence" and resulted in only one item found
Weather for sector 6 was "no wind or turbulence found" for the first item, but "violent turbulence" for the second item found
NO "sector unlocked" message in voyage log... only found out I unlocked 11 after finalising the report

If there was a word for "fear of travelling in a north eastern direction".. thats what my airship would be S:

We're having the same problem. Rank 32, visiting 5 and 6 every day but STILL no sectors 7~10. ><

Just a quick update, we hit rank 29 and unlocked 7 finally..... PLEASE LET IT BE sector 8 unlocked tomorrow xD. I only sent it to sectors 5&6 for this trip

Soo.. I'm back again to provide some disgusting news....

My FC didn't get its 2nd airship until rank 30... and HAS NOT DISCOVERED A SINGLE SECTOR SINCE RANK 29!!! We hit rank 50 today....

I have been sending this fucking airship out to sectors 10 and 11 for 20 ranks now and not a single sector discovered... WTF SE?

Hell... our 2nd airship is now almost high enough to start exploring the same sectors (rank 29)....

Not impressed

Quick Question what your airship equip set up I believe certain sectors are locked behind a decent surveillance rating?

Always used good parts. The rank 50 has been using invincible II forecastle, rigging and hull, and enterprise aft, always upgrading forecastle before anything else

To make things even more insulting... our second airship just discovered sector 14 at rank 30 on its very first ever journey to sector 11 (enterprise forecastle)... but our first airship didn't find either 13 nor 14 in 20 levels of sending it to sector 11.. wtf? lol

I suppose I should be grateful we can at least finally unlock our third airship (albeit a few weeks later than it should have)
