Airship Guide

[Shnrnr]

Another reason someone might want an airship in 2024:

If you're just getting started with ships/subs, it can help to build an airship as soon as you've launched your first sub. As additional sub slots are unlocked slowly as you level up and explore more sectors, it can be very helpful to have an airship leveling up and bringing back materials alongside your first sub.

I've been leveling a sub and an airship for just a couple of weeks, and so far my airship is the only one to bring back materials such as bamboo weave and balsa wood scraps. Without those, I wouldn't have been able to unlock higher level sub prototype schematics, which will help my sub level faster. I might retire my airship once I unlock a fourth sub slot, but until then it will be nice to have it running voyages and supporting all my workshop activities. (My sub also has yet to bring back any treasure, whereas my airship has already retrieved about 400k worth of fine alumen.)
