Airship Guide

Airship rank at 24 at the moment.
Just discovered Sector 08, no 2nd airship yet.

Dispatched it to a Sector 08 only trip, hopefully this will unlock the 2nd airship.

I'll post here if it does (or doesn't, god forbid that).

Is it confirmed that only Sector 08 unlocks the second airship, or can anything over Sector 08 (such as Sector 11...) unlock it?

Our Airship hit Rank 27 yesterday and we have had no luck with discovering Sector 08. We sent it out to Sector 05 and Sector 07 yesterday, and even with an S rating we had no luck finding the Sector 08. We sent it out on 05,06,07 today, but if it doesn't find it now we may end up with the ability to send it to Sector 11 before ever finding Sector 08.

Airships back from SC07+ SC08. Still no SC09 or SC10 discovered. Both sectors gave a message of ''Airship condition found insufficient for further exploration''. At this point I have no clue what limits it. Was rank 28 for this trip. 3/4 Enterprise with Invincible Aftcastle. Nearly 50 range unused, so it seems that theory of mine is off.

Turbulent in both sectors, but we dont have any idea yet on what causes that. (random or not?)

Are your parts properly repaired after a while? If they're in the red they probably don't contribute any stat.

Ours had 2 invincible, 1 bronco and 1 enterprise part when we discovered all of sector 8-9-10-11 - now I've geared it up with a second enterprise part and I'm making more.

For those looking for the magnanimous mogcrowns, you can also find them in Sector 10.

I'd be willing to bet it is just bad luck at this point. Ever had one of those days where you fail a dozen 45% chance melds in a row? This might be like that except the airship version

It'd be really nice to figure out it is something more than just luck. That being said, good luck!

Everyone so far has reported getting it at sector 08, but I'm not sure anyone has tried visiting 11 before visiting 8!

Someone had the interesting theory that it was unlocked from visiting all of the bronze colored sectors on the map, of which 8 is the highest one. I'm trying to test that by holding off on visiting sector 3 with my experimental airship. If its true, it will give us a good idea when we can expect to unlock the 3rd and 4th airships

So we unlocked sector 11 earlier, but haven't unlocked 7/8/9/10 yet. What's stopping us from going into sector 11 yet though? Purely a rank thing?

Havent let a part drop in red yet. What enterprise part did you use?

Someone claimed to have gotten the Far Easter Coin (needed for the Stuffed carbuncle) from sector 4:

I can't confirm or deny but we've been sending our airship there every reset and will report back here if we get a proof.

Yep, just a minimum rank thing! A lot of people unlocked 11 well before they could visit it, we just visited it on our last trip for the first time although it has been teasing us for a while.

Awesome, seems legit!
