Company airship

Company airships are vehicles that can be crafted in a company workshop and sent on exploratory voyages for unique rewards.

Obtaining an airship
In order to craft an airship, players must first obtain the required recipe from the schematic board in the company workshop. After gathering the required items, select the plan of the desired recipe. It will then be added to the company crafting log.

Airship components
Airships are comprised of four primary parts—the hull, rigging, forecastle, and aftcastle. Bear in mind that durability of these parts will be depleted when sending airships out on exploratory voyages. When the durability of any given part reaches zero, it will need to be replaced or repaired with.

Registration
After obtaining the requisite components and flight credits, access the voyage control panel in the company workshop to outfit and register the airship.

Undertaking exploratory voyages
Registered airships can be deployed to explore uncharted lands in the Sea of Clouds. These explorations are carried out automatically, with airships returning after a fixed amount of time. Upon completion of an exploratory voyage, players will be provided with a voyage log detailing the results. Players will also receive various items depending on the results of the voyage.

It should be noted that both airships and submersibles can be deployed at the same time. However, there is a limit to the number of airships and submersibles that can be deployed simultaneously.

They can be purchased using company credits from the Resident Caretaker in any of the housing districts or from Mammet Voyager #004A in a company workshop. The free company must own a house before purchasing a workshop or undertaking exploratory voyages. The size of the house has no effect on crafting or exploration.

Charting a voyage
As airships continue to be deployed on voyages, they will eventually discover new areas to survey.
