    I thought Bronco aftcastle was the way to go (especially at R50) because it has the lowest penalty to Surveillance, and the higher tier aftcastles just proivde more EXP.

    Sector 7 doesn't exist and can't hit sector 11 since it's rank 30 and we just hit 16 in the process of unlocking it. This is gonna be a thing isn't it.

    Surely "Retrieval" affects the quantity/quality/rarity/something of materials you get back, right? I mean, if you're strictly going for zone unlocks and don't care at all about the loot, then yeah Bronco seems reasonable.

    Not airship related, but FC-crafting related; wasn't sure where else to ask this...

    Does anyone know if you can put an Aetherial Wheel Stand in your personal FC room and/or your personal house?

    I'm trying to keep a low-man FC stocked with actions. I'll be able to figure this out for myself in 3 days when my current wheels are done if no one knows.

    Are those worth the time/effort? I bought the lay out plans for them with some extra mats but never cared past that.

    what effort Lol If you have an fc and you can get the ppl to craft the wheels, then yeah dont see why you wouldnt. If you dont, and have to pester others to help you do your shit, then dont bother.

    FC of 3-4 active people sitting on 1.1m points took a chunk out for airship registration so planning if they intend more point spending like that.

    The fuck? Do you never use actions? Were you larger at some point? My FC was 20 or so in its heyday, but had constant action use, and now has whittled down to 4~8, and we're scraping by with 50k points right now, since our current activities is just enough to keep us afloat while still keeping heat of battle 2 up. These wheels are a godsend for us.

    I only pop buffs when I need it. Everyone has access to it for their own abuse. I'll pop xp buff if I know I am going to level for the day/next day as well. Was about 1.2 but I bought 11 of those airship premission things cause I didn't think of checking for fuel >.> but we have the slips for future ships atleast now.

    you'll eat 10k for each 99 tanks, and with 4 ships, those will be consumed quickly (40ish every couple days once you have all 4 at 50?) the idea is wheels+ship ventures. buying buffs and sending your ship out ends up being very costly after just a short while.

    ship will also bring you back things to make stronger buffs, so it kinda dictates what you want to be doing with it.

    Anyone making the higher tier wheels? We're not yet getting enough mats to justify them. Our FC is sitting on about 400k points and we like to keep them between 4 and 500k.

    Does anyone know if you can make a skin for the FC house in your workshop and then use it on a personal house?

    Can you change the looks of personal houses right now? I wouldn't doubt it. Have your own personal item shop for those 99 potions.
