You can be fine with this many schematics beyond the free ones:

Large Panel
the 8 core upgrades
1 power engine
1 power wing
1 cannon of your preference
compass/heading indicator
storage container
shipping container

That is 15 schematics. You will also probably want a fuel gauge and medium panel. If you want to get into ship optimization, you'll want a speedometer as well. That's 18. Realistically, you'll probably have at least 2-3 engines, 1-2 wings and 2-3 cannons you'll consider using. The high end of all of those combined makes 23. That would leave 2 slots for stuff like horns, flags, stairs, bar pipes, the other gauges like altimeter or artificial horizon, windows, or a t1 engine schematic for when you just wanna cobble something together as fast as possible.

It's bad and makes all the decorative schematics complete garbage unless it's one you really really want, but it's not quiiite crippling. It wouldn't be so bad if they implement the cap increase progression at the same time.

Glider, torch and timed explosives are on a separate cap, and there's not really enough items there to reach it at the moment.

E: If you're feeling really frisky and want to rely on reading the wind currents inside of storm and sand walls and remember which way is which when people tell you "go west of X" you could probably skip the compass too, but v0v

First thing we did once we got our ship built was to try ramming it into a much more resource-expensive ship some other guy had. Sad to report that this did no damage, but still a great game with real potential.

Here's some action shots of a cool 6-engine battleship with 3 cannons:











And a cool cave island we found:



And another island:

I had to contact https://support.bossastudios.com to reset my character location last night. I think I contacted them around 7 PST and by 5am pst i already had a dev do it. ( i know they are in england but it was still a quick turn around).

We set our ship down to add two more new and improved engines to our 2-engine vessel. The moment we got the fourth engine affixed, a cannonball suddently slammed into the ground next to me out of nowhere.



I looked up to the sky and spotted our attackers raining hell down upon our heads.



We were under attack and - to my great shame - we had been stupid enough to not have built a cannon to defend ourselves with. In that moment, I knew we were hosed, but I didn't yet know how hard. My buddy raced to the helm of the ship only to find it was too heavy to move - the extra engines weren't worth their weight without a better power core! gently caress. And then, it happened.



A direct hit, right in the pussy. We were sunk. Parts flew everywhere. My buddy's game crashed and he was screaming curses down through the mic. I laughed so hard I cried. I did try to fraps this but I couldn't handle the mouse because I was laughing too hard at my friend's rage.

10/10 this game is loving perfect.

For the longest time I didn't realise that your shipyard makes a personal bubble you can grapple onto

Boy wrestling with the grappling hook and desperately flailing around the hull of my ship before I realised this was an experience

After figuring out what everything was and pancaking to my death with the grappling hook a couple of times I can definitely see the appeal of this game. Flying away in your little ship and watching the island you were on disappear into the distance is an amazing feeling.

Those ship yard bubbles don't protect against cannon fire though. Even though it looks as if its a force field.

So a few dumb questions, what happens when you log out? I know it says your ship won't disappear if you log out at a shipyard which I get so in case someone else claims it, but what happens if you log out while flying?

I mean I guess I'll find out when I log back in :v:

Also is there a chart/guide out there for what ship setups will pass the "walls?"

How do you figure out your position on the map? Is it a component to build?

Lastly is the only way to get schematics out of the gold chests?

It keeps going how you set it until it disappears after a few minutes. Assuming no one interacts with it and everyone with a spawner on the ship is logged off. If there's no claimed spawner, the ship also stays in indefinitely.

I've heard 40 total engine power and a few wings (2 elevators and a rudder) will cross wind walls if your helm is in the back of the ship. For storm/sand unless you can probably get good enough engines and weight cap from expanses to cross storm/sand without too much chanciness if you have a couple people repair things.

Sun rises in south and sets in north. Use that and the wall border layout and you can probably figure out where you're at on either cardinal or lexmap. There's also some landmark islands on lexmap to help out.

You get schematics from the knowledge tree as well.

schematics can be learned from knowledge points which you earn by exploring (scanning these nuclear warhead looking things) and spend on either engines, wings, or cannons. Each time you spend you get a new schematic

Most times you can salvage it if it crashes or gets blown apart on or close enough to solid ground. If it sinks in the sky its gone

You at least need a second person you can look at so you can see how angled they stand compared to the deck as your artificial horizon. Heading can be determined with the helm wind sock since wind angle is steady for that in walls.

Sometimes, you can build a shipyard nearby in such a way that it'll let you dismantle it, but even then, it's likely the parts are too damaged to remove.
