Choose a heading

Should airship travel be direct route selection or hands-on piloting?

Working directionNew in Edition 3

Use direct route selection for the first version rather than hands-on airship piloting. Travel can have a fuel cost so movement still has an economic consequence. The player selects a town/destination and travels; no piloting minigame is required for the initial build.

The original question’s prompt

Describe what the player does between departure and arrival.

Examples in a prompt are not decisions unless the answer chooses them.

Still to decide in this chapter

Which materials must never be bought or automated, and how much price/recipe information players see, are still open. Random travel events are a later expansion.
