* A company workshop can only be purchased by the free company leader or members with the authorization to build or remove a workshop.

Parameters

- Airship Components

Rank

The rank required to use airship components.

Component Costs and Airframe Capacity

When assembling an airship, the total cost of the components cannot exceed the airframe capacity. The airframe capacity increases with the rank of the airship.
