Of course North is never the same North.

So the reduction in ship speed with larger ships looks like a huge problem on paper, but larger ships are actually pretty beneficial. With a carefully planned route (and an encounter or two with the Pirate-Poet), I can get a good 300-400 Echoes every return to London, post food and fuel expenditures for the next trip.

Skies is a LOT more trade route-y than Seas, though, and I feel like paths are restricted a lot more because your floating landmass obstacles often don’t have paths through them, so you end up burning a lot of fuel and food going around the rocks.
