Magic Symbol Unlocks?

[]|[ T/\\./]

I managed to unlock the frigate just messing around with random combinations. Don't know what the code was. Anyone else manage to unlock others?

Frigate or Corvette cause if there is a frigate I need to unlock that.
for the Corvette I honestly don't remember the combo but I believe the middle one was the two circles connected by a right corner with a bite taken out (making it a bit curved) the last one was 3 circles making up an upper left corner with a half circle part way through the top line. I have no clue what the first symbol was.

I unlock a flag ship but I don't remember the combination sense it change as you click and even if you get the combination again it will say it wrong sense it already unlock it.

This spoils the surprise of however these ships are meant to be obtained, so if the dev wants to remove this comment to keep the surprise, go ahead, I totally get it:
But if you want to unlock the two ships from the magic symbol, and dont mind being a little "cheaty", open file explorer and go to: AppData\Roaming\AirshipsLostFlotilla and open the "demo.json" file, and add "beamfrigate","flagship" to the file. You can also unlock the "captains" too, if you like.

The file with all ships unlocked should look like this (you can empty your file and copy paste this to unlock everything if you like)
{"unlockedCaptains":true,"unlockedShips":["battleship","megaplane","beamfrigate","flagship","copter","science"]}

I just figured this out from peeking at entitytype.json, should be all the ships.
You could just also set up an autoclicker and hold it over any tile in the magic symbols menu, as all the tiles are randomly swapped each time. Its how I got the beam frigate, minus the autoclicker.

I think the first symbol is the two curves, one above the other, with balls on the right side, and a vertical line connecting them on the left

I also randomly got a flagship while messing with magic symbols but didn't memorize the code since I was clicking too fast.

You were correct, that got it for me.

I got the corvette after 20 minutes of symbol insanity clicking and the symbol turned yellow

I notice now one of the 9 squares is white instead of yellow on the edges

[woolfoma]

Symbol one: Two curves, one atop the other connected by vertical line on left, each with a ball on right
Symbol two: The bottom left quarter of a circle, with two short lines, one left, one down, each ending in a ball.
Symbol three: The only symbol with three balls. It has a vertical line connecting two, then a line to the right from the upper one, connecting to a third, with a semicircle intersecting the line.

that didn't work https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561199011948915/screenshot/2462990284010341811/

I think the magic symbols are just random to the point that you can't replicate a code for a ship

[woolfoma]

That one is for the frigate, if you have already unlocked it, you will 'fail' to unlock it again. But it could be randomised as well

That's for the Corvette.And you prob already unlocked it.

Beam Corvette:
Phonetically (if you still want a little puzzle to solve): Untizee Kotch Linka

Two vertical parallel lines with with 2 horizontal parallel lines and 2 circles
A half circle connected to a circle with a vertical line and a curve connecting another circle to the middle of the vertical line
A half circle connected to a circle with a vertical line and a short line off to the right
I assigned an arbitrary number to each symbol and brute forced it, took me 400+ tries

[Candarian]

just use the codes and hints in the book
i got 21 of 22 ships that way
brute forcing dont work since the symbols on the buttons change every time
