Importance of fleet cruise speed
as we know AKA(Airship Kingdom Adrift) is trading simulation game, do task, trade goods, rob merchant etc.
if your fleet cruise speed is low, you maybe think AKA is a boring game, u always busy in running maps, but everything will change when you got 1000km+ fleet cruise speed.
the faster your fleet runs, the more money u can make

How to increase fleet speed
there are some ways affect your fleet speed, but the fleet speed most depends on your slowest ship, so make sure all you ship have good cruise speed.

Navigater passive skill
Navigater passive skill can increase about 10% speed, there are some small differece between them,but not too much, you always can find them.

Better Drive Engine
the most important things can great increase your ship speed

Command Building
like naviation station can increase 15% speed, it stacks.
Drive Engine Ranking
Pierre make the best
you will find pierre in firefort, his person task is long and annoying, but worth it. when you complete all the task, pierre will make a new build in firefort. give him some meterials and he can make a gold drive engine iona MK-1 for you.
iona MK-1 take 3*3 space, is the best drive engine in game, all the meterials u can easy find around firefort city, and he make it fast. can great increase cruise speed and reduce cruise prepare time, fill your ship as more as possible.

Cruising drive
when you complete shop task in firefort & fort borden, you can find the shop sale the cruising drive
it's the second best engine you should consider, do shop task as early as possible and buy every cruising drive to fill you drive area slots.

Thruster
the last is the Thruster series, much more better than any other drive engine, medium or normal Thruster we need, large Thruster take 2*4 space and much weaker than iona MK-1.

so the answer to build a 3000km/h fleet is simple, fill iona MK-1(3*3) > Cruising drive(2*2) > Thruster (1*3,1*2) > normal drive (1*1), build and trace your ship speed, make sure all you ship have 700+ speed u can easy get a 3000+ speed fleet.
How to make money
Rob any 10+ fleet
if u get any battleCruiser level ship about 500+ slots, u can beat most fleet in game easy. the latest patch great increase ship reward, can make you got 10k-30k per battle.
Transfer goods
transfer goods around firefort and spring city aroud can make 100k per run, u need about 600+ goods slots. u can do rob in the way as well.
Industry
greenvale, spring city, firefort is the best 3 place develop industry, make gold ship or weapons and sell to the local offical secret fleet shop can make great money. every max ship/ship supply factory can earn about 120k-200k per day.
i put it in the last because you need about 100k starter funding to max the ship/ship supply factory in each city. u also need 1-2 fast ship to transfer goods between greenvale and spring city; max factory level won't create new ships or weapon, but increase the building queue, max factory can have 3 queue to build.

In fairness it wasn't stacking as intended, such speeds were impractical anyways beyond being good for a laugh the first few times, and the speeds you can get to now are still supersonic

@Prince Pwnly yes, u are right, so sad my fleet only got 1000km spd at the new version... i will try to update this guide.

You have to be at a certain stage of the story.
Sadly a recent patch has corrected the stacking of cruise speed modifiers and max speed is no longer over 60,000kph
