Not to mention occasionally getting glitched out and stuck in place on the ship deck and having to relog, losing profit

it is very rare that red dragon is so broken that it'd actually effect your profits to just accept the fail

When it come to red dragon bring out the dual guns.

hit count mechanics in mabi in general are poorly designed

^true. I used to do air commerce because it was nice with my wrist pain, wyverns were plenty doable, I didnt have to click a bunch to navigate on land, and a couple red dragons could be ignored. I could attack them some when ballistas actually work, but the tight timeline usually makes such rapid clicking still hurt.

I stopped doing it all-together though after almost causing a total ship loss when me and my spouse got 4 red dragons on a run. It survived because I hurt myself further to squeeze out the hit count against the red dragon and make it a success. Haven’t done air commerce since, as to not pre-emptively sabotage my friends by being physically unable to do the mechanics safely.

I just wish there was more time for red dragon, since it scales with party member count its always tight. Or that it could always be hit despite janky positions. Or that it uses an entirely different mechanic at all that doesnt cause repetitive stress injuries to people’s hands. :C

Have done airship/rd fight many times with small/full party. The encounter is easily top 5 best examples of jankinogi, where playing the game just means playing the jank. The name of the game is to see which ballista works, and fail if you stay on the duds for too long. -10/10 horrendous player experience, would absolutely not recommend. Sure we can afford to skip rd encounters, but is that fun? Remove rd encounter, remove dud ballistae on encounter, reduce hitcounts, or something else would be great please and thank you!

I'm amazed people do Airship at all tbh when you could just do the land party commerce, get a box full of 70,000 Ducats, and call it a day.
