| | + | ==Improvement Schedule== |
| | + | Any given ship has 3 improvement slots each day of the week. |
| | + | *Those slots always have a default improvement for a given day, but for ships being [[Improvement/Helper|helper]] of some specific equipment, those slots are reattributed to those equipment. |
| | + | *The equipment attribution is independent between remodels, but is often shared for all remodels of a given ship. |
| | + | **This means that only up to 21 equipment can be attributed to a given ship remodel (usually much less). |
| | + | |
| | + | The default improvement schedule common to all ships with no defined helper equipment (or with Akashi alone) is as follows: |
