What happened
A fictional airship racing and crafting game whose surprise early access launch topped the charts overnight.
Skyforge Drift is a fictional demo game used to test this site template. In the story, the studio dropped an early access build without warning, streamers picked it up within hours and the official site crashed under the traffic. Players now want three things: working codes, which ships are worth building, and when the first season starts.

Codes
There are 4 working codes right now. FORGEFIRST is the newest and gives 500 Embers; redeem codes from Settings, then Extras.
Ship tier list
The Halcyon and the Ironjaw are the two S tier ships after patch 0.9.2. Starters should build the Wren first: it is A tier and costs no rare parts.
Launch times
Season 1 starts on November 7 at 16:00 UTC. The times below are already converted to your own time zone.
Beginner guide
Build the Wren, learn to feather the trim instead of holding it, and save Embers for Rare parts. Those three habits carry you to pilot level 12.
First-day checklist
Tick these off in order on day one. Your progress is saved in this browser, so you can come back after each session.
Fuel calculator
Enter the route length and your ship: the calculator shows fuel cells to load and the Ember profit after fuel. A headwind adds 25%.

Every hidden Ember cache location on all three launch tracks
Twelve caches.
Wake
Short answer first: in this demo there is exactly one beginner trick worth learning before anything else, and it is to release the throttle a fraction of a second before every gate so the wake trail turns orange and your boost meter refills faster, which over a full three-lap race adds up to roughly four seconds and is the difference between a podium and fifth place. This sentence exists to make the lead as long as an over-eager writer might make it, so the layout can be checked for wrapping, spacing and line length on both a 390 pixel phone and a wide desktop screen, with no clipping and no horizontal scroll.
