Zeppelins.

[LordPatrick]

How many people even know they exist in GK? I flew over Bomboria in one after I learned about them a few days ago; it seemed that no one knew they existed, and anyone who did, didn't care. Infact, two people tried to destroy my zeppelin, but thats besides the point.

I heard one can put a zeppelin in a sack of holding. Er, while that would be nice... I have no idea what to do.

My main problem is that I like zeppelins; I store my stuff somewhere, become light and drift around. Good fun. But they serve no good use! 5 boards, 4 small nuggets and 10 cloth to make one... the 10 cloth is the tough part, really. It says they are for going to other islands, but so are boats. And boats are easier to make, faster, and are much more difficult to destroy. They also don't have a weight limit.

it seems as of now the Zeppelin is useless. You *could* go to another island with it, yes, but you land it and someone will take it eventally. You can't have much weight on you, so it eliminates using them to speed up mining... and people destroy them in a couple hits. Especially people who have 5.0 movement speed and +10 weapons.

I have two suggestions; either make the zeppelin easier to make (Cloth isn't exactly easy for me to come by) or make the zeppelin attached to the user. Maybe, when the person lands, the Zeppelin goes into their inventory; without air in it, I don't think it would be *too* heavy. Perhaps, if someone 'destroys' the zeppelin, it makes the captain land, and the zeppelin goes into their inventory, and needs repairing (Perhaps 10 boards or so, or bringing it to someone?)

When the player wants to fly the zeppelin again, it could become equipped, and the player would have to pump it with air (somehow...).

I simply think that Zeppelins hold great fun and potential but are overly ignored... I'm sorry if any of my opinions have offended you in any way, as they are just that; opinions.

They do seem to be overly ignored. I've known about them for ages but never bothered to make and use one, so i'd too like to see something worth using them for. They could be good items to use in an event.

[LordPatrick]

Oh, perhaps I should mentioned; it only "flies" when you have about 100KG of weight or less, at about 200KG, you hop, and my friend had 900KG couldn't get off the ground. And then the zeppelin vanished.

If the zeppelin's weight cap could be changed, that would also be nice. By the time you have a low enough weight to fly, you don't have any items to accomplish anything, generally. I imagine it's only use so far is to explore and show off.

[sage_scooby]

I understand the weight cap but it could do with a little adjusting. I think the zepplins are great fun also, but I never want to take the time to unload all my stuff to fly it. Not to mention I put myself in danger to unload all of my items just to go flying.

[LordPatrick]

Though it sounds crazy, I think it should fly as well with 100KG as with, what seems fair... 500 KG. It may seem like a lot, but it gives you the ability to actually do things with it. Maybe 400KG if that seems like too much... and some way to carry the zeppelin is needed. I can see that I could use a Zeppelin, fly to a mine, carry it, mine for a bit, and fly back. It doesn't really unbalanced like that. Something must be done though, and I hate to see such a nice idea like Zeppelins wasted.

[Zurkiba]

They take too much work for too little perks.

Myself and Zen tried to make it so that kingdoms could have like huge flying zepplins and stuff, for battleships and crap.

[Zxion]

That would be really cool, having battles in the air. You could have the cannons on it just like the boats do, plus also have a dive bomb type thing so it can hit people below. XD

you can already fight out of them, you can shoot arrows and magic from the zeplins, and patrick, try the dungens, i get so much skin i have trouble moving, but them i eat it all muahahahahahaha
