airships#1132

you are able to captur airships just like you can with drill ships and you can use it like a drill ship just able to fly and has some things like able to go up and down and have a core stuff like that but it can be shot down

Its cool its thematic

Airships would be nothing but useless.
You couldn’t go down, making you unable to survive an eruption.
You also couldn’t go to caves, meaning you can’t destroy lasers, and can’t progress in any way.
Sure you could skip areas, but that’s a bad idea because even if COGs spawned in areas you’re not supposed to be able to access yet (which isn’t the case), they would be way too strong for your current level, and you can’t do anything with the materials you find there anyways.

Basically, airships would be able to fly, and that’s about it.

You can survive for eruption

You can go away to safe from eruption .New Areas unlocked by metal baloon,to explore high.in sky will be flying harbour

The air above and around an active volcano is not safe. You’d have to travel several dozens of kilometers away to be safe, realistically. I don’t see that being possible.

And also : if there were flying cities and stuff in this world, I think we’d know about it. A “flying harbour” makes no sense. What would we even find there ? What would be the point ?

Looks like someone likes air-haven in immortal engines

i think an airship is better than the gyro more steam punk less modern

It wouldn’t be hard at all to make a gyrocopter like this be steampunk. In essence, it’s just a seat with two blades and a motor attached to it. Steampunk knows how to do that. I don’t feel like it’d be out of place in Volcanoids’ universe. And the thing with a copter is that it would be faster, more agile and nimble than an airship, which would feel bigger and clunkier, and not that much more solid.

the island is not that big where you need speed. but with there to my knowlage there is no ideas for the gyro and not much talk about it wouldn’t an airship even if its just a basic one be a common ground between gyro and airship players? you get limited flight not super op. and it keeps with the joke aswell Win - Win how i see it

Honestly, I feel like going fast would be a lot more enjoyable, especially for a flying vehicle.
I’m not quite sure what you’re trying to say by “to my knowlage there is no ideas for the gyro and not much talk about it”.
Also - you’re trying to tell me that an airship is a common ground between copters and airships ?

well if consept art was already started then that means a working model may already be in the work in progress thus changing to an airship would be lost time / work on the devs. but if nothing is started at this point an airship could still be an option.

maybe make it an option on the what to deploy gyro would give speed, airship could give extra cargo outside the player backpack

yes the common ground is controlled flight.

gyrocopter would be hard. You would almost nbe breaking the steampunk boundary

That was brought up and answered already.
