Age of Airships - Opinion Poll

[Galejro]

Ok since the mod is finally closing to completion I decided to ask community opinion on the subject;

Do you want an ASAP release date or do you want me to spend more time developing some other miscellaneous stuff? Basically I'm out of ideas and the only things coming to mind is to make the R100 (British Airship) and another Mafia 1 mission like the "Lucky Bastard" mission at the docks? You can suggest some Airships to make or perhaps something else to complete. But the primary question stands, you want a release ASAP or after polishing up & exhausting the subject.

I vote: "After a little more polish and exhausting some more ideas/content".

its 95% as is, though a little bit more in this batch would be great,

as against the possibility of maybe getting a v2, v3 or other update later.

 

I have followed this project with immense interest,

as have others at many local real-world LAN clubs etc.

I would like to see a few more options...

 

 

 

After speaking with a few interested folks locally,

they made some ideas suggestions tentatively for your consideration which I relay to you below;

----

 

maybe some 'generic parts packs' to 'make your own/upgrade' the airship and customize.

so, you can have a 'scrap-airship' proximate to from WaterWorld etc,

which is basically bathtubs, a 'tree-house pallet', a horsefloat, etc all welded together.

"The SS Tetanus"

 

A flying Vault-Tec van/Corvega Chryslus Highwayman or those bubble-cars...

-- I could kludge that with a variant of Automathrone or Schoobert Doobay Doobert.

 

A wicker/reed airship ala "Howl's Flying Castle"/ Tezuka style would be great,

perhaps even with like a 'Macys Parade Mascot-style Balloon"

with like a kludge'd patchwork dodgy balloon,

I could then make that interoperable with Cypher2012s stuff,

and have rollercoasters etc on a giant flying mobile settlement...

that would make the perfect Steampunk present for a few people I know.

 

I also recommend collabing with ZerasCETA on that airship design;

ZerasCETA has already completed some of that, so having that as another type of airship would be awesome to see materialize.

I think that airship could use a Galejro approach, maybe a 'steampunkification'/'lowrider-fication'

 

-----

If you want some more 'zany' ideas;

check out "Bolivian Architecture".

the parade-float zeppelin ideas are like the buildings but made to fly.

that'd go well with the idea

of the Mesa Verdeans being very advanced post 2077.

the MesaVerdeans are an azteca-aztalanos inspired civilization.

H Ellison alludes to the MesaVerdeans and a couple of other groups.

Polish away!

So from the current comments and opinions I guess I should postpone to drop in even more content.

 

- Junk airship is something not that interesting but several people did mention that. Won't be easy but I can try, I mean there were a lot of experimental semi-rigid airships that looked like made of junk. It's also tempting to turn the Far Harbor Yacht boat into one of them Air-Ships... A good Idea for a Junk ship would be a Sentinel Class Airship, the one you see in Order 1886 game. I could slap a bunch of junk into it and make a proper settlement out of it.

 

Other than that it's more about the problem of not having any original uses for those airships. I mean I can make 10 ships that do exactly the same but that'll be boring;

- We already got 3 transport hub ships to move around the world via vertibirds.

- We got 1 Player House ship. And R100 WIP is a second one as well.

- We got 1 Military ship with functionality of a Player House

- We got 1 Super Luxury show-off ship with functionality of a Player House

- We got 1 Useless Museum ship which will probably either piss off people with swastikas or give neonazis boners

- We got 3 Enemy airships to just shoot at.

 

The only thing out there is like you mentioned a junk ship, owned by raiders that we must clear out and turn into a settlement.

I'd say release it once it's ready and update it later if you have anything else you really want to add.

I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to play this as soon as possible, lol
