My latest airship. Vectored-thrust contra-rotating engines for high manoeuvrability. Controls: Engines: Left 1 forward, 3 reverse. Right 2 forward 4 reverse. Engine tilt: Down numpad 4, up numpad 1 Elevator: Down up arrow, up down arrow (it made sense at the time...) File: Zep-012.bsg (32.96 KB) It needs more work, as it tends to pop balloons with the propellers if turned tightly - best to practice first with invincibility on.

it is really awesome and it kinda reminds me of a V-tol concept

Now with optional added skyhookery. Good for sheep rustling too. Zep-012-grab.bsg (35.44 KB) 'V' to ungrab, 'J' to jettison the cable. Very tricky to grab anything - the best method seems to be to watch from high and behind, and use the shadow to estimate the height of the grabber above ground. I should probably have added a few more balloons, to compensate for the extra weight, but with the thrust vectoring set well upwards it works. No other changes to the previous file. Needs invincibility mode again though - you'll be sure to pop a few balloons otherwise.

I know the weight might be an issue so you may need to add more balloons but how about sliders for the grabber. use the spring with it so you can contract it back.

I'm only using the spring as a 'rope' - the jerk from contracting it doesn't do the airship a lot of good.

Really loved this design I put it in a highlight video of mine, as someone who sucks with flyers this thing drove really well once I got the controls down. heres the video if you are curious. www.youtube.com/watch?v=swuo0uQvyGYhope you don't mind I of course linked you design in the desc!
