Why airships?
Keon:
I feel like skywhales deflate naturally and need to rest in the ocean every winter where they use electrolysis to reinflate. They loose the ability to fly and are killed by poachers and sharks alike.
(Also, is it bad that I have a strong suspicion what they use as ballast?)
JaegerDelta:
no no no no no. you are all wrong, the skywhale's heart is actually a nuclear fusion reaction that produces helium. which is why they dont explode when you shoot them. the reaction is fueled by the populace's belief in skywhales. there are so few now because, by and large, have stopped believing in them. Only a true believer in the majestic skywhale will ever see a skywhale, the creature will be drawn to the psychic believe energies emitted by the true believer. The closer the skywhale gets the stronger the psycho-magnetic resonance, leading to increased fusion activity and helium production. This increased helium production leads to the high altitude climb behavior described in almost every skywhale sighting.
come on guys. do your research :P
Gato Blanco:
So, to revive skywhales, we need to clap our hands?
EDIT: OH GOD, CLOUD KRAKEN

Lord Dick Tim:
Well, two things.
You all found the original post, that fateful day when cloud whales turned into sky whales. It started as a suggestion in the launch video, good times. Paper plates with "press x for skywhales" got pressed in front of the camera. I'm sure alcohol was very much involved with its original rise.
Second, I don't have a second, I just wanted to seem like I had more stuff to say. Cause, like, sky whales, and stuff.
I still like my first idea, giant creatures ships fight to bring down by harpooning the creature to keep it from escaping the map. It bucks, moves, turns and throws the ships around to try and smack them into each other or the terrain. Gunners would have to know when to cut the line or get "dragged under" by the whale. It could be a pretty neat coordination of ship captains, gunners and engineers.
Gato Blanco:
Game mode: sky whaling. PVE coordinated effort, using harpoons to grab as well as other weapons to weaken the whale (be careful not to kill it!)
Also, could make a "Capture the Whale" format, where you have whalers and a militant Greenpeace. The whales wouldn't buck like in Skywhaling, but would slow down ships. Whalers have to pull the whale to a whale processing ship, defenders have to kill whalers and let the whale fly back to its school. Whale would be invulnerable because if the whale would die, both teams loose, and that could lead to trolling as a loosing team would just kill the whale to force a draw.
