'Landing mechanic'?
Fantoompje:
Heya all, I have been browsing the forum a bit and came across this post:

My question being: What kind of landing mechanic is Wazulu talking about? I admit it's easy for me to get the answer: start a game myself and just test, see what happens! However, since I don't really have the wonderful opportunity to do some !!science!! for a few days, I wonder what happens!
Logically, the ship would be degraded to a measly nautical ship; or is this a faulty assumption?

I would imagine from some hints in the maps that the airships would need to dock to a station since lowering altitude with these airships be it water or ground has a high impact. But this is just guessing..
:-\
Fantoompje:
On the other hand: maybe the ships have been altered in such a way that they are physically unable to function as a 'normal' ship (too heavy, too little buoyancy etc.)?
zlater75@hotmail.com:
Got a point there. Also the environment aspect. Clouds, storms and other dangers. The air is prob the safest place to be for traveling. The water might also be hazardous in consistence and perhaps house seamonsters? :o
Fantoompje:
Dangerous chemicals in the seawater? Or just the negative effect water has on 'delicate' machinery?
