Its a game with airships and even larger airships that shouldn't even be able to fly duking it out in the air. Plus sailors are often superstitious folk. I'd imagine there would be sorts of stories. Specially when you have wreaks of giant airships on landscapes.

I totally agree that legends would possibly tell of mysterious ghost ships. But actually having them be real, actual entities would push the theme of the world into fantasy.
Regarding the realism of the ships, of course they wouldn't be able to fly in real life. The game's world is not trying to be realistic, but it is trying to be authentic in its aesthetics and what can or cannot happen. Magic or supernatural forces would stick out like a sore thumb in the world of GoI, no matter how small the balloon on a Spire is.
Sgt. Spoon:
Made me remember this (last topic). When the flares first were added to the game we used to joke around with them, making ghost ships and all that. I guess Jess had a similar thought in mind when she wrote that, so I guess there's still some legends about the supernatural in the lore, real or not.
The Sky Wolf:
Not that it's a big deal whatsoever, but people keep complaining that ghost ships would make the game more magical ...When ghosts really have yet to be dis-proven as a real phenomenon.
Voodoo would be one thing, but a rare siting of a ghostly ship would be another... Ghosts are supposedly just the temporarily visible residual of energy left over from high energy events that are suspended in time and grounded to the area in which the events occurred.
Nidh:
I think if it's represented well it would be really awesome to see. It doesn't have to be glowing bright green and see-through, it could just be an ominous, decaying wreck of a ship floating unnervingly in the background.
I mean, I try to pretend my Galleon is an ominous ghost ship anyway lol
Gryphos:
I know I'm going off-topic, but I can't help but address this.

Are you honestly trying to vouch for the existence of ghosts in real life? Seriously?
If so, that's just silly.
