There is a little booth to the starboard side of the ramp behind the pilot. Fun fact: the needle at the bottom of the spire is for docking with a waste treatment facility. The crew's refuse is stored and flushed out far away from the manned part of the ship. Unlike other ships of the fleet the Spire is allowed to patrol over populated areas since they do not generate "clear sky rain."

How does using a fire extinguisher on the Metal Capsule at deck level put out a fire on the top of the balloon?

There's a worm hole that starts in that Metal Capsule and leads to a hidden vent system that ends in the bottom of the balloon. Since the fire ext.'s material gets mixed with worm molecules in the way there, it becomes lighter than the hydrogen in the balloon and goes all the way to the top.

Why is the first/third person view key not mentioned in the manual?

Because you don't have third person view in reallife. This has a link towards you not being informed to this in the manual because there is no manual of your reallife.
Then 3rd person looked a bit silly as you can see your own back. muse tried to implement that you can see your front but then this will trigger the selfinflicting damage on you ship that you will get during sanbox games. as my conclusion comes that you're face is too beautifull ti be seen by yourself and the game reacts to it by destroying your own ship.

Why isn't the balloon filled with helium?

Helium was only used in the old days by those poor land lubber people who couldn't afford REAL floaty air stuff. Balloons are filled with dust now because it's attracted to other dust particles by means of magnetism caused by The Age of Dust. If this doesn't make any sense to you then I will explain it with a picture.
(.)~~~~~~~~~~~~.:.:::
^Balloon ^Magnetism ^Other Dust

That wooshy air noise the balloon makes when you inflate/deflate it isn't air it's actually dust being poured in and out of the compartment

How do we inflate/deflate the balloon? When there don't seem to be any triggers near the helm for it.

If you know that there are eagles flying on the map, we use those.
Pilots can use a jedi mindcontrol trick to order those eagles to puncture holes in the balloon to deflate, and blow into those holes to make the balloon inflate. They also spit on the hole to patch it up afterwards.

Why can't you walk ontop of the balloon?

In the early versions of the game players could walk on top of the balloon. There was even a spring physics system similar to the bounce houses people rent for children's birthday parties. Unfortunately players were having too much fun just jumping around on the balloon that no one was shooting at each other. Bubbles said this was not the direction he wanted to take the game and axed the feature.

What is the sail on the bottom of the galleon for?

The sail under the galleon was to perform special action in case of being boarded. When the galleon is being boarded by the enemy, the pilot would simply cut on of the ropes so the lower sails catch wind and couse the galleon to do a barrel roll. in this action the boarding enemy would fall off and fall to their death as the crew and pilot are secure with a lifeline onto the ship.

Zill is not a game mechanic, and thus can not be OP. One can not simply choose to go Zill to win every match. Trust me I have tried. Zill is a combination of knowledge, timing, social contacts, and pure aggression that turn his ship into an unstoppable killing machine. He plays the game at a level we mere humans can not comprehend. He intuitively knows where you spawn and what path through the level you will take.  He will strike when you least expect and can escape any ambush. He doesn't run from a fight so much as refuse to engage on your terms. When he does engage he will do so with a tactical advantage that guarantees his victory (even if you don't see it). He knows the counter to every build and ship pairing. If you see Zill's ship outside of your weapon range he is trying to lure you into a trap. If you see Zill's ship inside your weapon range you are already dead. We tell ourselves that Zill is OP because it helps us sleep at night. It helps us live with our flaws as men and leaders of men.

Nobody built the snowman and Fjords, it is a sentient being that was born in the smokestack of a Mobula.

It's said that a pilot attempted to 'do a barrel roll' in that area and Mr. Snowy just tumbled out.


The rest of the crew died horrible tragic deaths.

Why aren't there any rumors or ghost stories in this game?

Because we can all just blame the powder monkey for losing, no need to make up ghosts for that.

They made him some sabotaged wings and stole the guns while he wasn't looking (from the Greek perspective not a lore perspective)

Muse stole the guns to fight druglords in africa. Even as we speak, Keyvias is leading a fleet of pyramidions towards battle to take control over the resource point in Kapetown. Since Muse loses alot of ship in battle they wont have enough money to buy new guns, as an solution they stole them. When they have enough they will sell the Guns of Icarus Online to buy better guns.

What is Coldcurse?
