How do these airships fly?

<< < (2/6) > >>

Queso:
You know what all that rigidity is for? These airships aren't filled with gas, they are actually carrying carefully sealed vacuums! See a vacuum has no density, so it will float better than anything. However, the weight of the ship still drags it down. As for why hydrogen makes it more maneuverable vertically, that's not actually filling the balloon, but using hydrogen as a rocket fuel to move up or down.

Imagine:
Alternatively, we're not on earth and gravity is different?

This perfectly explains the lack of fall damage


Or two-feet jumps


It also perfectly explains engineer stamina... oh god, youve doomed us all imagine

Doesnt explain teleports and blackouts on fall so well though..try harder
