@Qwill: Stop hallucinating: I never said a thing about ropes of any kind. I am basing any further talk on airships on your second design, as it allows for customization.
I'm sorry, I don't even know what I was talking about any more. I think I was confused when you started talking about a second design system or somesuch.
Quote from Drury »
There would be two worlds in MC - World UP and World DOWN. World UP would be simply group of floating islands very high above World DOWN. World DOWN will be simply land with oceans, lakes etc. Players in World UP will use airships to travel between cities, players in World DOWN will use trains. Players would be able to fly down from World UP to World DOWN on airships and players from World DOWN would be able to build airships to fly up.
Sounds epic. A great idea. The only consideration is that the islands shouldn't cast shadows on the ground below. Possibly, the top should be a whole different map. I'm imagining the possibilities right now...
Mountains that stretch above the clods anyone?
Also: 72% Yes! Booyah!

Wow, yeah
I hope this isn't too difficult time-eating to implement, i'm already crazy from waiting for infinite :biggrin.gif:
The Airspace/Terra firma idea presented recently in this thread is excellent because it allows players to decide which kind of MP Survival context and society they would like to participate in: a world of airships and floating islands on which there are numerous risks due to the extreme height and conditions present, or a less fast-paced and more sedentary ground world where major settlements can begin and flourish, only ever being threatened by major warfare and conflict with enemies, and with mobs.
That, and we can make a virtual version of Arcadia from Skies of Arcadia. To me, in my ever-so-honest-opinion, this would be monumental.

I'm for MineCarts acting like trains, not so sure about Airships.
But if we DO have airships, they have to be extremely susceptible to damage (An arrow to the gas-sacks would essentially "Pop" it, a fire onboard would make it explode like a shittonne of TNT)
Hindenburg?

Some of us were thinking Hindenburg, particularly CG32. Blimps and zeppelins would do well as scouting vessels, considering that the vehicles are incapable of holding a heavy payload without losing altitude.

This may be a fad, but I love dragons, so why the heck not?
I'll bet you get into a lot of fights because you're so hardcore. I wouldn't want to cross you in a dark alley. Heck, even in a lit alley, I bet that'd be pretty dangerous.
@Canadian_x360a: You're going to destroy your computer? Sweet! I won't have to look at any-more posts without an actual argument posted. Or maybe you're so happy you couldn't contain your excitement and had to destroy your computer before your head blew up from the pure awesomeness streaming in through your eyes. In that case, good pre-planning! We don't want anybody's head to blow up!

...There's so many images I could use to express how I feel right now....guess I'll have to choose just one...

@Canadian: Suit yourself. However, you are starting to become obnoxious. Remember that I am a moderator, and I can -- and probably am obligated to deal with increasingly-abusive posts and posters. Besides, you aren't making any argument by posting images to hide yourself and give us a rough approximate of your current feelings. Still, I would like you to troll me for a bit, if only because that would be funny. That is what I am thinking of right now.
Hmm, I''ll look up the video when I feel inclined.

Finally watched the video. I laughed, and then I... well you know.

Pretty funny for a bit. Of course, though, they just had to go for the repetition bits around the 2 minute mark. Annoying.
Regardless, we need to get this topic back onto discussion of -- well, airships and trains. Speaking of which, I am going to bet that someone is just going to make a railway company if this idea gets implemented.

But that's just my opinion.
I think that's actually a picture from Jizz in My Pants, implying that he thinks it's an awesome idea. :smile.gif:

....if this gets implemented, I'm gonna do this:
You should check it out. It's a really funny music video made by a bunch of guys from Saturday Night Live. :laugh.gif:
I also think the 2-level environments with separate means of travel idea sounds awesome.
