Airships
Why sail the seas when you can sail the sky?
What it is
An airship is a ship that traded the ocean for the clouds. Same building freedom, same helm controls — but with altitude. Cruise over mountains, park above your base, descend dramatically into someone's backyard.
How to take off
- Craft a regular Ship's Helm first.
- Upgrade it: surround the helm with 8 feathers to craft an Airship Helm.
- Place it on your build, take the seat, and fly — same W/A/S/D controls, plus climbing and descending.
Good to know
- Riding a moving airship will never kick you for "flying" — the ship shields everyone aboard from the server's flight detection (fixed in Sailcraft 3.4.1, see the dev log).
- Gravity still applies to YOU. Falling off an airship at height ends how you'd expect. Build railings.
