    "We'll wait for it to come around",

    "That'll be like half an hour"

    Ooop, that's too long! It really crawls, even for a sight seeing tour. I suggest 4x the speed at least.

    Fast things look to arcade for me, im glad they slowed the elevators and mining carts... I like the slow realism over button bashing arcade games. Instead of having ships screaming across the landscape unrealistically, why not add another Airship?

    Go have a go around the island on that one. It doesn't have to be screaming, but you don't want the slowness to discourage people from using it.

    Maybe have lever on the airship, next to the helm:
    the default lever position makes the airship fly at its current speed.
    Flip the lever into the other position and it speeds up the airship - full throttle! (maybe stays full throttle for one loop around then resets to default speed, until lever is flipped again).
    Making the ship fly faster may reveal your presence to others in the zone :eek:
    also, if you want to board the airship, the slower default speed means you'd still have to wait a while for it to come to your position.

    I guess you could also put a lever at the boarding locations, and flipping the lever at the boarding location would speed up the airship for a loop (so it would come to you faster).

    There you go. More interactivity is always a win!

    Im against speeding up the airship for the sake of convenience. I would rather waves of pirates attack you when you board it.

    Mzybe they could at least give it a look?

    I mean, when people are literally catching up while running on the ground (yep ,that was happening) that's a damn slow ship.

    When people are saying "well.... I don't think we should take it because it'll take foreeeever", then it kind of ruins the whole thing doesn't it?

    Waves of pirates is a good idea, but man that is a slow ship.

    I would love to see another faster ship on the same track but a little higher. Maybe even at the same height but offset a bit... make them both have levers with different speeds, and maybe even reverse? Could get a couple groups and try to fight each other, board the other ship etc. I agree the speed of the current one makes it pretty useless.

    And put something on it like a captain and crew that spawns with a rare drop so there's something to fight over.
