        One thing I always wondered about is why the designers didn't use that
type of 'airship' over the 'flying animals' that they went with.  Might
have attracted more people.  Anyways, such ships would be neat, but
probably you'd end up with a different 'feel' for the game (I'd almost
recommend choosing 'airships' or 'animalships', but not both).  The
problem with them would likely be deckplans might be difficult to
design.
