ok i just tried this mod out and its pretty sweet, all you have to do is place a controll block on a structure 1024 or less and you can fly it around, turn it, and just explore with it. I urge you to try this if you haven't. Theirs also 3 different control blocks in the most recent update. The Ship controller which allows you to only move it on the height thats its on, can't raise or lower the elevation. The Elevator controller which only allows you to move up and down, and then the Airship controller which allows you to move up down, side to side, and much more! This is by all time my favorite mod and maybe we could try it on the server one day?

The zeppelin mod is a great mod. You feel so powerful flying around in your giant airplane.

It's a good mod but it won't be on the server. The great thing about CF:UK is that it is very close to vanilla and mods might ruin it.

We did in fact try a similar mod. Suffice to say.. not worth the issues.
Main problem with most mods, they require the users to download it as well.
Or on a SMP server they cause additional lag and just make everything far too complicated.

Its good, but things like the Economy plugin which require no additional files to run are better.

I agree With Dubien, but it still is pretty cool...

It's great but...

God it'd be a nightmare on the server

If it was to work on the server, i heard that their bringing out an even newer version for servers and the maker wrote that he would try and sort out the bugs in it.

Agreed, especially the elevator functionality is great. However, one of the main reasons why I love CFUK is that it's hardcore vanilla. : )

I suppose but i was wondering how the skylands work as it cant be a mod as everyone can go there without installing it but is it too complicated for a plugin?
