Finally something different from me: a totally unrealistic steampunk airship!
M.Corp Diplomat is a relatively small luxurious airship (airyacht) produced in small numbers by M.Corp, for M.Corp. These airships haul high executives of the corporation on long journeys to faraway lands.
As any airyacht, Diplomat features a large open deck on top, allowing guests to enjoy scenic view and cool breeze. Interior is spacious, and very luxuriously outfitted. It features glass-encased living space with maintenance room above it and two bedrooms just below an open deck.An office is placed above the gondola.
Airship is controlled from the gondola on its belly, and has a catwalk with a rear observation post behind it. On its sides are two engine gondolas with propellers that drive the craft forward.
Tail is made up of "bat wings" with a large rudder featuring the flag of M.Corp. It is controlled via cables connected to the steering wheel. Attitude of the craft is controlled by shifting ballast.
Instructions:
- Trim to shift ballast (pitch up/down);
- Roll to turn;
- Nose slightly up and throttle up for takeoff.
Notes:
- Be sure to check camera views;
- There's no actual interior, except in the gondola;
- This build has been sitting in my saves for months;
- Yes, it's slow. It's a blimp.
Enjoy.

thanks for not blewing up my ipad
@Nano0629 I'm glad you like it.
Dude Thais is the best thing I ever see with my own 2 eyes
@EternalDarkness Just tested it, armored cars are too heavy.
@anonymoususer976 not a single one. As the description clearly states, it's a flying yacht.
@EternalDarkness I love the diversity. Especially the armored cars. How many armored cars can this airship carry?
@anonymoususer976 indeed. I'm trying not to restrict myself to one area, but to build whatever I find interesting. M.Corp is simply a corporation/country that sort of provides backstory for the builds while not having a consistent backstory of its own.
M.Corp has a quite diverse product line...
have you ever built a Kirov before?
@Newplanewhodis no problem.
@Newplanewhodis there's no need for that. I have a lot of points and followers already. Just enjoy my builds.
@Newplanewhodis sure.
(Sry I just have to) It’s sooo slow!(yes I get that it said that in notes)
@Texasfam04 thank you. It's the best representation of M.Corp flag I managed to do without launching part count through the roof.
this is awesome! i cant use due to current device restrictions but i just had to tell you i think this is a incredible build! i love the dragon also!
a total surprise mate.....
This reminds me of that one Skyrim mod that I can’t remember the name of it.
@EternalDarkness I use Smoke Trails on most of my builds, they look funny to me without them. But I remove them when I post the builds online also, and for the same reasons....
@Type2volkswagen thanks. I was also considering using smoke trails, but decided not to, so iOS users can download it even if they don't know the trick do delete mod parts.
I'm really liking the way you setup the flight dynamics... I added smoke trails to it as your stacks were so cool looking and took a screenshot of it.
@BurkeEnterprise oh, right. USS Akron. I have to go now. See you later.
Getting discord app tomorrow
So do Americans
@BurkeEnterprise Brits considered them navy as far as I know, yes.
@EternalDarkness ALRIGHT! I guess Airships are navy!
