Flying Ships

There are many kinds of flying ships, there are the three most common:

Steam-powered Ships
Steam-powered ships are often noisy and crude, with big, powerful engines eating up coal to produce the steam that powers the propellers. Their active flight time is limited to the amount of coal they carry. If they run out of coal, the ship simply drops out of the sky.

What they lack in grace and flight time, however, they make up for in strength and sturdiness. Most steam-powered ships can take a ridiculous amount of punishment and still stay afloat.



Balloon-powered Ships
Ships carried aloft by balloons are almost completely silent, and are popular scout, surveillance and bombardment ships. They can stay aloft almost indefinitely, but are fairly slow.

Magic-powered Ships
Most magic flying ships are very fast, and powered by enhancements woven into the vessel. They are often powered by a ring of arcane energy that surrounds the ship, and their weapons are often as elegant and lethal as the ships.
