    Whilst he was before my time, this is Darg, not Drag, before anyone thinks otherwise. Also, nice to see some oldies coming back I guess.

    In terms of actual aircraft, there's just a test piece ingame which we're developing at the moment. It basically just flies up and in a straight line at the moment, it runs off Krenzo's old aircraft code. There are a few maps with novelty blimps in though, but they aren't flyable or anything.

    I generally though blimps referred to blimps, and blimbs were proper aircraft. But I could be wrong.

    Blimps are just big balloons I think, not usually propelled much.

    Zeppelins are actual powered rigid body aircraft.

    haha, that looks brilliant. Now just change the model to a proper blimb!

    If I remember rightly either Krenzo or someone on the forums typoed blimb at some point and it stuck.

    Pity there aren't many people playing anymore, atleast it means everyone's in one server. From what I saw playing last night it's busy til late at night. :)

    Since I've been gone I've gotten a degree in software development and a masters in game development so I might be able to help with some coding and/or modelling if there is a need for me. I won't say I can provide a load of work as I'm looking for a job right now which will probably involve moving to England in a couple of weeks.

    If you can provide either modelling or coding that would be fantastic, we're on a recruitment drive for new developers at the moment. If you are interested, even just to see how things are at the moment and what's getting done, just contact either myself or MOOtant.
