Airships
warning! German
Trains are boring?
the Water blocks your Way?
Try to fly!

I think of 2 types a 3 Airships. And an extra one...

Fuelpowered mk1: small cargo, small range
..... mk2a: small cargo, big range
..... mk2b: big cargo, small range
Energypowered. Mk1,2a/b
The '13' evry fuel' big cargo, big range
Even small range is bigger as robot range

A airbase 4x7 only place to un/loade and autofly
A smart airbase, un/loade whit robots

All can be build after the train
sma

Is there something missing?

And I've found similars:

So...
the zeppelin was a modrequest, and i think it should be regular in the game.
the plane-thing was kinda a list.
And flying buildings are great, but not the same...
i think of a trainlike cargolifter who dont need rails and fly higher than the robots.
maby worms and splitter or flying ones can bring it down
somethink for the late game, it is freemoving(unlike trains) but slower and expensiv
