The Flying Dutchman

Post by The Yosemite Bear »

Ok, it's a Zepplin with a Galleon slung under neath controlling it, it fly's via some Anti-gravity gizmo, and I guess those gun ports on the Galleon do something....

So any idea's for my Comic Hero's ride of choice?

Well... If we work together, my character can creat magically powered railguns...once he learns how to infuse objects with magical energy(this will be one of the first things he does)

I like my huge submarine aircraft carrier with a folding flight deck to retain a decent underwater hull form. Your uber Zeppelin fits well with that though you might want to add some form of smaller craft like a trapeze for a fighter or helicopter for convenient transit. What this thing look like anyway?

The Zepplin is from the Comic book STGOD, and it does have small craft "Launches" two kinds actually, the ST shuttle/Avenger Quinjet inspired VTOL, and the Treasure planet inspired Anti-G boards.

For some reason I am suddenly reminded of the Disney cartoon show Talespin. You remember the air pirates, the Iron Vulture and Don Karnage?
