After
all,
aren't
trains
bound
to
train
tracks,
and
wouldn't
constructing
them
be
a
tedious
task,
even
more
so
than
using
air
transports
or
a
Djinn?

Now an airship plant, on the other hand, I could see being useful, especially if we envisioned the airships as being essentially slow flying tanks (much like comparing the slow and heavy tanks to the fast and lightweight rovers, think Battlecruisers from StarCraft). In addition to adding the Zeppelin (ultra-slow shielded airship) to the factory's build list, along with a construction airship, a skirmisher airship, a riot airship, an assault airship, an anti-air airship, and even an artillery airship, I'm sure that the Krow could be moved there and replaced with, say, the Abaddon (airborne anti-heavy saturation artillery platform), and I'm sure that we'd be able to bring the [url=http://zero-k.info/mediawiki/index.php?title=Eclipse]Eclipse's[/url] model back from Limbo to be used in some new airship. Sadly, I doubt that there'd be an airship for raiding, since they tend to be rather slow-moving, though perhaps an airship with tractor beams (possibly the Roswell) could serve in an anti-skirmisher role, and there could be cheap but slow airships for use as scouts?

Let's brainstorm some ideas for unorthodox, but surprisingly viable units or structures (including lethal joke units/structures).
