I've always liked the Last Exile style airships:<br/><br/>(http://inferno.slug.org/jpeg/last-exile/last-exile_03.jpg)<br/><br/>Although pretty much all of the ones highlighted in the show were military spec.<br/><br/>I think the issue with a zeppelin would be the fact that even the inclusion of the etherium and a highly efficant steam engine, you get very little actual useable space within a Zepplin considering quite how huge it is.<br/><br/>On the other hand, they do look cool, so I'd be perfectly happy to be based on one.
