The Zeppelin is a transport and support aircraft.
A Zeppelin is a slow and fragile aircraft, mainly used as a personnel carrier that can hold a small amount of storage. It is allowed a limited armament of Bombs, although they are best utilized on carried Bombers.
It is also one of the ships able to launch combat aircraft (the other is the Aircraft Carrier); Bombers and Fighters can only move within a 400 block radius of a piloted, friendly Zeppelin, that is located in Wilderness.
Like other transport crafts, the Zeppelin can quickly load and unload items using the cargo commands.

Piloting a Zeppelin increases your render distance to 10 chunks maximum, until you release the craft.
The Zeppelin can fly no higher than 100 blocks above ground.
