Description
The dreaded air fortress Galamoth. If this ship had a motto, it would be "Judge, Jury, and Executioner."Useful facts:
Length- 1200 meters
Max. Diameter- 300 meters
Armament:
Main- 8x Class A Energy cannons
Secondary- 24x 800 mm cannons
Tertiary- numerous AA points
Engines:
8x 900 kW engines (type unknown)
Known Information:
The Galamoth is the flagship of the dreaded Necrosian forces, capable of delivering blistering punishment to land and sea based targets. Few forces have the ability to defend against it, much less combat it in the air. The colonial forces of Otheria fell quickly to the massive air fortress. Currently she has been spotted on the Yezan frontier, likely spearheading the Dark Lord's next campaign.

Astonishing and beautiful!
Also how the heck have I missed seeing this gem?
Well I've fixed that now, with a favorite.
Lovely vessel Necromancer, incredibly over-sized, over-powered, and Overlordly!

Nice caption. The steam hot-air airship is the design someone has to make and fly!

I've never honestly given too much thought to what makes this ship stay in the air. Taking a completely realistic view, I'm not sure hot-air alone would keep such a thing up, but it might have some part in it. The world that this thing comes from is a mash-up of Steampunk and High Fantasy, so not all things are bound to real-world rules.
On the matter of actual applications of hot-air airships, I believe our friends in Russia have had some success with them over the past fifteen or so years.

in terms of tecnology for airships, recent developments in lightweight materials look very promising, its just all very expensive to develop

Thats true. I know there was some talk a few years back about the possibilities of carbon fiber for airship frames, but that stuff is insanely expensive. Not to mention the drastic improvement with synthetic materials for gas cells as compared to the old goldbeater's skin sandwiched between silk or cotton...
Even in the realm of lighter, more efficient engines for aircraft. While a big airship would never really travel at more than 100 mph, certainly the advancements made in prop engines for airplanes would contribute greatly.

indee, its such a shame theres little development in them, there has been some miltary interest, hich would be the best way to get money into the development, but its an under rated area

Very interesting exchange of ideas, you two.

Well, if the hydrogen cells would be at a sufficient distance from the source of open flame, and the ventilation/pressure valves would be capable, certainly it could work. I'll admit I'd perhaps be a little nervous to board such a vessel, but it is an intriguing idea none-the-less. Insane? No. Requiring some amount of careful safety planning? Yes.
