Well, as the title suggests, this type of turtle would be similar to a ship, most close to an 'air ship', being able to fly, and carry at least 4 people would be its main use, it would be something like 4x4x3, why this wouldn't be OP? Well it would obviously call for a HUGE amount of fuel, probably 6x the regular amount. Also the crafting recipe wouldn't be that easy. Now this wouldn't be-able to dig, since there is no pickaxe that big… An upgrade that would be very needed for it, would be rails. so you won't fall off, or a seat, either or. I really think this would be nice to have in CC, and would allow people to make some really awesome programs.

Cool but complicated and otherwise pointless.

Ehh I don't see how it would be 'pointless' so to say, since it would be able to carry people (Having the rail upgrade would probably be easier to make it). Which means you can use it as both a elevator, and a ship. While not being OP, since like I suggested it couldn't mine anything, and costed more fuel.

…Jet packs are not part of CC… And not really, being able to fly up to the top -lets say a mountain- in a couple of seconds rather than either nerd polling up it, or parkouring up it. Sounds better to me, and you can just image the things people will make with it, I already see ( If it was added) a ton of neat programs to fly you around places, plus again, it could be used as a elevator…

Not to be a dick or anything, but rail upgrades arent vanilla CC. So my guess is the developers wont even care about that, since that part is up to peripheral creator.
And to be honest, I dont like this idea very much. It is, like immibis already stated, pointless. I would rather see a rideable turtle than a whole ship.
You know what, if rideable turtles ever get implemented, you can create your ship.
This is just my opinion.

Well a regular ride able turtle wouldn't be that same, why? since in order to make it ship like, it would need to build the ship, then move it for every block… and would end up taking forever just to get a couple blocks…. and I know rail upgrades are not apart of vanilla CC, but I was suggesting them as a upgrade for this type of turtle.

Uhm, that is where the part where programming comes in?
You just send over rednet "go forward" or something and you make them move forward. Its not hard to make it.

That's a little harsh don't you think? I do see a lot of use for this idea… I think you guys are not as opened mined as I am then…

I think things need to stay within the spirit of the mod. (With the obvious exception of robot unicorns. :P/>)

Actually that would be pretty cool to see, maybe as an Easter egg or something :P/>

Do you have $10k?
Meh, back on topic. This doesn't really "fit" with the mod, and I don't see it being added.
