[ Honshai Mafu ]

|[ Airship #68 ]|
Owned by the Ma Liwei Escorts, Honshai Mafu is a retrofitted Song-class Airship, originally used as a small private airship, the retrofitted Honshai Mafu is armed with two relatively large caliber gun for it's size, boasting the domestically produced Qian 12cm gun, however, thanks to the extra weight of the gun, ammunition store, and extra fuel carried onboard, Honshai Mafu has a mediocre speed and climb rate compared to contemporary airships, still, small-time pirates would have to think twice before attacking if they want to return alive and well, a 5in shell to the face wouldn't feel good after all.

|[ Key points ]|

• [ Ma Liwei Escorts ]: founded in 1822, Ma Liwei Escorts is a small private protection company operating inside Yuelian Empire, owning only 12 airships(including Honshai Mafu), they have a rather mediocre service record and can be hired for relatively cheap.
• [ Qian 12cm ]: a domestically produced Aerial Artillery derived from the 4.7in Model.IX in service with the Visseriestayn Air Army at the time, saw extensive use in the Yuelian Empire both as a military and civilian airship artillery, Qian 12cm stays as one of the more cheaper option for medium-caliber guns available in the Yuelian Market, with ammunition also available at a cheap price.
• [ Pirates ]: Rogue Airship captains that saw plundering and pillaging as a favorable opportunity for wealth, most pirates usually meet their demise but some small percentage grows to be a terrifying and infamous scourge of the skies, establishing their own pirate bands and whatnot.

{ Originally for VR, but cancelled halfway. }

this was originally planned as one of the entries for @EternalDarkness's Airship Challenge, but one of the problems I had was that the VR controls don't really work via the camera since as far as I have tried, Variables don't want to work on the control bases, this was rather pivotal as most of the controls of the Airship was tied to using them, the other was of course, the airship engine itself which I had just solved a week ago or so, and since the deadline was yesterday (July 2nd), I decided to just not join, and with the challenge ending, there was barely reason for me to continue adding more details to the airship itself, however, even if Honshai Mafu is rather lacking in detail, I quite love the simple look it gives, that is all I would say.

P.S. the other one is |[ Airship #53 ]|, [ Sakana ], a small pirate vessel disguised as a Fishing Airship, operating in the anomalous region "Sea of Mirrors"

By the virtue of luck, as we'd say.
