The Solaris - Redstone Airship Cruiser

My first attempt at an airship! I tried to make it as hi-tech as possible with:

• 
  
  Piston doors
  
  
• 
  
  Retractable gun shields
  
  
• 
  
  Adjustable trajectory TNT cannons
  
  
• 
  
  Evacuation rooms
  
  
• 
  
  Rapid and single fire side guns
  
  
• 
  
  Piston bomb bay
  
  
• 
  
  Almost all functions can be controlled from the bridge
  
  

There's also crew quarters, an enchanting room, brewing room, medical bay, senior officers area, crafting room, hydroponics areas, storage vaults and more.


The world save also contains my other airship The Photon: http://www.planetminecraft.com/project/the-photon---advanced-redstone-airship/


The two ships are facing each other and within cannon range, so you can have an airship battle!


Any feedback is welcome, especially from other makers of airships!

Additional Notes

Check out the rapid fire mode at the end of the vid!


The side dispensers are filled with fire charges, so if you are running 1.1 you will need to change them for arrows. (But the fire charges look way better!)


The world save is in creative mode
