A few suggestions:
Maybe use SphereMeshes to make the actual envelope (gas bag) because the ‘rocket ship’ style doesn’t seem like a blimp.
Definitely more ropes, and make them attached to the sides of the hull. In ‘actual’ flight your envelope and hull would be swaying and rocking around like crazy.
Is this a hot air balloon? I just see the box over top of the forward part of the engine which you seem to be using to collect the engine exhaust.

Here’s a couple ideas you can use: Yeah, steampunk... - Roblox

i guess it is like a hot air balloon, i should probably add something to go with that style of that. thanks for the feedback, also your game looks amazing.

Wow, I would’ve thought that was made in blender. Only a few issues that I see.

  • The cone shape is not the best fit for an blimp, but it’s hard to do that any other way without meshes.

  • The wooden part beneath the balloon looks very loosely connected. Maybe extend the two wooden posts to the bottom of the balloon and add more ropes.

  • I don’t know if this is a design choice, but the propulsion looks more like a jet engine than what I think was supposed to be a propellor

Overall, very nice looking blimp. Very stylized, especially for no meshes.

yea, i definitely should add more ropes, and i’ll connect it to the balloon. also i’m probably gonna keep the cone shape, i like it and it’s not meant to be like a very accurate blimp more of an imaginative one. and i’m not too sure if it’s meant to a propeller either. thanks for the feedback walter white !

just thought i’d tell you, i worked on it and updated the post so if you want to see you now know.

added a ton of ropes and sandbags, go to the post if you wanna see.

Looks amazing now, the cone shape actually looks good now that’s it’s supported properly.

Very well done!

Oh, and the Fabric Material works decently when you use it on narrow ropes.

That is incredible! I am very impressed that you made it in studio, good work!
