A medium Airship i originally built for mushroom island wizard gang, made for exploration and efficient pillaging diplomacy, retrofitted to use no extra mods.

It's diplomatic arrival aims to show the control room fit to be used comfortably and effortlessly your business shouldn't be your hassle!

Features:

Fire retardant materials! While unintentional this ship is mostly safe if fire arrows actually spread fire in your world.

The "Molefeeder" dual chamber steam engine, capable of moving the vehicle even under lack of fuel

The "SlamIt!" throttle governor, no matter the given throttle setting it will not exceed the set trim, and exceeding said trim won't render you stationary! prevents rapid throttle nose dive at high throttle settings by gradually increasing the speed (edit the inductions if 3s change is too slow), unless you keep throttle up and then turn on cruise, not foolproof but i did my best.

WASD Tank steering remote for hard to navigate areas (in case controller unlinks or lost, use the 3x3 grid in the balloon located right behind fuel lamp receiver. it's positioned to align with ship's front

Laser landing guidance system: to aim at your landing location! As The Ambassador you cannot expect the location to have a proper landing already built, the landing gear makes best use of any flat terrain you'll manage to locate.

Sticker powered landing gear: Your ship is likely to stay where you left it, or you can make that pretty castle you found while travelling yours! just make it into a physics entity and make it meet your landing gear! (has successfully moved two medium starter homes across 11k blocks in two trips)
Allows to use it as a base for various tools, crates or bombs! the diplomacy comes in many flavours!

Automatic fuelling system, because nobody has time feeding even 2 blaze burners!

Plentiful cargo hold and room to accessorize as prior flair was replaced for compatibility.

All the dashboard signs! (sadly require manual re-connection)

Cruise control for the long flights!

Horn to announce your diplomatic arrival!

Quickstart:
Get up into the balloon and move to the front to locate the assembler.
Add water to the Engine trough (refer to screenshots)
Pull the fuel supply lever to disengage the mechanical arm
Spin the crank!
Set the trim w/o fuel to 5 unless you plan to change the blades or the engine

Congratulations! you've turned on the Fuel-less mode of the contraption!

Now unless you plan to move 3.14m/s it will be enough. However if your important rendezvous cannot wait for you to arrive:
Reset mechanical arm to feed the burners from nearby supply depot.
Provide burnables into the barrel.
Disengage fuel lever to free the clutch and let the arm do it's job!
The fuel light is currently set to light up at threshold of 2 stacks of fuel and light will turn off below a stack.
Set the trim with fuel to 11 unless you plan to change the blades or the engines

Downsides
Apparently you'll have to link all those display links yourself. Important: Use the main burner (the 4 burner set) to read current volume, unless you wish the dash to read "no balloon above"
Tank steering is quite too responsive at higher speeds, thus the steering wheel.
Nose diving during acceleration. front sails are aimed to rectify the problem, however at higher altitude they might be insufficient.
Pilot seat may be too high, i suggest using the chair from Create:Interiors if it bothers you too much.
