What to do with a giant floating lump of iron...

Well, I've spent today building a great big iron skyship. That's all well and good, but I've got absolutely no idea what to actually put
inside the thing. It's roughly the size of the SS Sneakypie I think, but longer and thinner. What should I do with the space?

Sacrifices like in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (To please vallorn and his love of lava)

This suggestion of lava is not surprising.
But no. Possibly lava and pistons on the bottom of the hull to rain firey death on those below...

My first thought was: damn that's a lot of iron. I'm hoping that was made in creative, if not then you're crazy.
My second thought was: that's a very small small balloon to be carrying such a big ship.
Inside should be TNT cannons of course, for blasting away the sky-pirates.

Yeah, I agree with Jake. The Balloon is a bit small... .-.
The newest airship I made has a double balloon

yeah, creative. It's attached to my laboratory on the cliffs. I'm not
quite mad enough to do that anywhere else. What you're also forgetting is that the balloon is filled with
magic actually I'm going to make it bigger, I didn't realise how small it was when I made it.

I would tell you, but I don't know because I kept falling to my death when I was making it. I don't think my shift key likes me very much.

Uh... no. I could probably give a rough estimate of how much iron it took if I take a few minutes to actually check.

I think a gold one might be the ugliest thing since the invention of the dirt house.
All this is well and good, but the ship is still empty. I need ideas people!

Fully-functioning cannons. We must prepare this beast for battle!

The balloon is being replaced. With two balloons! Dastardly. Also, I'm christening the ship when it's finished the
Roisin Dubh. Means 'Black Rose' in Irish, and it's an
awesome Thin Lizzy song. As everyone knows, Thin Lizzy are the best band anywhere, ever.

Actually it wasn't. It was there before the skyship, but not my lab.

I've made a doom weapon. The hull drops lava out, but it derps up and creates massive lava towers under the ship. Maybe if Notch ever fixes lava then I can use it. I'm putting in cabins and things belowdecks, and I'm gonna make a great big Zeppelin too!

As anyone who participated in Arogon's ship battle events may know, I suck at using cannons and pretty much always manage to backfire. That, combined with my crippling laziness to bother making them and how if I cubiod it into Fyra I won't be able to edit it, means that I'm not doing them. Plus if I ever fired them I would hit someone else's, or more worryingly, my stuff. The only armaments the Roisin Dubh has is the doom weapon. Instead, It's mainly going to be my sky-yacht. A sexy yacht, with lava. I've made the crew's quarters and my cabin, now I'm making the classy area for guests and all that. Mayhaps one day I could use it as a hotel or something...

See what the largest piece of complex machinery you can fit in this lump of lion. Also add a mining laser, they're nice
