Heavensward personal airship=\=FC Airship?

[Osiril]

I read some interview where Yoshi say about airships that we can build within FC and later on use in scout missions, some time after even in some airship battles, thats fine for ppls who prefer spending their time on building with others FC airship and then give it under command of FC leader :/
But what with those who want personal, smaller airship? Even that kind of airship will exist in Heavensward? And if yes then it have same gameplay possibilieties as FC big airship (scouting missions, battles etc.)?

Someone know something more or suspect what it will be??

I recall in some of the previews there was something that looked like a small one man craft... But I don't know for sure.

There is a personal one man airship but there is also 4 FC airships you build and send out. And from what I understood it's meant to be so that once you scout the location you go there with your fc to hunt HNMs and such...

Yes there is a personal Airship, it was shown in the trailer with the flying black chocobo (its in the background somewhere) and in the london fanfest it was pointed out when they were talking about errors and spoilers in the trailers.
How we get the personal airship is anybodies guess but the parts shown in the Machinist guild room looks like the personal airship.

the FC airship will be used in different area of the game, don't expect the personal airship to bring you there

This questions has been driving me mad since the word "personal airships" was first uttered. Since it would seem that the mechanism used to create both FC airships and further customize a FC house is the same (basement workshop) i would REALLY REALLY hope that personal houses AT LEAST get the ability to further customize their house as well.

So if personal houses get the basement workshop then i see the "personal airship" fitting very nice into this spot. When you think about it... yes you can craft the personal airship and reach these crazy areas where FC ships are flying all over but you sure as hell will not be able to take on any of the HNM's walking/flying about or challenge any other the other FC/mass people challenges.

I came up with this conclusion because they started talking about rare gathering spots in these "only airship" areas. Will you really be required to strap up your FC folks just so you can go gather a node right quick? (unless it's the "send your airship out to gather like ventures kinda thing they were talking about) personal airships also fit this bill perfectly.

FC Airships could be interesting, I'm imagining something for extra exploration (maybe even something like the personal airships in SWTOR... but for FC's). Well if we do get FC Airships... something needs to be done about the shortage of housing on some of the higher populated servers and not just say for people to move to other servers etc.

It was implied that some gathering areas and materials will only be available via exploration missions in a FC airship. I foresee lots of arguments and upset when people realise that the FC Bosses get to choose if you can play part in certain game events as it's walled behind their choices.

I really hope the meaning was 'lost in translation'.
