Now that we can fly in 1.0 areas, why not just have an Airship that can serve as a small FC house? It doesn’t need to be complicated. It can use multi-person mount as the base, just make it a bit larger, the shape of an airship, a small deck for people to stand around, and some other small amenities you can install.

All members of the FC can have a tracker on map of where the airship is located, but they will need to use their mount to get to it and to climb aboard.

That’s it. No need to be complicated. 4 person mount already exist, this can basically just be 10 person mount. It will help alleviate some housing urges for smaller FC.

Maybe some features:
- It comes with furnished, preset furnitures already, and you cannot add more stuff (because it will stress the servers since this will be overworld). Maximum maybe change textures/colors of furnitures/flags only.
- Maybe can set officers/FC Lead only to be able to steer the airship
- The airship maybe should despawn if all members of FC are offline.
- If you are concerned with many airships hovering over quest areas, crystals, blocking view, blocking sunlight, ruining overworld immersion -- maybe the airship can only be allowed in oversea area, not overland. You know the big oversea open area just outside Limsa.

Of course in the future if the airship gets bigger, you can have a small garden on the deck. A bed below deck.
It would be awesome if they did this as a replacement of a ground fc house, open up more plots, and make it visible but not detailed in field, like a low level could be in east shroud and see a airship above, maybe even with a anchor like in ff12, but upon clicking the anchor, any ship docking in that area can be visted like a ward.
Maybe to stop glitches, have it only able to dock in a area once a day and in the last 30 min of that, it cannot be visited with the notice "the crew is preparing to move, unable to board at this time"
I like the idea of a airship house, though honestly I doubt we'll get it till a system overhaul.
