Highly Trained Recovery Team
| Joner's Edition
We all have fallen from an airship, usually we just pillar up, but no, this time it was different. Different aircrafts like Krestel (bottom right) and airship.app (middle left) were used to recover The Flying Nut after Ferbmicah, the pilot fell. Technical difficulties did not allow the kill switch system to operate properly causing the airship to hover at extreme heights.
Mission resulted in an absolute success resulting in one of the first airship recovery operation using other simulated vehicles. This moment will go down in history as the moment when the collaboration of individuals across several teams resulted in a common good in the server.

Kestrel crashes in forest, Flying Nut overturns during rescue attempt. Kestrel manages to fly away with Flying Nut still attached, but crashes again in a nearby field. Rope connecting Kestrel to Flying Nut is disconnected, Flying Nut floats away. Vercte comes to the rescue, bringing Ferbmicah back to the Flying Nut using Airship.app. Flying Nut crashes, bringing Vercte with it and stranding Airship.app in the air. MatrixXCV flies Vercte back to Airship.app using Kestrel.

Raw Dawgs Co. Ltd.
| "Securing Tomorrow's Outcomes, Today"
Sunday, April 26th, it was discovered that a company had been created by the name of Raw Dawgs. This company was run by no one but Mizu1 himself, the designer of several vehicles including airship.dll and speedboat.dll.
Illegal Physics
Credits: Unknown
A whistleblower reportedly spotted Mizu in an aircraft that is registered under the name of "dlarp" and under Raw Dawg's company name. This aircraft uses a technique with a swivel bearing to create self-propulsion using the pilot's strength. This technique is strictly forbidden and authorities started to plan a way to seize said vehicles.
The Chase
After being confronted, Mizu denied of the existence of the vehicle, and after pushing to confess he proceeded to flee. This action started a server-wide manhunt. Authorities used the airship.app as persecution vehicle until we found the dlarp had crash landed in the forest near spawn.
Shortly after, the airship.app went under maintenance to add a spotlight system. Maintenance crew reported locating Mizu under the airship shortly after. Suspect was neutralized by authorities shortly after but to the surprise of everyone, Raw Dawgs had another unregistered vehicle used for Mizu's escape and he has yet to be found.
Exit
Authorities managed to recover both devices and both were taken to a destruction facility where they were properly discarded off, never to be seen again. We can't stress enough that vehicles like these will NOT be permitted in the server.

Balloon Stealers
| I don't even know what to say
Someone stole Cosmos's balloons from his airships. Do not steal.
Sorry the government started to cut our budget.
Rise of Titans
| A City In The Clouds
"Why is this [elevator] being so weird?" - Astropenguin
The sky just became more logged today, with the launch of the sky city, a over 10000 kpg core structure designed to be expanded into a modular, infinity expandable superstructure.
Overview -
It includes two elevators, a full workshop, control deck, and many, many frogs and is capable of lifting over 8 times it's own weight.
The sky elevator is the first of it's kind and is able to reach from cloud height down to sea level in seconds. It stretches over hundred blocks with ropes using a multi-segmented design.
The workshop includes all the necessities a growing city could possibly need, and includes auto crafters for mechanisms and engines.
"How fast can it go again?" - Joner, not in seat
"it can go from matrix's and back, over 1000 blocks, in about five seconds, so about 200 meter per second" - Cosmos, about to turn the throttle to 15
Modules -
Modules are open to the public to design and build, specifications are still underway but will be available later on via docs. The city will provide fuel and storage network connections for any modules that are added.
Also do make sure not to fall off, we already had half a dozen people die trying to chain clutch.

I messed up stuff with slabs in recipes that made only oak slabs allowed to be used.. Oops
Also recoil springs are back
Removed recipe tweaks and EMI tweaks for that recipe tweak

Closing Word
Hey there! Thanks for reading this weekly article. A lot of things happened this week and I sadly wasn't able to document it all, way to busy. Sorry if I missed any major news. Please ping @epic journalist or @Joner on discord if you want any news reported (I'll also take DMs). As always, stay safe Skyloggers, don't break physics (looking at you Mizu) and have a great time. This is Joner reporting for another week.
