Zeppelin Gas Cell (Hydrogen Balloon)

Description
Standalone Hydrogen tank with a twist
Will apply force up to 100kN(atm it is actually about 6MN i think) upwards depending on parameters such as:
Atmosphere density
% of tank's capacity filled (you need to fill the tank with hydrogen for it to work)

YOU NEED TO FILL THE BALLOON WITH HYDROGEN FOR IT TO WORK
and still that is true only for atmosphere

not sure what else to describe
Large grid only (yet)
approx 1 tank for 500 tonns, likely to tone down i guess


Gonna explain a bit on the screen shot with hydro tanks:
Example Balloon is stable on this altitude.
However i couldn't take a shot with 0.0m/s speed as i initially planed since it started to orbit the planet

This is a function that should have existed for a long time in SE.
An update is needed. They could use a modular system similar to the one in the Forever Skies game.

Is there any chance we'll get 3x3x3 and 2x2x2 versions for small grid?

They should work with any grid, sub or no.

Anyone know if these work with subgrids or do they only work with primary grids?

@Mojo - The Hindenburg was his 128th airship built and crashed and burned, the guy was consistent and poor.

KeeN tell us we not need new stuff. Still MOD to fun to play with and this may be vannila from start as is pure engineering.
Make SE better!

Light gas buoyancy devices and vacuum buoyancy devices need to be in the base game for use in atmospheres. Dependency handling and ordering is also a major issue when adding mods to a world.

It seems to turn invisible upon reloading my save.
