Quote: SMP!!!!!
Controller block direction determines initial ship direction
Ships consume fuel (configurable)
Crashing the ship at high speed will cause blocks to break
Remote control
Ships created in water (or lava?) will have vertical motion disabled
Configuration file (custom blocklists etc)
Chests/Furnaces/Workbench functionality.
Non-ugly texture for controller

More complicated (and expensive) recipe
Be able to place new blocks while ship is in motion (and break blocks)
Momentum
