Moving balloons without having alot of spare weight?

[RekoHart]

Is there any way for me to move a balloon when I don't have enough spare weight to completely remove it?

NO.... Build another baloon on a series of rooms to the side, so that you are in excess of the weight removing the first one.... Now you can remove and place the old one... and simply remove the extra one after...

The ship dosn't have to be balanced but you can only build so far from the baloon.... So by placing new baloons as you build, you extend your build radius.... once the extra rooms are placed you just remove the balloon again.... Repeat as long as your computer can handle the lag :P

Yeah I was hoping to avoid that and simply move an existing balloon, but that works for now. I'm already starting to get a good chunk of frame loss from my new ship size so I think this is it until things are a bit more optimized.

We've been asking for this since Forever Skies dropped in EA but the Devs have yet to cave to our "pressure". And the worst part is we know as fact THEY have this ability >.>

For 3 side by side balloons (I have mine in an arrow formation) the width of your ship has to be 7 rooms. Each balloon takes up a width space of 3 rooms, with the outer 2 overhanging the total width: x--x--x x's are representing the connection points of the balloons

When ship is docked there should be possibility to move baloons. If its not possible in-game at least it should be possible to skip weight restriction and deconstruct baloons. Of course you cannot undock / move without restoring correct lift / weight.

This is the correct answer and I hope FFH sees it from the Players' perspective and gives us this ability in the future. And like I said above, the Devs HAVE this capability, right now, so we know it's possible.
