Airship launched - Character's not aboard

[Big Zorz]

I launched the airship with two characters aboard, the third character was on a ship. I got the prompt to 'pick up party' from the boat character - on pressing this all characters jumped to the ship as normal. However this has left the airship stuck floating in the air and inaccessible to my party! I'm now unable to access the tower.

What do you think should be the proper behavior?

[Big Zorz]

The airship should either;

- return to the ground when there are no characters inside, so characters can re-board it
or
- it should be possible for a character to board when they are in the same hex as the airship


On a side note. I wouldn't have got into this broken state, were it not for the 'pick up party members' option on boats. I've never been too sure about characters 'teleporting' from one location to another. Such as when, all characters enter a cave or picking up party members whilst on a ship. It isn't really a question of realism, more that it might become a mechanism that is abused for fast travel. This potential occured to me almost immediately. However, I also think that it makes the game flow much better. Perhaps characters could enter cave's together (as there is no way to escape once you've entered), but they must board ships manually?

(Many thanks, I love the game, btw)
