Yeah, I was thinking of adding an upgrade that enabled airships to carry a number of smaller aircraft.

Split the Airship unit into Combat and Carrier versions, finally. I'm thinking of adding at least one more class of airship, perhaps a smaller, faster version that represents one of the proposed designs I've seen for airships that combine features from heavier-than-air craft.
