Sounds like fun, years ago I use to play Warbirds and Dawn of Aces (same company). Dawn of Aces was WW1 simulator and use to able to fly Zeppelins over the map and using co-ord inputs reign artillery fire in closing the airfield before capture. The Zepplin also had its own bombs and guns emplacements too. Was alot of fun flying it but required alot of patient as it was a simulation and not an arcade.
These models going back over 10 years.

The first thing that came to my mind reading this were the slightly retro-futuristic airships from Crimson Skies, but I would lean more towards these http://wrathofzombie.files.wordpress.com/2010/03/airship.jpg as well.

I rented a (fantasy) movie once (3-4 years ago) which was mostly about airships. AND I CAN'T FIND THE TITLE NAME!!! >:(
(They had various airships:
A big wooden blimp-looking ship, however it was not related to a blimp in that the interior of the "balloon" was the inside of the ship. The wooden panels that formed the side of the "balloon" would erect and spin to reveal guns and increase the ships movement speed in battle.
WWI esque fighters.
Balloon-Lifted wooden ships, think a galleon with a balloon instead of sails
A HUGE SENTIENT MACHINE WHALE THAT EATS THE ISLANDS (with their core trees in the center of said island) AND OTHER SHIPS (which are mostly wooden) TO FUEL ITS ENGINES!! 
A hybrid wood-steel pirate ship, had gun turrets.)
Well enough of me remembering odd movies.
We mostly agree on blimps/zepplins that are more modern, or huge flying ships that mimic WW2 esque ships (carriers and battleships).
EDIT: The medusa game engine would proly allow for many themes with gameplay similar to darkspace. This is a nice thought.

Okay.
On revision, it looks like an industrial steam/cyberpunk style airship design will be more in demand.
Instead of islands we could probably do very smog/cloud layered ground with the tops of high rise buildings being the control points. Maybe with the occasional land feature peaking out of the toxic clouds.

I hope you don't kill Darkspace in the process. We don't really have enough people to split between games...

He's not. It's just a personal project he would like to try out. I'd love to help in anyway possible! Even If I don't know anything about programmation or design.. Could do some voice acting? Yeah for some french or english with some accent! ahahah.
Would it be some kind of wars between countries? Like some remake of WW2? Or just some races/clans etc fighting each other?
The toxic cloud with some buildings top's passing into it seems interesting a lot. Looks like a great idea but we should find some kind of story for the game.. Can't make a game without a story?
They used a new toxic weapon but it was too massive and the gas spread over the Earth and the only ones who survived were the ones in their airship, now trying to take back the control of Earth, or what is left, for their lost country or just for pure domination!
Well we'll see how it goes

Looks like someone stuck a model ww2 Graf Zeppelin carrier on top of a WW1 Zeppelin and modified it.

It could go the other way too. It could bring in players who wouldn't have descovered DarkSpace in the first place.
I like the whole idea of this. Sounds like it could be pretty cool.

I could probably conceptualize some Final Fantasy styled airships if the style fits the game/genre.....
Something like the Palamecia from FF XIII
The Lindblum, also from FF XIII
Farenheit from FF X
