Most likely co-op. The devs of side only zones are probably dead.

Gotta admit, that does seem pretty cool. Very random and completely unexpected, but I think I'm going to like.
I wonder if it's going to be the "Rogue Islands" stand-in in Praetoria.

So it's a small city, composed of ships, floating out in the sea. Wonder if this will lead up to an underwater zone.

So much water and the best we can do is the breast stroke.

61866 - A Series of Unfortunate Kidnappings - More than a coincidence?
2260 - The Burning of Hearts - A green-eyed monster holds the match.
379248 - The Spider Without Fangs - NEW - Some lessons learned (more or less.)

Which means the mission entrance will either be a sewer or cave entrance.

It's way too small to be an entire zone. |

Actually, it's more than likely one of the doors on that new Destroyer they're adding to IP.

Really? I think it'll either be an office building entrance or mushroom portal entrance.

Or the entrance could even be the rift portal - like Vanguard might have found a way to hack it so we can use to to get onboard.

Another alternative is that it's controlled by the Praetorian Resistance and we're being invited on-board to repulse an attack by Cole/Hamidon/Ninja-Pirate-Space-Monkeys.

Or maybe the Floating Fortress is directly above the real zone, Atlantis!

Possible uses for the new Floating Ship City map...
* You go into a ship for a normal mission but when you exit... OMG! We've been ship-napped!
* Super Bases will now be allowed to be ocean-going ships as well as underground fortresses... the map is Fast Eddie's As-Is Ship Emporium and Bait Shop!
* This is the step off point for the new BP Oopsie Task Force...
* Like so many games before it, CoH will now incorporate the time-tested Fishing Mini-Game for finding various loot drops.
* The Floating Ship City will actually be a zone event... when it floats into a zone all heroes need to try to get up onto it... there you will fight Man of Aqua who is ticked at being the most useless super hero of all time and looking for vengeance... Unfortunately for him he realizes too late that being able to summon fish telepathically is pretty useless in a FLOATING swimming pool.
* Ain't no floating city man... this here's Lusca's new pimped out ride!
* Hover vehicle cruises into Atlas Park... centers itself over the Atlas Statue.. robotic arms drop the ships to either side... where Happy Funco employees begin scrubbing and lathering it up... then, to the vast enjoyment of all the heroes below.. the water reserve release rinse cycle (patent pending) washes them all away to the sewers entrance.
* Coming this Spring... the Paragon Floating Aquarium! Starring Sham-Pu!
My mind wanders so often you've probably seen its picture on milk cartons. - Me... the first person version of the third person Steelclaw

This is what I popped in to mention. It could possibly be an instance or a small zone, but I don't think it was stated. Just don't get excited about a new zone to find it's part of a new task force or something.|

Looks neat, though.

Swimming's good for you - it helps keep you healthy.
As for the floating Fortress, I think the key things so far for guessing about what it is and who runs it is that it has an aircraft carrier area, several factories, a rift portal, and that they mention the "heroic arrival" of the players to the place.

Maybe that's the underwater moon base where we defeat NPC-combat Shield Defense-wielding Blue Steel to unlock the City Vault?

It'll be a waypoint pointing to under the road which you can't get to.

It needs a seafood place, though. My villain wants to stop off for some fried calamari.
Okay, that looks freaking awesome! I am looking more and more forward to I20 with every little preview like this.
Now I just wonder if this zone will be hero, villain or co-op. I hope for the latter.
