Hmm, dragons > dragonriders of Pern (books by anne McCaffrey) > fire breathing teleporting creatures with a pilot > could be the description of an oolite ship.
Been a long time since i read them, can't remember what names mrs McCaffrey used for the dragons.

Another suggestion : Dragonship with plasma turret = Dragon +ball of plasma = Dragon Ball (manga)
OS : Arch Linux 64-bit - rolling release

The Coyote: mean, unreliable, prone to explosive behaviours. Approach one at your own risk. No insurance company in the 8 galaxies insure them, only the shipyard company if you personally come back to retrieve the reimbursement.

The Roadrunner: Effectively without armarment and quite fragile, but can outrun even missiles and turn on the spot in full speed. Needs an ungodly amount of fuel, though. :D

On other news: I changed the role weights and a little part of the world script regarding the placement of certain pirate activities... :twisted:

Second;
Why there are no flying lizards in Scotland. They were too damn tasty.

Third; and last
How to cook your lizard.
Net it, close up it's snout and make it so angry it tries to cook you. It's own blow back does the job perfect from the inside and softens the scales enough to get them off.
MMMMM :D
LOOK OUT!!!
OOPS..
