I figure they'd haul most of their shipments around by airship. After all, why expose your shipping and supply lines to the enemy when you have the means to avoid doing so?

Assuming that Imperial airships are used for trade, some goods may be too heavy to transport by air so they must use ships.

Then again, they had those little winged chimney things haul Ultima Weapon around so who knows?

Well, a possibility for boat > airship could be that all Airships are Ceruleum powered. Now if you take the entire mass of the Garlean Empire, you can imagine just how much cargo/supplies/etc would need to be shipped around. Considering the world's largest deposit of Ceruleum is in Northern Thanalan (a region the Eorzean Alliance has now taken back control over), unnecessarily wasting limited Ceruleum resources on the transport of goods may not be practical when Ceruleum also powers nearly their entire military might (Magitek).

So weigh the options: faster and safer delivery of goods, or not have enough fuel for your war machines?

Considering Garlemald also has an impressive navy, it makes more sense to send goods by land and sea instead of air, even though that puts their goods at slightly greater risk. Take into account, the Rogue storyline doesn't mention just how many Privateers may fall attempting to knock over an Imperial vessel.

Well related to this but on a tangent, sorry. Does anyone have a translation of rogue speak? I can read it okay but my understanding is not good enough to attempt a rogue rp.

Airships also probably have a much lower carrying capacity over distance traveled even with their Magitek advancements.

I went back and watched the cutscenes that were available to watch and compiled a list of Rogue-isms:

The Code - Take not from your fellow Lominsans.
Bauble - item, trinket, thing of value.
Cloy - take, steal.
Ruffmans - pirates.
Quarron - body, self, ass.
Culls - people, ordinary folk.
Coves - thieves, rogues, people of the Lominsan underbelly.
Stubble it! - shut up.
A rum tale. - a sad, sappy story. play us your tiny violin again.
Wattle - possibly another slang term for ass? Ferne likes his curses...
Bene - good.
Stabbers - knives, daggers.
Yaffle - grab, take, eat.
Cockles - secrets, feelings, also to pucker or wrinkle.

Hope this helps! ^^ I remember there being a lot more "Rogue-isms" in the quest text, but these were the only ones I could go back to in cutscene to look at in context.

My tiny contribution to the big book of pirate gibberish

Whid, whids- word, words, wits
Whiddle- to learn

I think its also slang for eyes. In the first ninja quest, Underfoot says "An' the more my wattles take in, the more these two strike me as benar and benar folks."
