Dockable gas giants?

[Unseelie]

But there is another set of issues with colonising a Gas Giant. Gravity (although if given a low enough density and artificial gravity into account, it wouldn't be a problem), Inclement weatherghtning, how to keep a large platform floating constantly, volitile gasses, etc.

Again, using Jupiter as a comparison, when Jupiter seems to be on the high side of gas giants..Gravity is larger, yes. But for the mass (and gravity) of 95 earths (Saturn) you've a volume of 763.59 earths....And Uranus? Gravity of 14 earths, with a Volume of 63. I'm not sure how exactly the math works, but I do know that the farther you get from the core, the less gravity there is. I also know that the bigger the planet, the denser the whole thing is, because gravity pulls it together to maintain cohesion. Lighter/smaller the Gas Giant the easier it would to be to build a structure....Which you would to by:

first, Zepplins. Overcome the Pressure, you overcome Gravity(because pressure is caused by gravity). So you build a hard shelled cage, and string up an impermeable plastic or some such over it (on the outside). Fill it, in space, with air. To, say, an atmosphere of pressure. Fill another, Fill another. Get enough, and you attach them to your station, which is set up to withstand, from the outside, you guessed, one atmosphere of pressure (or, just about. It'll be the average of the zeppelins and the station.) Then you drop them into the gravity well.
