I can see it now. A place for all your companions to hang out and enjoy the view, it reminds me of the Avengers. Our very own helicarrier (don't ask me how everyone gets up there, just roll with it). Or perhaps its just you, and your verti-bird is how you get to your base?

Or perhaps its actually the base of the Brotherhood of Steel, which would explain how you even got a verti-bird in the first place and why they are dropping down in a factory to help you fight some raiders (in the Gamescom video).

I would really dig this, for certain characters. I would love for you to be able to tell it where to go and hover over locations.

How about the USS_Constitution as a home base - fire up those big boy engines and welcome aboard

i have a feeling the airship is brotherhood only and since we can bring it down or maybe it go down as part of a quest i dont think we can make it our base.

Would be handy if you could parachute back to terra firma.

Jetpack.

JETPACK!

JETPACK!

JETPACK!

Man that would be a cool mod, to be able to equip all the companions with PA and jetpacks and then call them all in at onec and have your own PA jetpack drop squad. https://youtu.be/yu4uv7i-ae0?t=50s

That would be pretty awesome. Even without it being companions, say if we partner with the brotherhood and you can call in a drop squad to your aid (kinda like the NCR radio)

The constitution does sound really cool. I mean, why would you strap jet son a recently renovated warship.... and NOT do some kind of awesome quest revolving around it? Either that and Beth does the easy way out and makes its somebodies cool hideout/bar/etc. As an added bonus they add a quest like the one in Oblivion where you fell asleep on the Altmers floating inn and brigands take control of it.

this sounds like a different game entirely lol

You mean like The AFS Brisbane mod:

THAT was an awesome ship.

Fallout 4's Hearthfire mod: create your own livable, customized, airship.

Problem with the airship.. is that it's a blimp. Blimps blow up. You'd be up there lounging about, sipping champagne.. and then next thing you know your sitting in a big ball of fire falling to earth. Just like in the beginning of Arcanum.

I've been thinking (hoping) for the same thing. Airships are awesome. Though dangerous, this is too awesome of an idea to let realism get in the way.

Hmm I am not even sure whether it is an enterable location. Entering it would be cool, seeing it travel onboard would be cool. But I do not know, whether the engine can support stuff like this.

Great, now the idea is stuck in my head again. 3D, open world Arcanum remake.

I don't care if it's even a remake.. I would love any new game set in the arcanum universe as long as it still has the same character leveling system. In my opinion, that is one of the best/most fun character systems ever made. Add to that fully customizable character creation and holy crap.

I imaging once we are allied with the BoS (if you want to be allied with them) that certain bonuses come with it. Transportation VIA vertibird, T-51b (and/or potentially unlimited PA use and resources), and a room on their ship.

Possibly even leading the charge after a certain point in the story. Just speculation but it seems to be like something they would do.
