Maybe the very same radiation that preserves the Ghouls also preserves thier ship.
*Somewhere a kitten is defibrilated*

I hope Constitution won't fire cannon shells at you when you approach it, given that you are able to put defensive mortars in your settlement...

It will be like the Boomers part 2. (It's lucky that their bombardment could be avoided through a way...)

No. This are ghoul redcoats. Way cooler!

"Tally ho! Push these bloody smoothskins to hell!"

"Britannia rules the waves!"

It's a replica?

Hmm... maybe a stretch, but I'd like to hijack the Constitution, roll up to the Prydwen, all "sup [censored]es?", blow apart her hull, ram the Constitution through, board her like a jet-age Horatio Nelson, assassinate Sarah Lyons, suit up in her power armor, emerge from the hulking inferno inside the Institute, lasers blazing and super sledge waving, breach the gates, and watch the Minutemen mop up.

But yeah, the thrust required to get that wooden hulk off the ground would rip it apart.

If anything, it's probably either going to be a pirate base, or a Commonwealth Minutemen base. I'm just interested in how or if that thing is going to fly.

Yeah, as a lover of old sailing ships (I mean I had that thing planned to be built in Minecraft alongside my full scale model of HMS Victory) this is essentially the greatest crime to have been committed since Three Dog was first given a microphone.

My wild guess it's going to be used for some crazy reason by synths or ghouls pretending to be redcoats when going by one of the FO4 concept art of a radiated looking person dressed as a redcoat ( Can't seem to find the pic atm, if somebody can post it then I would appreciate it ). It's ironic giving it's history in the war of 1812 and not out realm of crazy possibility with Bethesda's Declaration of Independence quest in 3.

I want ghoul Hessian grenadiers.

Found the picture in question ( One in the middle ): http://i0.wp.com/www.onlysp.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Fallout-4-Concept-Art-04.jpg

That would be, flying nuclear frigate.

Why should there be a pirate base...? Why did people still think about pirates?

Why is everyone assuming it flies? It doesn't look all that air worthy to me. Especially if its the original wooden construction, that would just be shred by a strafing run from a vertibird. Now, if that was blasting across the sea to fight off those ghoul redcoats, that would seem to be a better use of it. It looks much more suited to be a crazy atompunk sea ship and than a air ship.

I don't know.

I do suspect that, alternate history or not, that by the time the bomb fell on October 23, 2077 we will find:

1. Any and all pirates are using powered boats and automatic weapons.

2. Any and all pirates are probably dressed in deck shoes, blue jeans and cotton shirts.

3. General George Cornwallis, 1st Marquess Cornwallis, has surrendered to American and French forces and that he, the armies of Britain and their allies have withdrawn from the colonies.

So the only people that would have been dressed the way the ghoul is at the time of the Great War would be reenactors.

The ghoul in question probably is either be a reenactor from the time of the war, OR found the outfit in some costume shop and thought it looked kewl.

I am guessing it doesn't fly but is in the process of being converted to something that can fly.

Yeah maybe thats it. Could be part of a quest. The engine seems to handle flying around on that vertibird just fine now, I could see airships not being that hard.

In the state its in in the trailer there's just no way its airworthy, also I hope the wooden construction gets transformed into something else. I'm sure you could sci fi a material that would do it, especially with Fallout's setting being nowhere near hard sci fi. That shot of the burning airship in the E3 stuff makes me think there's going to be a big set piece battle between airships, and that'd be pretty damn cool.

I agree. Whoever thought that was a good idea deserves a mighty smack across the face courtesy Sole Survivor.

Also, are you able to share pictures of your Minecraft ships? I'd love to see them.

Kind of tempted to fit it with those bloody warp engines now, just to make people cringe.

But that was what I saw most clearly in the fallout trailer. ruins, ruins, bombs, dog, ruins, CONSTITUTION!

Poor wooden vessels. technology is an abomination on them

im not really sure why the redcoats would want the USS Constitution, it was launched in 1797 to fight the Barbary Pirates off of the North African coast

It also fought the British during the War of 1812 IIRC.

As for why the Redcoats would want the USS Constitution? Why would anyone want the prized possession of their opponents?

It is like how in ancient battles, losing your battle standard to your enemies is a great humilitation (and a glorious achievement to those who managed to... "acquire it" hehe)

Maybe they wanted revenge to America after all? XD

Ultra-nationalistic British redcoat ghouls with laser muskets and desire to return the 13 colonies back to the glorious Empire...

Considering how many of the other original frigates we captured, no doubt they'd want the last one.
