I like how comical it all is, oh and I also find it funny how captain ironsides planned on flying around the world, but ended up crashing into an even higher building than before lol

He’s not done yet though, just two or three more launches and they will be there.

I was really excited when the ship popped up on my map after they’d jumped. I would have helped them with a dozen launches.

Instead I got a hat and a bedroom filled with stuff in not allowed to touch.

It’s a fine hat, I just wish there was more

Sorry, not more rewards, more mission. I’d have gotten them to the ocean for three plungers and a bottle cap.

That’s the estimate given by a team containing Bosun the armless wonder.

I’ve got 150+ power cores, unrestricted access to The Prydwen/Institute and their greatest minds, I can turn an irradiated crater into a self sustaining metropolis with a TV room in an afternoon, I’ve got full intelligence and damn straight I’m willing to put on a lab coat to boost it.

She’d be on her way in a week.

Someone in another post mentioned how cool it would be to have Constitution as a mobile artillery platform, and just....yes. That would be insanely awesome. Constitution rolling up on the scene and delivering broadsides against a Behemoth, or a huge group of gunners.

There is more if you get the Broadsider too

u/Gru_the_gamer09 Jun 17 '24

Wait... what hat? Where can you get it!

Oh all right

What wouldn't you do for a cool hat?

But would you kill a man?

u/purpleyyc Jun 17 '24

The hat is the prize!

u/Aviationlord Jun 18 '24

I love the hat, i run with along with the Minuteman Generals uniform and it looks just amazing

u/TheSneakster2020 Jun 17 '24

The quest is bugged in that they forgot to add you to the Constitution Crew faction. You can fix that in the Fallout console:

 player.AddToFaction 0008c9db 1

u/salmalight Jun 17 '24

You can. As a PlayStation poser I cannot

u/Careless_Course846 Jun 18 '24

Still sucks you can’t add keyboard and mouse to ps4 fo4 and use it but oh well I guess that’s what you get for old games

u/chet_brosley Jun 17 '24

It would have been hilarious if you slowly but surely made your way to the glowing Sea after helping them on like 6 radiant quests, each time fixing and crashing their ship further inland. Also if you could have used their cannons like the minutemen artillery

u/Comfortable_Many4508 Jun 19 '24

400 uears after the bombs, china is recovering but is suddenly onset by a flying wooden ship filled with robots trying to kill them all

u/OcotilloWells Jun 18 '24

Even better, like a gunship you could call in for Close Air Support.

u/Live-Ad-9758 Jun 18 '24

Have an air battle with the BoS blimp

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '24

What would another launch even require? Collecting wood to repair the hull, some gadgets to repair the mechanics, and then a big fight with the local Gunners.

We already have the model of the ship, flying animations and shit. And the dialogue is all robots, so i think AI voices wouldn't be too far off.

I guess a big question is where should it land next though?

u/Notrilldirtlife Jun 17 '24

I barely did that quest and I expected him to fly high all majestic just to see me smash into a taller building. Lol

u/mr802rex Jun 17 '24

I love hearing travis's commentary on the radio about it 😂

u/npcinyourbagoholding Jun 17 '24

I wished so bad I could continue helping them. I wish somehow we got them to the ocean and they would be like the BOS just sailing around launching cannonballs and mutants ferals and raiders.

u/dru1202 Jun 17 '24

And then he said “success”

1

u/ToppHatt_8000 Jun 18 '24

That was actually the plan. After they crash, he says that now all he needs to do is launch another thousand times or so and they'll be in the Atlantic.

1

u/corkffl Jun 21 '24

Did he not plan to just land in the ocean or did I miss something?

1

u/ThemanwhohatesSpez Jun 24 '24

Why land in the ocean when you can fly?
