How Did BOS Power Air Blimp And Prime?

[pjedilord]

How did the BOS get the power for there air blimp and Vert ships?
Fairly vast inside the blimp, would of taken a while to build considing whats inside.
What weapons does the blimp have?
What do they use to fly, fuel?
Do they still produce vert ships?
Can the blimp crash at some point? they will have to park the air ship to maintain?
How did they built prime robot so fast? How is the robot powered?
Is prime AL?
What did BOS have in other fallout games?
So in real life could a company could produce Blimp like BOS?

The Brotherhood only takes what they can't control. And Rivet City was working with the Brotherhood last we saw (distributing the water, and as a source of new recruits). From the wiki:

As of 2287, it is clear that the Brotherhood is an unrivaled power in the region, and draws most of its new recruits from the area. What started with the East Coast Brotherhood protecting people from super mutants and raiders led to defeating the Enclave and distributing free clean water to the people, turning them into the governing power in the Capital Wasteland. Based on information from dialogue, terminals, and holotapes the Brotherhood appears to have evolved politically and governs the Capital Wasteland directly as its own "country." Additionally, the Brotherhood now attempts to build, innovate, and improve technology, unlike their West Coast counterpart.

Rivet City is Brotherhood territory. They would still be in control of a reactor they gave them. Besides, forcing the largest settlement in the area to hand over their reactor isn't a good way to keep getting recruits.

Also, it seems the Prydwen began construction under Elder Lyons, and he was more lax with technology and helping others. Certainly possible he could of gave them an old reactor in exchange.

Definitely, danse was recruited from rivet city
SPOILER!!!!!! Don't look below

[They could be fake memories because he's a synth]


End of spoiler, I doubt the brotherhood would get rid of a source for recruits. Or a source of assistance for water.

How did they built prime robot so fast? How is the robot powered?

Interesting thanks, what about Prime?

Liberty Prime is an old pre-war robot. They didn't build it, just fixed it. And even that took them 20 years. But they learned how to do it, so when it got destroyed again it was quicker to repair the next time. And at least some work on it was a;ready being done in the 10 years since its destruction.

An entirely unsourced section which amounts to an opinion piece with no backing. Where as the section

Maxson's position solidified in 2283, when he negotiated a treaty with the Brotherhood Outcasts, bringing them back into the fold and reforming the entire organization, abandoning Lyons' Doctrine. Lyons' Brotherhood became a distant memory as Maxson restored the original mission of the Brotherhood of Steel.[3] While some members found this distasteful and left,[65] the overwhelming majority remained, proud to serve a refocused Brotherhood. Maxson became leader of the Brotherhood's Eastern branch, effectively leading to its rebirth.[66]

is entirely supported and cited from ingame sources

Add to that the page you are citing isn't even in the main wiki, its in the cleanup pages, most likely because of how poorly written it is.

Thanks, So Prime AL?

[fluxtorrent]

Pretty much as unwept said. It's got a rather janky internal core.

the airship is powered with the reactor the bos took from a destroyed aircraft carrier. probably rivit city seeing as danse mentions it used to exist implying it was destroyed. but the bos fanboys get mad when i point out their technocult based on the main villians of wastland aren't good guys.

as for vertabirds fallout 2 established they ran off fossil fuels and the enclaves airfleet was only possible due to the enclave rig sitting on the last oil reserve which blew up at the end of 2. the shi also make mention of using there biodesile to power them after you hand off the plans.

seeing as the its clear the vertabird runs off normal fuel not fusion power. the only explanation for why the BOS, NCR and post oilrig enclave who have no fossil fuels are able tor run them is that they converted them over to contriviam and harnessed the power of massive plot holes to replace the normal fuel needs

prime is ran off a special fusion power cell made by doctor madision li because the prewar power cell was enough and the BOS being idiots cant make a working one themselves. for those who question my calling the bos idiots please refer to that ttime there misuse and lack of safegaurds on dangerous tech caused the master and enclave bioweapon)

Thanks,Is Prime Control by who or AL?

What is AL? Do you mean AI (Artificial Intelligence)? Prime, like the other robots in the game, controls himself (or controls himself as much as his programming allows). He isn't a drone being controlled by someone else.

the airship they could've converted it to fusion power. I mean they did have power armors and know how to use them repair them and hell even make some of the parts. You can even build reactors that have like 500 units of power per second pumping out.

But yeah BoS are pretty much the bad guys. That doesn't mean much sadly in the post apocalyptic irridiated USA. If you kill someone for whatever you need you're evil and if you don't you're a moron and die or end up like those skeletons on the toilets / beds or the fresh corpses on the side of the road.

By airship i assume you mean the vertabirds and not the prydwn right?

both

plus in terms of ♥♥♥♥ airships don't need much power just highly pressurized air. If that goes away they decend no matter how much power you have.

the prdwyn is confirmed in game to have the fusion reactor from a derilict aircraft carrier as the power source so they wouldnt need to retrofit it over.

[darinbob]

The airship is a lore carryover from Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel game, where the brotherhood made it to the midwest in an airship before it crashed. Bethesda calls this game non-canon except for some key events. Apparently multiple airships, and these were from the Brotherhood factions that did want to include outsiders in their ranks. And in that game you can include some ghouls in your squad.

Which is interesting compared to Bethesda world where they turned BoS into the bad guys and also ghoul haters; are they from the same groups that left California in the airships, or completely different in origin?

[Sabaithal]

So am I going to have to be the one to point out that the prydwen is NOT a blimp, its a zeppelin. Might change the physics somewhat, I don't know.
