Mod Idea: Commonwealth Air Taxi Service

Recommended Posts

Buy the smoke grenades at general vendors. Works just like BOS but available to anyone. Retexture special vertibird to a yellow and black scheme. Obviously will require the CK. Just throwing this idea out (although it's probably been mentioned before and it's practically a given that it will be made at some point with or without this post).

 

Also, I can foresee a flyable vertibird mod. Heck, we got that in New Vegas and half teh mechanics are already in place in FO4.

Would work better if you could loot vertibirds for parts and build your own at a settlement, which can be asked to pick you up, over radio.

 

this would obviously be pretty redundant when you're with the BOS.

I like both ideas MrHazardous. But if I can build my own I want to be able to fly it myself (which would of course require much more complex scripting). This way all bases are covered for those of us who want more immersive fast travelling:

 

-Vanilla method for BOS

-Taxi method for non-BOS (or BOS as well)

-Build your own for tinkerers who also want to fly

Hmm... it would be far easier to just change where the character mounts the vertiberd and allow the original script to take you to the destination you chose on the map. You can then land at any time like default.

Since the there already exists an animatioin in the game of climbing into the cockpit (Tinker Tom). You would just need to use that animation and then use the pipboy to choose your destination via the map like you normally would.

 

As for building your own virtibird, perhaps getting the Atom-Cats involved would be an ideal "in universe" way to have both a hub for your vertibird taxi hub and a realistic means of being able to rebuild and work on a complex piece of technology. Since the Atom-Cats are basically Gear-Heads, they would jump at the oportunity to build a virtibird. And then paint flames on it. Not only that, but you could even expand on the Atom-Cats with a few quests to collect parts from all the crashed virtibirds that just-so-happen to be laying all over Boston. (there are tons of them)

 

And since there are soo many dead virtibirds laying around, you wouldn't need to wait for the BoS to show up (and have them crash) to collect parts. So you could start on your own virtibird as soon as you wanted without having to be tied to the BoS or waiting for their birds to fall out of the sky.
