Less Empty Nellis

LESS EMPTY NELLIS

PROLOGUE:

I might be in the minority here but I absolutely loved the Boomer faction on my first playthrough. I loved the classic aviator aesthetic and seeing the majestic B-29 bomb the Legion on my maiden playthrough is one of my gaming life's standout moments.

But playing FNV again I couldn't help but feel underwhelmed with Nellis itself.

It was empty and not in a good way.

Military bases are large and spacious but here it felt a little too sparse. It didn't feel like an airbase or artillery range either. The runways had no lights, markers, PAPIs or NAV systems or equipment installed on-sight. No floodlights, no radar, no fire fighting equipment.

Like a lot of NV, it felt barren and unfinished.

This is a very small mod which tries to add some unique flavor into Nellis and to help realize it's full potential.

FEATURES

MORE UNIQUE ROBOTS

The mod adds several new unique Boomer style robots to Nellis. Vanilla Nellis mostly has 2 generic Mister Gutsies patrolling inside it's fences. I felt that given it's huge space there should have been more.

Eyebots are fairly common in airforce bases in the Fallout Lore along with several other combat bots. The new bots are repurposed combat bots and almost each has been given a unique Boomer inspired design.

As for the pathetic security at the tail end of the base, 2 army sentry bots are now patrolling the rear of the base which was honestly pretty damn unguarded.

LORE FRIENDLY UNIQUE PHOTOS, POSTERS AND SIGNS

The mod adds a new portrait photo of Pearl in her younger years. She was one of the original Boomers and I plan to add some more items to show their history and heritage. Another portrait of a notable Boomer was added.

The Boomer Museum now has a unique sign. The museum will be further expanded in future versions with expanded exhibits and lore.

The mod also tries to add some small QOL improvements by adding signs to the various buildings and barracks. I hated how all the small living quarters didn't have any signs or any way to tell which was which outside of the bio-diesel plant. The only way to tell was either memorizing the layout or hovering the crosshair over the door to see the interior's name. <
