Forum:So dumb...

Does anyone else think blowing up the MBC by the PC/BOS was a stupid move? Why wouldn't they want to save such a powerful piece of equipment? Seems to me like it would have been better to change its orbital path so flies over vault 87 and then then blow that hellhole to smithereens. Mutie problem solved.

Mutie problem only solved in DC, many more Muties in areas across the wastes of America. But I totally agree with your statement. But the Vault is deep underground, who knows if the orbital blast would even reach? Plus, It might blow up Little Lamplight as well :l Good fight Mayor MacCready.

First, screw Little Lamplight. Second, with that many big ass missiles, I think that it would be able to penetrate the rock. Raymorn 23:54, February 21, 2010 (UTC)

The BoS would have been able to use the Crawler as proof to the Western BoS that they have done good work, and screw the kids, they are assholes.

All they'd have to do is evacuate the kids from LL. They'd probably be a little pissed about having to give up their child utopia but a think its a small thing to ask to help get rid of the Super Mutants. Raymorn 00:01, February 22, 2010 (UTC)

Whats so anticanon about a cave full of children? Makes more sense than the aliens. The story is pretty well explained, I thought. Raymorn 00:08, February 22, 2010 (UTC)

I never said I didn't want LL to get hit, I was just pointing it out. Fallout3Maniac 03:47, February 22, 2010 (UTC)

Umm.. the vaults were built specifically to withstand direct hits from thermonuclear missiles. I really think a pissy little orbital strike would barely dent the walls. Sheepbiter 12:17, February 22, 2010 (UTC)

On little lamplight.,... If they kick evryone out when they turn 18 how the hell do they sustain a constant population. Sheepbiter 12:19, February 22, 2010 (UTC)

True, they couldnt blow up the vault but there still are so many wasted opportunities with blowing up the crawler. Even if they never fired the thing, just the sheer amount of tech they'd get their hands on alone should be reason enough not to blow the thing up. Granted, they still get a lot of tech from the wreckage but I would think a nonblown to hell piece of tech is definitely better than one that had been on the receiving end of an orbital strike. With LL, they take in all the orphans of the wasteland. In a real wasteland, I'm sure there would be many stories along the lines of Bryan Wilkes. Just substitute in Raiders, Deathclaws, Radscorpions, or any other big deadly critter of the wastes for ants. Like Maggie in Megaton. Her family was wiped out by Raiders. Happens all the time in the wasteland. Raymorn 22:35, February 22, 2010 (UTC)
