Boston Airport

Boston Airport is a location in the Commonwealth which is in control by the Brotherhood of Steel in 2287.

Layout
The airport is comprised of a central terminal building, which is mostly destroyed, a parking garage, and a small garage. There is also a tarmac which has the remains of several Horizon Airlines jet airliners. The airliners are completely destroyed. The wings having separated and the fuselages being torn into three parts. The aircraft interiors have been completely stripped out by scavengers. The tarmac is also littered with lots of other scrap junk, most of which can be converted into various items.

Sadly, it lacks the places to grow crops on. The entire site is inhabited by feral ghouls. There is a legendary glowing one on the top floor of the terminal. The tarmac is sunken into the bay, and mirelurk inhabit the shore. In the lowest floor of the parking garage, there are two police protectron stationed in chambers. Once activated by the novice terminal, the protectron can provide fire support against ghouls.

There is an area at the end of the terminal which has a workshop in the waiting area which has no roof. It can be used as a settlement but there are severe limitations. Crops cannot be planted at all, so food has to be supplied from other settlements via supply lines. No Settlement Recruitment Beacon can be built, so no settlers will join. No Guard Posts can be built, so the only method of defense is building turrets. Also cannot build any stores, salvage stations or artillery pieces.

This settlement is of very limited use as of release, only viable as a possible crafting area or storage.

The settlement is however used as part of several story line quests for the Brotherhood of Steel. Firstly as a build area to construct parts for the quest Liberty Reprimed and also as a build area to construct the Teleporter if siding with the Brotherhood of Steel in the quest The Molecular Level.

Console Workarounds
The PC console can be used to work around some of the restrictions on the settlement site. Build a water pump, open the console, select the pump and enter

This will add a food production value to the pump. It will not require a settler to be assigned to it. Set it to a value which is high enough to feed your settlers, but not so high it attracts raiders. A defence rating equal to or greater than the total of food and water production is recommended.

To add settlers, first spawn a settler in the settlement using

Then open the workshop menu, select the settler and tell them to move to Boston Airport. Repeat as necessary to populate the settlement.
