Revision as of 03:48, 10 May 2012
The Nellis array is a location in the Mojave Wasteland. Nellis array is just east of Nellis Hangars at Nellis Airforce Base
Layout
Exterior
Outside on the top of the Nellis Array are several broken solar panels. You will need a repair skill of 65 or higher (55 or 45 with the Fixin' Things skill magazine and Comprehension perk, respectively.), or scavenged parts from HELIOS One which require 20 repair skill to scavenge, in order to repair these solar panels. No reputation with the Boomers is gained directly for fixing the solar panels; however, completing the quest Sunshine Boogie will earn you reputation with that faction.
There is a computer terminal by the gate. Until the generators are powered back on, it displays the error message "ERROR #P38C4K" "Generator power source unavailable" It checks array efficiency when the array is operational again (120% at best.)
Interior
The inside of the facility is quite simple. Inside the main entrance is a small room with a doorway straight ahead and another door to the left. The forward door leads to an enclosed gangway that goes overtop the main generator room below. To the left is another room that has a door to the right. This door leads to an exposed gangway with stairs that lead down to the lower level. Below the building is sectioned into two areas. From the stairs you are in the smaller of the two sections with electric transformers and generators. The larger room contains more electrical equipment, an exit, shelving with ammunition containers, artillery shells, and your run of the mill ant garbage. The exit leads to another exit to the outside by way of a tunnel.
Generators
There are several generators in the lower level of the Array building. These generators are off by default. They are used in the quest Ant Misbehavin'.
Notable loot
- 2 mini nukes located on and around shelves on the north end of the room near the door to the tunnel.
- At the bottom floor between two broken generators in the south eastern corner is a skeleton with Thump-Thump, a unique grenade rifle, along with ammunition.
Notes
- The real-life Nellis Air Force Base does have a solar power plant, constructed in 2007.
- It is interesting to note that the parts to repair the solar array have been scavenged from solar reflectors, i.e. mirrors, while the Nellis array consists of solar panels, i.e. photovoltaic cells. The two use an entirely different technology to harvest solar energy. It is possible that Helios One is a Photovoltaic Thermal Hybrid Solar Collector, which uses both types of technology simultaneously for greater efficiency. This would allow the parts to be compatible with both arrays.
- It seems that once the quest Volare! is completed, there is no access to the interior of the array without a key of some sort.
Appearances
Nellis array appears in Fallout: New Vegas.
Behind the scenes
"ERROR #P38C4K" "Generator power source unavailable"is a play on the PEBCAK error code.
Bugs
- Sometimes after entering and exiting the building, the terminal near the gate on the west side will disappear. [verification overdue]
