Behind the scenes

A deployable ballast is a reusable recovery system, attached to rockets or other small airborne instruments. The ballast is jettisoned after landing in water, allowing the item to become buoyant and to be recovered by a surface vessel.[1]

Bugs

PCPC If the player attaches the ballasts on the plane and then goes back to Loyal and talks about the plane, Loyal will give the player two additional ballasts, which can't be removed from one's inventory even after the quest (because they'll still be marked as quest items). This can only be fixed with console commands. [verified]
