Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. Don’t insult other community members in posts or comments, and don’t make posts designed to insult other community members or parts of the fandom with different opinions.

  2. Posts must be on-topic.

  3. No real life politics. That means no political advocacy, and no real life political discussions vaguely dressed up as on-topic posts. If you want to discuss real life politics, you are free to start your own community.

  4. Posts must be coherent.

  5. If a post is otherwise allowed but has realistic gore or nudity, please mark it NSFW.

  6. Spoilers about newly released official content must be marked as [SPOILERS] with post images blurred and no spoiler information in the thread title. Comments must adhere if the thread OP specified a non-spoiler thread.

PS: Don't use the fandom! please use fallout.wiki for everything instead.

Yeah, they'd never destroy useful working technology. It's not like they blew up the entire fucking institute or anything.

To be fair, a car they could claim and study with much ease vs the base of a faction that's creating synthetic people en masse to infiltrate all the wasteland groups is quite a different scenario.

Right but they could just kick the raiders out of the corvega factory and start producing these cars if they wanted to. It's 200 year old tech, the brotherhood has seen a car before. The stuff at the institute is unprecedented and new. If nothing else it would have made a damn good base of operations in the Commonwealth.

Guess they're both a little half-baked.
