I didn't think your posts were cringe, so either that makes me more cringe, or your cringe isn't actually all that cringe, and you're being hard on yourself unjustly. Trust me, this is math.
Trust me, I made a New Vegas effort-comment on the millitary structure of the NCR, and how to make it fresh and sensible.
Anyways, welcome back!
I actually want to say, in universe iirc the NCR has at least some heavy industry. They have working vertibirds and stuff (long after the Enclave disbanded) at Hoover Dam, they mint their own currency. While it wouldn't fit with their military ethos, it wouldn't surprise me if they'd come up with replacement parts for power armour too and learned how to pilot it. The biggest issue is clearly that NCR power armour was a pointless nostalgia grab built to sell skins in Fallout 76 :^) good effortpost.
Also math is apex cringe, practitioners of math are ableist reactionaries.
Thanks! I agree that they do have some heavy industry, and it would make sense for them to develop, I just didn't like the mish-mash of traditional millitarism with the expeditionary Rangers, lol
It's a betrayal of the NCR's whole point, in the fiction, kinda. Badthesda.
Badthesda indeed.
