You completely ignored teh point. In a war where one side is 'rebel scum' and the other side is some big, resource-rich entity, the rebels are scavengers. I'm quite sure that by the time clanners have access to the same ofab weapons omni does, the same battlestations, the same ai armor, etc.., we've scavenged well enough to be on pretty equal footing. And I'm sure that if we can be quite that good at scavenging, we've likely found some of these sleeves, or gunships, and converted it for the good of the clans.
And no, I wasn't saying FC should ignore rp, I was saying I was ignoring useless rp drivel. ;D
