So what is the reason for not including some of the original weapons and power armor and the like?
Because they are unique and sparse technologies not every Average Joe should get his hands on.
In that case it would be cool if there were only a set amount of certain items; say, 10 power armors in the game, and the only way to get one would be to pk another player, or something like that.
Power Armor's and Gauss Rifle's are Special Items, they became a reward for Winning in an Event (Depends on the Event).It became harder to get a Power Armor, and i guess it will become more harder than it already is. Just keep try to get the Brotherhood Armor, That should be fine enough.
Meh, I mean, fine enough for who? It's just kinda crazy to me to take the most badass equipment completely out of the game, you know? I agree that I don't want to see everyone running around in power armor, but I'd rather have that than the way it is now, which is basically non-existent.
You still can Get one with PK'ing or Buy one from other players.
oh, cool then edit: I've just never seen one.
