Yes they do.They wouldn't rent power armors to get something they want.If they want something from outsiders they will trade their high tech weapons for the thing they want.Also I didn't mean crafting from scratch,no one can according to canon not even the BoS they can only reuse old ones that is why i added power armor parts to the crafting list .
This is so wrong, BoS hoard tech they'd never trade it. They kill people and take what they want using their high tech weapons, all their power comes from a technological edge they have over the others. Just look at any BoS mission/plotline in any of the games.
Arguments against for small amounts of PA's distributed , concerning how armors currently break down , how well it actually protects are obsolete. Even in fallout lore at some point power armor became basic equipment for certain american soldier squads. Fallout game without the ability to obtain a power armor , say what you want that just doesn't make sense and by the way were all heroes in fonline , maybe not chosen one's but were certainly not playing as normal inhabitants of wasteland.I don't actually care if you think seeing a PA is not entertaining , tons of people think otherwise.
