Quote: No Cray the left AT THE BEGIN of the culture that Nicky was setting up.
Cool, we're on the same page. I said the same thing:
"Clan Wolverine broke away from the Clans before the Clan culture...was well-developed."
In other words, at the beginning of the new Clan culture.
Quote: SO they would have some of things that the Clans would use, aka the iron wombs etc...
Most of the breakthrough Clan technology was developed in the later 29th Century, not in the 2820s when the Wolverines fled. I'd recommend reading "Mechwarrior's Guide to the Clans" or "Warrior's of Kerensky" and focus on "The Golden Century."
Though Iron Wombs...searching...yes, Iron Wombs were available when the Wolverines fled. The first Clan kids from Iron Wombs were born in 2816, though the kids weren't mature when the Wolverines left Clan space (2823). The Wolverines could have iron wombs.
Quote: Who is to say they didn't have some scientist that could push their weapons tech and other engieenering and consturstion tech forward...
They could have plenty of scientists. I'd be surprised if the Wolverines did not focus on evacuating key personnel like scientists.
But scientists have trouble introducing wundertech when they're too busy farming and building homes for a living on some isolated planet because most Wolverine civilians are stuck on the Clan homeworlds, being sterilized by the victors of the Trial of Annihilation. The few thousand people liberated from the Draconis Combine won't fix that labor deficit.
Quote: It's nice to see you once more shooting down this topic.
It's interesting to see that you endorse the Wolverines' ability to reach some level of military power and technology, but that the "small" Word of Blake (which has a much larger population than all the Clan homeworlds put together) cannot achieve the same. Isn't that hypocrisy?
Quote: Wow...at least you didn't bring up their fighting off the alien hoards etc...
That's reserved for players who have been over this topic before, and can take a joke.
