If youre group is supposably "good rp" then how do they obtain food and water?
As for the OTA getting a PK if you salvage stuff from them, I say seriously? If you're doing that then you better make obtaining an OTA unit OOCly easy cause there are thousands upon thousands of overwatch units available to deploy when needed. They're not rare you know so whats the point of PKing one if they die? The union will just send 10 more.
I'll start saying "It's armor of the profligates, if you're wearing it, you're wearing their flag. We will crucify you for possessing this armor.". I can't directly control what my people do, as they are different people; and I am not of a position of power within the community. However I'll do my best.
Also, I believe OTA armor would in most cases tend to give out a biosignal, which would give away your location to the combine.
As for the food & water, we obtain it like any other refugees, as we're a playerbased group.
Personally, I obtain my food from creatures, or my men. I obtain my water by tapping into city water pipes & boiling the water to cook the chemicals out, and to kill the bacteria.
