Why they never fixed the Military Outpost exploit?

You are still able to rob them every other day without a morale penalty for the highest grade loot. What gives?

I don't know why they didn't. Personally, I think the "trader closet" thing should never have existed in the game at all - we can't rob Franko, so why should we get that ability with the other traders?

Anyway, I put a lot of work into mitigating this exploit in my mod, "Against All Odds". Might wanna try it!

Would you feel bad about robbing evil war criminals?

It's not even about feeling bad. It's about the fact that this location is the only one present in EVERY classic scenario in the game, and at the same time, it effectively gives you infinite free loot, thus making it pointless to take any risks going to other locations. So, as soon as you reach that closet, the game is pretty much over.

Oh, did they refresh supplies if you didn't kill them? I always just murdered them and took their stuff.

Yes, just with one lockpick you can rob them pretty much every day. You don't even need to stealth while lockpicking

that is really odd, if you rob them without killing them they should either abandon the outpost, increase security or even starve to death. but i doubt they would update this game again after all these years

wow, that sounds. . . broken. like once you discover this, then there's no logical reason not to do it. . except for "roleplay" reasons like you are a goody two shoes, which from what little i allowed myself to learn about this game, war changes people so roleplaying that character might not be a good idea, or if you are doing a "challenge run" to do it without using this, kind of like playing megaman with no sub weapons.

hence, no "logical" reason not to do this. .
