Exactly how much help did the FWL need to build their fleet?

[Korzon77]

Okay, pre-WOB blow up, the FWL fleet was the closest in the Inner Sphere to an actual, balanced warfleet.  So the question I have, how much direct aid did the WOB give them, in terms of productoin from terran factories heading to the FWL?  Was it more in the way of knowledge, or direct material assistance as in "please don't peak into the boxes labeled "Agricultural equipment." even though they look a lot like completed Transit drives."

Well, we know they stripped the wreckage of a ~dozen warships for parts to build their ships.

stripped the wreckage = take all the expired EEBD's, empty CO2 & PKP bottles (oh... and those bottles need hydrostatic testing done, too. Make sure your using the most updated MRC's and MIP's [and the Forced Revision date]) and berthing beddings with all the usual stains one gets from a couple deployments?  :))

It was mostly pointing out derelicts they could grab and helping with that. Plus more importantly, lending aid to the development of these rediscovered technologies, like the big warship drives and probably some communications tech.

I haven't seen any evidence to suggest the FWL "imported" anything from Terra and the WoB in that era.

The WoB in turn ended up using a lot of FWL stuff. Suggesting they imported a lot of stuff from the FWL and we know they were skimming coffers from the FWL. That got revealed in at least one novel.

LOL - tip of the hat from a retired DCC.  Philly mothball fleet FTW!   ;D

I thought that was Dawn of the Jihad, page 7.
