"While it's still a mystery how Moldaver survived for so long its implied that she established shady sands, which briefly served as a technologically advanced safe haven in the wasteland." Way to reveal that you know nothing about the games you cover once again IGN. The history of Shady Sands is well established since fallout 1, and was definitely not established by Moldaver. And if by "briefly served as a technologically advanced safe haven" you mean, 135 years and the birthplace and capital of (until very recently) the largest and most powerful nation in the wasteland with a population of over 700,000 people, then yeah it briefly served as a technologically advanced safe haven.

Wonder if New Vegas is the new Capital of the NCR.

[@drlukas4242]

The end credits showed Vegas in ruins so idk. Also assuming that the NCR ending is canon then Vegas wouldn't be a core territory. They also would have had to pick a capital as soon as Shady Sands fell. And Shady Sands fell before New Vegas (allegedly). Even if Shady Sands was fine during New Vegas. They would have probably picked a territory that they already have a lot of control over. So like Los Angeles, Hub, Maxon etc. They probably would have trouble keeping people at bay. Even before the collapse of the NCR the army was struggling to deal with raiders and with supply. The Mojave would probably be one of the last places they would want to stay at. Only reason to be there is if they really wanted electricity from Hoover dam. But the NCR still had electricity without Hoover Dam anyway so that doesn't mean much.

if Moldaver founded the NCR, does that not basically destroy the entire lore of fallout 1, Aradesh and Tandi are the main driving forces behind the creation of the NCR, and Aradesh is a decendent of a vault dweller from vault 15. who created the foundations of Shady sands with thier GECK, we know vault 15 was not some kind of cryo facility where Moldaver could have stayed for 200 years. it was an overcrowded vault filled with people who had radically different political views. its more likley that Moldaver is leading some kind of NCR remnant in the area. this however does not answer how she survived for 219 years. but there are several in lore ways she might have, cryogenics being the obvious one. a perfected form of mister houses method (biological stasis) could be another.
