They've survied this long because the show wouldn't exist without them.

And yes, I know what Carolina said about the tech, but after recent events I'm rethinking it. Due to the new tech being everywhere now (especially on a backwater planet on the edge of civilization) it could be possible that there was never any sort of remants from Freelancer after all. Carolina probably intercepted a Fed transmission. Only way I see where that couldn't be the case is if Felix doesn't know what he's talking about and the tech originated from Freelancer to begin with. But, again, what it'd be doing on this far-off planet unless it was commonplace now, I don't have a clue.

Only clues to Church and Carolina's location are:

Carolina: I intercepted a military transmission. It seems some low level thugs have some armor and equipment that's way above their paygrade. Sounds like it might be some of the missing gear from a certain defunct military project we both know.

Felix: Well, here's to hoping more of your old habits kick in when he find us. You know I thought there'd be more people in your group. Weren't you with another freelancer? And an AI?

Washington: They disappeared not long after we crashed.

Felix: Sheesh. Any idea were they went?

Washington: ...No.

Felix: Well, if it makes you feel better I haven't heard anything about them over the radio. So...That's probably good.

Washington: How was he able to cloak himself?

Felix: Huh?

Washington: Locus. He turned invisible. How?

Felix: Federal army's got all sorts of fancy equipment. I got my light shield off a dead soldier. (turns on shield) Shum! (turns off shield) Wah! Pretty cool.

Washington: It's just that I've never seen that kind of equipment  outside of Project Freelancer.

Felix: Welcome to the future, Wash. Technology is incredible and everyone uses it to kill eachother.

So they went off to get tech that may or may not be from Freelancer (though now I doubt it ever was, Carolina made the PF assumption herself even), and the Republic hasn't heard anything of them since then. So they could literally be anywhere on this planet.

If they did return this season, they would've had to of known about this event somehow. In that case, they could've picked up another transmission, I suppose.
