Imagine nomad demands you to drop the cargo or give him credits for the new tentacle to ~warmth~

i for one would vote for nomad capital patrols in the omicrons
see how quickly people bitch about cruisers and gunboats with CDs murdering them in delta as opposed to the rare khara bumbling by

I want this to Omicrons tbh. They're too safe for people there. Nobody feels danger there

The roleplay precedent the Nomad players have set in-game is a flavor of telepathy that usually consists of a handful of words, with occasional brackets and ellipses, as well as sentences describing the target character's state of mind or thoughts.
well we wouldnt do any of the telepathy shit if we weren't required by rules and our ID
also how can nomad players be detrimental if they dont exist
t. nomad player
we're forced into a lot of garbage we dont want to do because of how you guys react to us, not vice versa. we're not allowed to engage you wordlessly, but you whine if we roleplay
we're not allowed to gank (because youll whine), but 4 different factions fighting each other will all stop and turn to kill the khara 9km away from the fight
telepathy for a mega-advanced biological organism is not far fetched, but no amount of arguing will make you change your mind, youll believe what you want to believe
My point is not to help you play Nomads better; my point is to get you to stop playing Nomads altogether, which you would've been able to infer had you actually read my post.

Nomads should be able to attack and kill any human without a line of text, including transports, in the omicrons.
This would benefit people who have trouble with English or don't like to RP, and also the players that want to RP: The players of the first category will be drawn to the omicrons and out of the other systems. People who are not willing to deal with no-rp engagers can just stay out of the omicrons, in the other systems, which now have less pvp-only lovers. The people who like both the excitement of no-text surprise attacks and RP can stay in both.
It's a win-win-win.

yes just delete two official factions and their assets im sure that will go over wel-hahahahaha
if we deleted factions based on the opinions of a couple players we'd have no factions at all

Well, you can already simply /l1 /l2 and shoot. Give the player a couple of seconds before you shoot and then go. I don't really see the need to make an exemption from the server rules for Nomads, considering how easy engaging in PvP already is. My two cents as someone who mostly plays Nomads and Wild.

If you were to eliminate special cases from the rules, letting nomads engage without text in some systems would be far from the most counterproductive and useless (especially since its ID based). Things like SRP lines that let you do stuff that isnt visibly written to your victims in your ID, caps vs transport rules, 2 special cases around zoner whales, and xenos-cant-ask-for-credits-just-because-we-nerf-everything come to mind.
99.9999999999% of nomad RP I ever saw was ***I say these 2 lines to everyone because I have to***. Just drop it already and give people who like pure pvp, who dont speak english well enough to do meaning full RP, or who like to be unpredictable something to do already, without forcing 100% useless things that nobody really cares about on them.
