Why is Nomad Indie ID not used much?

[Lythrilux]

Nomad ID should definitely get caps. It'd do a huge amount of good for making the ID used more.

But yeah right now Omicron activity is 99% broken down to someone yelling in x faction's e-chat to go raid y's home system. There's no ambient activity. And it's a shame Iridium mining has just been taking so damn long to get implemented, and even beyond the Delta layout change the admins at least had the oppertunity to set it up themselves. Now we'll need to wait for a new layout to bring it back again. IMO deleting the Iridium field in Omicron Delta was the stupidest change in it's current design.

Some more lucrative and interesting trade routes in the Omicrons would be good. However I feel that the recent Rho > Luneburg/Sigma-15 connection creates this big shortcut that just circumvents the Omicrons entirely (i.e lucrative commodites like pscrap are just faster to take around the Omicrons).

GIb Nomad cap access. It would be fine when we only get access to the cruiser that would be amazing, I don't care about the BS, but the cruiser for indie player would be amazing

The cruiser imo isn't really good, though. Compare it to the Rheinland cruiser size-wise, as well as the firing arcs. You will learn to hate it.

They said the same when I bought my Sarissa where it was really crap, no cerb nerf. At least I managed to get not useless with this ship and managed to kill several ships in a 1v1.

Anyway, gib gib gib

Nomad indie ID is fine. The fighters are decent and they shouldn't have caps because there are already too many caps flying around in the omicrons.
I dislike that there's so few places to dock for them which means that you spawn back in iota or some other non visited place whenever you die.

The real problem ist that what the community has defined as proper nomad rp is just incredibly boring and not fun. Silent engaging does not create interesting encounters.
Nonetheless I was able to have fun while flying an indie nomad and it should be possible for other people as well. Maybe it will be better once their enemies stop sitting in their caps and discover the snubs in their shiplines.

The main issue I have with the Nomad ID is that your tractor beam doesn't work. Now that you can't trade bots or bats, instead relying on instakills by you or your buddies to get restocks if you're the target, the Nomad ID is just at a severe disadvantage compared to every other ID in the Omicrons.

Being able to fly indie caps, however, should only be reserved for events like the Newcastle event we had a while back. Most indies will bring caps to events like these, flying bombers isn't fun, and we're left with an NPC shoot fest that also isn't fun.

The Nomad ID is just fine

You should be lucky it was actually added in game, because there used to be only the Nomad trial ID for years. I remember how the community was begging for a nomad id you could use nomad ships you could actually kill other people and especially not only in self defense, you gotten it and it's again not enough.
When you want caps and sirius wide ZoI join the K'hara, but for that you should show some effort.

You're missing the point.

This is one of my points, Tal got it right.

Now, let's see... I'm not talking about the ships, the ships are just fine. I'm not talking pvpwise, I'm talking about the ID. Okay fine, hurrrr durrr purrr nomads are special, hence the indie Id is so restricted and so had been for years, yea, we get it but that excuse has been used so many times already it's gotten old.

Nobody asked for indie nomad caps and siriuswide zoi. Nobody wants that. I'm asking for - Either allow Indies fly caps through the omicrons or Give indies Sirius Wide ZoI and remove all their caps rights. I'm asking for a normal indie id, a playable id on which I can have fun without the need to join a stupid faction for it. I didn't come here to play x where I'm forced to join y for the sake of getting access to cooler toys, I came to have FUN , to spread the fun around, and all that kinda stuff, but no one can do such with that kind of id. The ID restructions are the problems here (especially the one where you can't tractor stuff)

Now, everyone says that they don't wanna see or interact with trigger happy crappers, who'd just uncloak and shoot. I recall there was this new rule implemented, where it doesn't allow nomads to do such things anymore with the exception of order and core, so no, unless its order or core, those things will not happen, so keep the lame excuse to yourselves because it is in fact, a simple excuse.

I could keep going on and on and on but I'm on a stupid Samsung that lags a lot when typing many things. Anyways, don't miss the point, try to understand other's points of views too THEN reply. That was my intention when I resurrected this thread.
