so... nomads going to have a base?

Dunno about that cause I never tried to supply one. But arent there more nomads and wilde together than there are... I dunno... DSE? It would be challenging, sure. But isnt the challenge the thing that makes games fun? In my opinion having a goal like that would be more fun than to fly around spamming ***RP*** at people without any other goal. Many players who think being a nomad is boring may feel the same.

The issue is you have to find a transport specifically hauling or hire ones to do so. Its just not practical. And metagaming is quite prevalent. Yes its fun to have a goal, but in a system like this it would be beyond frustrating. I don't think even pirate groups, ones much larger than us, try something like this simply because its such an impractical method of getting the supplies for the base.

You have to find the Transport, get the goods, get a Wilde Transport, haul the goods to the base, and do this for hundreds upon thousands of supplies for the base. By the time the Wilde could make a cloaking device it would probably be .89 even if they went for the 'bare bones' base.

Theoritically wilde and nomads should collaborate on exactly that: getting stuff from humans for the goals of the nomads.

We do collaborate, but on a project of such scale is just a bit much. Not to mention getting K'hara from the deep Omnis to the Omegas takes a bit of sneaking. And Wilde typically don't leave far from the Omegas or Taus because dying on your Wilde is frowned upon, not to mention similar metagaming issues that K'hara has.

As far as I know the ID ninja-reps you back to full green every time you land (or die). So theoretically, you could get those parts more easily than anyone else. Ok it would be weird to shoot your own kind, but hey... nomads wouldnt be the first. Black Widows do it. Ant and termite colonies do it. Territorial chimps do it. Humans do it. Shark babies eat each others up in their mother's womb, and the strongest one is the one to survive and get born.

Still ooRP. Nomads aren't termite colonies, they're a highly advanced alien race that is/was a single 'organism' linked mentally. The concept of individuals was something completely alien to Nomads as they were to humans. So attacking yourself to make something out of yourself seems a bit off.
