Are there any actual nomads left ?

[Agmen of Eladesor]

Your equipment isn't OP per se, so why would any Pvp-whore bother with the Nomads?

Remember that it USED to be the most powerful gear in the game. That's one reason things were so restrictive in the faction - you're giving out what are effectively terrorist ID's with super powerful guns and gear. You want responsible people to have them.

Second is that the Nomads aren't some variant on humanity. As a race of beings, albeit a created race, they have their own psychology, their own way of doing things. Here are two scenarios:
Irra in New York - over mindspeak (since Nomads don't use radios), you hear ***Softskins - not enemies (?) - why hardskins (humans(?)) attack (!)***
Irra in New York - You Russ? I kill all!

Seriously, which do you think is the better scenario, given that the Nomad racial history and back story is available for everyone to read, and what do you think would happen with totally open gear and simply treating Nomads like they're some variation of human pirates (which is what I'm hearing you say, even if that's not what you're intending).

Oh god... The end of days... Agmen agreed with me.
