How to be Nomad

[boxcartenant]

Hi again, all.

So, if you restart as a nomad, you're given 25k, a nomad id, and a camera ship -- fine.
However, the description of the camera ship says that you're not allowed to do anything but fly around and look at things in it. Not only that, but when you try to buy things on the nomad worlds (which are the only ones where you're allowed to land), you get "access denied".

How do baby nomads grow up to fly real nomad ships, without breaking any rules? (lets look at this from within the boundaries of RP)
Someone (non-nomad) has to give a large sum of money to a stranger from a faction with which they are at war, for no reason within the RP universe. This is an extremely unlikely scenario. Plus, it doesn't make sense to start nomads with a ship that can't make money, and not enough money to buy a ship. You guys can do better.

That said...
What if my RP character is a nomad who aspires to slowly develop a better reputation with other factions, and then attain a foreign ID? And what if my non-RP agenda is to fly nomad ships all over the galaxy and do missions for other factions as such, or to be a pirate in a nomad ship? What if a pirate commandeers a nomad ship from within a nomad base (by barging in guns blazing and offering to exchange a fair sum of money for it)?
