Nomad Armor / Shield logic?

[Caconym]

I think you guys are looking too far into this. What's the difference if it saying "Nomad armor" instead of "Armor upgrade". There are FAR more important things for the developers to spend their time on

Then what's the difference in having Nomad Cloaks and Normal Cloaks, tell me that? 8|

One of them is a literal rip-off of barely understood alien tech literally stuck onto the hull of spaceships and powered by a fuel-hungry, inefficient reactor. The other is part of the anatomy of said aliens, who just happen to be partly composed of pure energy that they can oh-so-conveniently direct into cloaking themselves. That's (part of) the reason the Nomad Cloak is superior to the "normal" cloak, and makes sense inRP.
Regarding armor, I guess it's more of an ooRP thing. It's more of a gameplay mechanic than anything; I've never seen anyone go around extensively using their armor upgrade into their RP, and the few times I've seen it mentioned, it was in the description of a ship; that shouldn't affect nomads too much. The only reason as to why it might be a bit disturbing (in my opinion) is if an armor upgrade is seen on a Nomad ship during a scan, but that's about it. So as Russell put it, you're looking too far into something that, while making some sense in the long run, doesn't really affect RP or gameplay mechanics in a negative way, and thus shouldn't really be taken care of at the moment, since there are other issues that need to be addressed first.
