Nomads

[jammi]

I really don't mind the Khara's new hostility experiment and I'd happily set up a whole bunch of false flag QQ threads just to force Huggie to follow up on his extension threats. However, there is a big but appended to that sentiment.

Nomad faction cloaks make interactions with any of the official factions an incredibly frustrating experience for the majority. I know many simply refuse to log in or actively log out when they see you nearby. Disruptors are incredibly rare and directly gimp the ship mounting them, leading to an extremely small proliferation.

This is at least partially the fault of the way they're implemented. The tables are stacked way in favour of the Nomads here, and the fact that you'll actively avoid the exceedingly few ships that bother mounting disruptors further undermines their point. I've personally caught a few Khara with my disruptor resulting in their untimely demise, but that's certainly the exception and not the rule.

I honestly think you guys would take a lot less flak if your cloaks didn't have infinite duration and instead used some kind of fuel to promote more tactical usage. Maybe liquid cardimine?
