Unfortunately, I'm coming here with heavy criticism. I sincerely hope that it will not offend anyone, but I think that it needs to be taken in consideration.
Yesterday, me and my friend (we were in an Aquilon carrier and a brand new Nephilim colony ship respectively) were flying from a mission and encountered four Nomads, one of them was a Marduk (K'Hara|Hecate), others were indie Nammu named Kes'Khan (who is, as we were told before, is the "inrp personal guardian of Hecate") and two smaller ships which we did not identify.

[28.01.2016 18:38:40] Pravda|TARKR-Kuznetsov: Gumilev: Time to kill smaller ones.

[28.01.2016 18:39:58] Pravda|TARKR-Kuznetsov: Gumilev: Out of range. Okay, we're moving off for repairs.
At first, their RP was very questionable. The Nomads are species with two million year history at least, which supposes that they are highly evolved, sapient beyond that humans can understand, thus being ultimately superior over "darklings", "monkeys" and such. Contrary to this, in our 'meeting', the Nomads (and first of all, the member of official K'Hara| faction) generally displayed simple hate and rage, which is supposed to be a behavior of species yet to become sentient or ones which accomplished it just recently (even accounting that we had just finished a 42-level mission against Nomads, the K'Hara could express the cause of their rage a little better), with only minor desire to get some knowledge. In some way, they got it: now they know how they shall not fight. I suggest to review the RP which leads to engagement, and make it at least a little more logical, a little beyond simple rage, or this will seriously 'put down' the Nomads, will break that unique sense of deadliness and total superiority which the old K'Hara had.
Their behavior on the battlefield was, too, not the best one. At first, we were unpleasantly surprised by that fact that the Nomads now consider as normal to just write ***(Rage)*** and then immediately start shooting, without giving any time to response, let alone sufficient time. While we were writing proper engagement notice, they downed the shield of our Nephilim completely and lowered it's hull to about 80%. Thus, we were forced to simply close the chat box and answer with fire instead in order to be not destroyed just there and then. We do not think that this behavior of Nomads is acceptable, because it is ruinous for roleplay encounters as a whole.
The battle's flow was also poor. I have to admit that the Nammu gunboat had acquired a strategically good position, high up in the rear hemisphere of my friend's Nephilim, but after this the gunboat was simply sitting and firing upon us without any maneuvers, oblivious to the fact that two capital ships are turning towards it. As a predictable result, Kes'Khan ate six Mortars in a row and was catapulted to Iota in mere seconds. The snubs — whatever they were, I didn't look — instead of trying to support the Hecate somehow, they just ran away as soon as business began to smell with gunpowder. The Marduk itself made a big mistake: it began to close the distance, and as a result, it was positioned sidewards to Nephilim and backwards to me. So, the Marduk was quickly finished, taking fire from point blank range, despite it was constantly repairing and the Nephilim had no batteries and a little portion of nanobots. In essence, the K'Hara lost in a 4v2 battle, while having the most imbalanced battleship in game on their side, against an Aquilon with PvE/antisnub setup and a Nephilim player whose all experience in flying capital ships is a few hours of shooting NPCs. More practice in Connecticut would be very, very useful.
I hope that this is not taken offensively by anyone involved and that this will help to restore the good old K'Hara faction.
