Allow Nomad Capitals for the indie Nomad ID (and some other changes)

[Lythrilux]

Capitals are an ineffective means of destroying transports anyway. If they want to do that they'll grab either the Nammu or the Bomber (which they already have access to)

Erm, no. If the transport is sat at the FP, decloak, RP engage. If the transport is in the middle of nowhere then someone can CD it, decloak, RP engage.

If the transport is at the FP it can just dock then. Not like it wouldn't have heard the obvious cloaking noises beforehand. And with cloaking disruptors around, it can just be thrown out of cloak.

And if we're going to simply restrict caps based on the notion that "A lot of people have the 'I don't care' attitude when on Indi's" why are we bothering to allow any faction's indies to fly Capital ships? I've said it myself - Core, Order, Zoners, Corsairs, Outcasts etc. already have access to caps and I don't see any of these fears you hold actually occuring.

And as I said, a terrorist ID that can engage ANYTHING they feel they desire to attack and people will take advantage of that and abuse it. All those factions you've listed have restrictions on who they can shoot. Like, transports for instance.

It's not like they can't blow up the transports without making a demand though. All these IDs are essentially on the same tier in the Omicrons PvP wise (well, except Zoners of course unless attacked first) but the Nomad ID is so low down that there's just no point flying the indie ID.

If this was to ever somehow happen then I would make these changes:

Cannot Fly Battleships, only cruisers.
Cannot engage Transports with a cruiser.
Cannot leave the Omicrons with Cruisers.

That's a half measure though. And half measures don't work.

Why would they even leave Omicrons in capitals? Makes no sense.

No idea. Lyth said they should be able to travel to the Omegas.

Some of the Omegas are Edge Worlds fyi. Some of which are also the home systems of the Wild, or have high Wild presence.
