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

[Lythrilux]

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.

Not everyone has their sound effects turned right up and not everyone has a Cloak Disrupter Lyth.

If they don't have their sound effects turned up, tough? Is human ignorance really a reason to defend the traders inability to keep safe? Next you'll be telling me we need to replace guns with bubble shooters. Cloak Disruptors themselves are becoming more and more common, so the playing field is starting to level out.

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

No it's not. It's to stop people from abusing such things which I don't think you quite see.

But they don't work. There's evidence suggesting such that what we have tried has not worked.

Edit:

And with the restrictions imposed on the indie Nomad ID, it's practically impossible for someone to create their own Nomad faction and take it in a direction that could perhaps allow for a K'Hara alternative.

How is it impossible? I really don't get how. With that logic there should never have been a Xeno faction. People can work on their RP, they can SRP things, they can go for officialdom, they can get sponsors from K'Hara to fly a cap.

Go make an indie Nomad faction then. I'm sure you'll find there's lots of people you can work with.

But seriously, can we? Let's face it. The Nomad indie ID is a failed experiment right now.

this is the only good point in this entire thread. And i told everyone it would be in 2012.

so lets remove it and grandfather the kids who managed to slip in. thatl get my standing ovation.

That'll just make the Edge Worlds more empty. We should expand things rather than restrict them.

what could it change? Spectating some lolwuts flying marduks and raping everything without RP... Meh, won't see it.

Repeating myself, if letting indies have access to caps defaults to all them being lolwuts, then why bother letting them fly caps in the first place?
Also, all Nomad IDs were nerfed to be forced to RP before engaging. So they won't be shooting things without RP.

Also, when am I going to get more people posting in this thread who aren't in K'Hara? There's no problem hearing what they have to say but... would be nice to get some unbiased opinions.
