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

[Jeremy Hunter]

Where is all this stigma coming from? On one hand it seems like K'Hara doesn't want anyone to get access to their toys because it seemingly runs the risk of making them defunct (when it really doesn't), on the other people have these unjust fears that allowing Nomad indies to stand toe-to-toe with their enemies in the Omicrons will somehow make them worse than every other indiebase combined and be the biggest crisis since the Wall Street Crash. If letting indies use caps is really this oh-so-bad then perhaps we should remove caps from every ID?

Christ the amount of snooby elitism in this thread absolutely stinks and it's what's killing this mod. I'm almost starting to feel sick when making some of these replies.

Look at the entire GRN-BAF conflict. Even with all the ID freedoms that conflict is as stagnant as the Order-Nomad conflict.

I have my own misgivings about people given the Nomad ID, but when the Order was restricted to the Omicrons in caps with the ID changes, it made a lot of bullshizznit end. It could work, but that is up to the official faction. It'd make the fighters fair, possibly. Again, look at the GRN-BAF conflict. I led GRN, and hell, we still were outgunned. One of the few times I remember a fair fight was when Dab, myself, and another Valor kept that one shrimp base's weapons down as our fighters engaged. Was fun. We had a huge fight a few months later, pretty even at first.


But that is a few instances out of multiple ridiculous and utterly idiotic fights I witness while leading the GRN, and I have no doubt Omi has dealt with the same. Could giving Nomad indies access to caps give us more war? Sure. But it also could give us an UNBALANCED war in the end, much like the GRN/BAF war did.



But the server can prove us all wrong.


That's my final thoughts on the matter.
