People used to be able to play Nomad characters with 200 players on the server, without permanent cloaks, and have a good time with both PvP and RP opportunities. What need is there for a compromise if the past has already proven it's perfectly possible to play a Nomad "fulfillingly" with much larger numbers of enemies around, and without permanent cloaks?
I was around to see cloaks rapidly "ruin" the K'Hara faction, and I think it's a huge shame that that happened. My Nomad ships were my favourite ships to fly for a long time, and for the first time in years Nomad gear is also reasonably PvP-capable. But by now, nobody wants to fly - with, or against - Nomad characters.
@the post above me: I specifically balanced the Rabisu to be top-tier. It's very likely to be better than top-tier. It's not really used enough to be able to conclude anything and do a second balance pass on it just yet, though.
