if we started to spam nomad battleships, i d understand the concern ( in 4.83 you could have spammed them, in theory ) - but nomad weapons are so common.... everyone knows them, allmost everyone has used them at some point, - and for everyone in the borderworlds its fine to use them.
militaries don t use them, cause there is something like "uniform"... so militaries don t just mount what they like. - anyway, i d consider it more serious to limit every aspect of the game instead of leaving freedom of choice. - again, there are very few people that mount 4 nomad guns/blasters, cause not too many factions have weapons that synth well with them.
As far as server regulation goes, I don't believe a regulation is at hand. As Jinx has stated, these weapons are too common. As in game regulations go, I think that we only gain in ambiance if we treat Nomads with due respect, not just as cattle to farm cannons and blasters from.

Hence my example of what happened here in Brazil with the radioactive material. The general populace (bar few exceptions) wouldn't care less (only if there was a great deal of fear propaganda). As far as the game goes, it seems that the whole Nomad incident wasn't so much unveiled to the general public, so I think a great deal of the people would in fact, not mind using some fancy alien tech, specially if it came in a recognizable package.
What I was trying to say is that for the people who have all the pieces of what happened during the war, they would be VERY wary of what may happen if these items keep being applied. In fact, I'd put Artifacts in the same group (that's why I can't really wrap my head around the Order/Corsair alliance).
