Outcasts and Nomads

[Robert.Fitzgerald]

2. The public nomad fighter is supposed to be rubbish. Pvp skills have no meaning for the Keepers, it's about roleplay. Would a hybrid nomad really have that much control over his/her/its ship? They shouldn't be engaging in pvp anyway, considering the guidelines in the Keepers Post and the lovely reports from uninformed players. I equipped Magma Hammers on my Nomad Hybrid, but I never used them.

4. Anyone who expects these guys to try their 'rp' in omicron kappa is off their rocker. They do not have friendly status towards npc nomads, and the Nomads in kappa will absolutely rape everything they encounter. In addition, there are almost never any players in omicron kappa - how are you supposed to demonstrate your ability to RP a nomad if nobody is ever around to witness it?

This is completly incorrect. My trial nomad (and many others) have spent his (its?) time in Kappa and Delta, widely regarded as some of the most dangerous systems. The Nomad Light Fighter is very agile. If npcs come after you, just dodge and find a safer spot.

Anyway, you don't need players around to be a good roleplayer. It is more likely for a nomad to contact a human personally, ie private chat, than to use system chat. It would use less energy to contact one person, than to make a system-wide message. Trial nomads aren't at the peak of their power, so the private option seems to be the best.

About docking on Human bases: I would suggest against it, for game play and roleplay reasons. Firstly, while the Outcasts may revere the Nomads as spirits, they would unlikely let them dock with their bases. How does a nomad ship actually dock with a human station? They can't exactly just hail the command and say "***Let.me.in***".
Secondly, the bases in Alpha are crewed by robots, would a Robot recognise the special relationship between the Outcasts and the "Spirits"? Unlikely. It would probably detect an organic signal and deny any docking procedures.

Gameplay: not every Outcast player knows about the relationship between them and the nomads, so these players would likely be confused about a nomad ship docking with Ibiza/Malta. Keepers aren't allowed to dock on human bases, so why are trial nomads?
Note: Kappa planets are OORP bases, so they don't really count.
