I have sent Conner the excerpts from the Chatlog and he will look into it. I hope we can sort this out. The event ends tomorrow (praise the Lord) and after that things will hopefully be different. I really would like to see and interact with Nomad roleplay.
I'm aware of the Lore, that OC kinda worship the Nomads and thus they are less hostile to even neutral/indifferent to OC. Yet I don't think Nomads would take a side in a human conflict. They would take all sides, to try to pitch humans against each other, like in the SP campaign.
Also yes, they are very hostile towards Corsair for taking their trinkets, respectively Dom K'Vosh artifacts and I'm perfectly fine with them jumping on a Corsair vessel, which has a cargo hold full of artifacts.
Nevertheless, this is an event with predefined participants in PVP and probably severe consequences for the Sigmas. Outsider are invited to help with the shipment of the event comms. For the ease of the community it is always better, non participant factions don't interfere.
It would be different if it would be a smuggling event between OC and Sairs, about who brings more contraband into the New York System. Since it effects artifacts Nomads would be welcome to interdict Sair shipments.
