This is actually relevant to my feedback for the K'hara faction.
I'll ignore my numerous and horrendous encounters with indie Nomads (who are pretty much NPCs in both ability and behaviour). But every single encounter with K'hara| on any of my non Order characters has resulted in a fight. Or destruction when my transport gets caught by an Irra. Which is fair enough, as the role of Nomads is genocidal aliens.
But what is the general roleplay of K'hara meant to be? I've seen and heard some complaints on Discord and sometimes on the forums about how people don't RP with you. What do you actually expect from any encounters?
Do Nomads actually expect/want grovelling or cowering in fear? Because my Zoner tried that in a Firefly and got called a warm metal husk and destroyed. My Freelance Corvo tried to engage in curious dialogue and got called a warm metal husk and destroyed.
Nomads are good antagonists in singleplayer, but it gets a bit confusing and messy when different players have different ideas when it comes to roleplaying an "advanced" alien species that cannot communicate with "lesser" species. Some want to kill, some want submission and fear (for some reason) and some just seem to want enjoy their perma cloak in the New York system.
