Nomad players do not add anything to the roleplay. They're a PVP faction and PVP faction only. they can not RP by themselves because that would go against the lore and nature of the nomads themselves. they're drones programmed to attack anything non nomad, and the human players are the same.
by that rule, Nomad players are impossible to be roleplayed with because it is simply not possible, therefore not adding anything to the roleplay environment as a whole. AI controlled ships and player controlled ships are indistinguishable from a RP perspective.
Arguments such as "That's Nomad behavior" or "Nomads are supposed to attack on sight" are not valid points against the statement "Nomad players do not add anything to the roleplay".
If anyone can prove the contrary, that Nomads do add to the roleplay, I'd be glad to give a listen. And no, combat/PVP is NOT roleplay, and this also applies to whatever macros nomad players do before right clicking. It's saying "Engaging" with extra steps.
