There were 5 lines of the usual *** light good - darkness bad - ours angry and superior and spitfire now *** in what looks like 49 seconds before the k'hara opened fire, and 2 lines of the same dropped about 5 seconds after opening fire from they indy.
I should probably clarify a few things tho.
My gripe with you/K'hara and some people is not that you shoot people, and don't RP "enough", or even that ***the way*** in which nomads are forced to RP is one of the most brain dead things one can find in disco, and that's saying something.
My gripe is that you, and a lot of other people/factions, are hypocrites about it. Outsiders are made to expect something they won't get, and that leads to disappointment and nerdraeg. For example the attitude of "we RP with people who deserve it and murder people who don't, without giving them a chance to RP, because we don't expect them to RP anyway" gets people who tried to RP with you blown up, who will later (or previously) see you declare you are the greatest RPers and its the others who dont RP and only shoot (or dock).
Its a phenomenon in disco you see across many other factions who consider themselves "better than others", and has been omnipresent from 2008 to now. It's part of why OFs should really get better guidelines and recommendations from staff on how they are expected to behave, than the "Faction rights and obligations" we have.
Furthermore:
In my opinion all non "wild" nomads should be permitted to engage without any text RP at all within certain omicron systems.
They should also be able to mine iridium, azurite, and artifacts in delta and knossos, and be able to pirate for cargo, have larger cargo holds than the human counterpart ships class, and have decent sell price for some stuff on nomad bases.
That would open disco for people who dont speak english and broaden the player base, and give nomads other things to do than /l1 /l2 pew pew pew.
Also, nomad lore needs to be changed so it permits more interesting RP. Currently nomads across the board look like emotionally driven superiority-complexed teenagers who have the psychological depth of a cephalopod and a speech impediment. That's not a "you problem", that's a disco nomad lore problem.
