- Aren't anywhere near their hives and aren't in any Nomad home system
- Maintain a respectful distance
- Make your peaceful intentions clear
If you do all that, there's a good chance the Nomad can be willing to roleplay. At least my K'Hara characters would be.
After all, the mindshare does want humans that are open towards them, whether to infect them or to use as "cultists" that try to convince other humans.
I am still convinced that nomad players are indistinguishable from AI-controlled nomads. since the "leader" of the faction openly admitted to avoiding RP because the only good RP are theirs only or the RP they judge worthy, I'll start doing the same towards the hivemind nomad faction, and any RP attempts of their part, I will personally void them and proceed as nothing happened.
what's the point of partaking in a faction whose role can be 100% done by simple AI? AI sees, AI approaches, AI shoots. Player sees, Player approaches, Player does /1 /2, shoots. What's the difference? It's in the endorsed manual to just destroy, and nothing more. is the character even in your control when you have no other way of acting?
"But if you make your intentions clear things might turn out different!"
How, if the very "leader" of the faction endorses not giving space to roleplay because it is "unworthy", according to their own judgement?:
Quote:there is nothing for me to do but /1 /2. It's like clicking through the dialogue of an annoying character in a visual novel. Instead of clicking the fast forward button at the bottom of the screen
If the mods themselves allow this behavior from a faction leader - who is supposed to be an example - to continue, expect the roleplay element towards K'Hara/Nomad to simply vanish. Because this is what I'm doing from now on. Since he can, I'll do too, and I'll encourage others to do the same.
K'Hara/Nomad should be completely be removed as a playable faction. Nomads with preserved individuality/personality can still be played.
