Spacebound Nomads can control and indoctrinate humans through "verbal" manipulation and lies. Still, they cannot force it as Infiltrators can via long-term exposure (unless character is a Cardamine addict or an Outcast). In this regard, they are in a very similar situation to other humans—their victims might block off their "words" or "visions" by their own will.
That is why Nomads really, really need Infiltrators to control humanity.
EDIT: This isn't a big change, as space-bound Nomads couldn't control humans via telepathy without infection. It always required other player's consent. If they say 'no' now, their characters are just sane enough not to allow Nomads to go further.
