Just some things from the faction posts:

Player Versus Player

In this faction PvP is dictated by roleplay, not the other way around. We don't PvP just for the sake of PvP. However what we all must understand is that PvP remains largest factor of fun in the game, and it is the essential part.

Keepers are allowed to attack on sight any target other than Nomads (not even NPCs) and Infected factions. Keepers will vigorously defend their territories (see blow).

Certain factors may result in provoking hostility. For example if a character is seen in any of the following activities:

* Hunting Nomad NPCs (Keepers will defend their own kind without remorse)
* Carrying or using Nomad equipment, such as Nomad Blasters, Nomad Thrusters, etc
* Carrying Nomad "brains"
* Carrying Artifacts (!)
* Following ships and other irritating behavior



Keepers will not tolerate military human force in the systems of their zone of interest. Having no nomad tech does not guarantee safe passage, the Nomads don't make guarantees, you can be killed regardless of that. Traders, being the least concern to the Keepers, are typically left alone unless they behavior provokes hostility. Combat vessels are most likely to be attacked since they pose a threat, the closer vessel to Keepers home territories the more chance of being attacked.

Massive fleet movements, large battles and such activities can attract attention from Keepers. Attempts to communicate may result in Keepers changing their course to investigate the source of transmissions. Typically it's best to leave them alone if you wish to avoid encounter. As a general rule of thumb peeking into their areas of interest is already a risk regardless of the ship you fly or the faction you belong to.

Anyways, carrying anything farmed from Nomad NPCs is a good way to get yourself blown to pieces. If you really want to avoid getting nuked by Keepers or Nomads, just don't act hostile, try to RP with them if you can and if that doesn't work... Then you can't say you didn't try.
