Well, I am basing my opinion on the original Freelancer SP camapign. Why ? You may ask. Well, because I think we shouldn't just completely forget or rewrite anything that happened in it.
There the players first contact with the nomads ended with disaster, they reduced FP 7 into ashes for an artifact quite significant I agree but still... if that wasn't a violent act, then tell me what it was.
Also the leaders of Rheinland got possessed, if I remember correctly one of your NPC companions mentions that Rheinland began acting strangely since one of their archeologist teams made a significant discovery.
The Nomads should have just erased the Rheinlanders memory, put the key back to where it belonged or if really needed dispose them and make it look like an incident, Nomads are quite cunning afterall.
So all in all instead of trying to communicate. They used subterforge, cunning, stealth (cloaking device on the pesky Rh ships) to try and destroy most of humanity. Not by themselfes, mind you, that is the reason they wanted to possess the most important leaders of each of the four Houses, and engulf Sirius in a war, thus the humans will do the dirty job for them by killing each other.
This is why most people, look at them as a threat, in my opinion.
p.s.: sorry if my post isn't too pleasant to look at, I will try to shake it into shape
