Anti-Nomad Missions for BH, Zoners and Order

[NonSequitor]

as far as i remember, we dicussed it - and decided against adding anti-nomad missions ( at least for zoners )

not sure about bhg and the order though. zoners are still regarded as a mostly trading faction with a mostly neutral standing ( at least i think that this was the pov of the mod creator..... , not necessarily some players in the recent past on the public forum ) - so they shouldn t have high risk missions against the scourge of mankind.

the BHG and the order might get such missions - but it could also inspire "less respect" for the nomads - as when you kill them in the dozen or more, they decline from being tough to just regular NPCs that happen to be blue.

The "less respect" factor did occur to me when I tried to think about this matter from different perspectives. The routine killing of Nomads could make them less unique, less mysterious in some players' eyes.

Ok, the Nomads are a scary, face-eating bunch of xenoforms bent on the destruction of humanity, but I don't see a weighty reason to have them excluded from missions. As a concession, the price of Nomad tissues (brains) could be lowered, to discourage npc farming. And Missions would be very difficult indeed, with the whole gambit of vessel types to face: gunboats, bombers, fighters, cruisers and even battleships.

The Zoner question: I think it highly plausible that Zoners could offer Nomad missions out of FP 11. It would be in their interest to do so. On at least two fronts: economical and strategic. They have the funds to finance bounties on Nomads, nor will killing xenoforms compromise their political dealings with other factions.

Right now, I'm thinking that Nomad missions would be offered on three stations: FP 11 (Zoners), Dabadouru (Bounty Hunters) and Battleship Isis (Order).

Edit: Doesn't some faction offer missions against the Wilde? Is it the Junkers in Sigma-13? So if that's the case, why not have Nomad missions?
