Let's talk aliens.

It seems to me that everybody is missing the two true weaknesses of the nomads.

First, their technology relies heavily on biological improvements. That means that to them viruses and bacteria are much like rust and water damage is to us. It's probable that thier ships are so shot through with disease and plauge that even Typhoid Marry would wear a vac suit around them. No, the weakness of thier ships is in the mechanical aspects and thier interface with the biological. Mess up the interface between thier two technologies and they will be easy prey.

Thier second weakness is that they don't understand us any better than we understand them. How does this help? Well, each of thier patrols contains multiple ships, but is controlled by only one mind. That makes them the ultimate organizers. The best way to disrupt organization is to bring chaos into it. When we attack them, throw out formations and wingmen tactics. Simply mob them attacking from all angles with all different kinds of weapons. It is my bet that, while our minds can handle this kind of confusion, even revel in it from time to time, the Nomads will be so disoriented that taking them apart will be as easy as that time you beat down the neihbors kid.

So, hit them with weapons designed to interrupt thier biomechanical interfaces and drown them in chaos. We don't know thier neurological circuitry, or even if they have them, but thier thoughts have to be processed, moved through thier body into an interface, reprocessed, and then carried out. That means there has to be some kind of energy involved and all we have to do is to find the right kind, right wavelength, and then, disrupt it. And while we are doing that, we swarm them one time, attack in a straight line the next. Make it so they can't predict our movements and patterns because there are no patterns and we don't know where we're moving next, ourselves.

emp's? like disruptors?
