If you really cared for more than just getting yourself a nom ships and guns, you'd use 'search' button and realize that this has been discussed looong loong time ago (day, the muuuuusic died. So byee bye miss American pie...)
No matter how hard you try, you just cant deny the little "Can attack any ship or station at will." thingy. Like Revan_ said, hanging such 'benefit' to 'just' someone would lead to (especially with those 'new' players you mentioned in your post) pvp abuse.
You are absolutely right on the point, that Nomad activity should rise. But let me enlighten you young one. Mostly being a member of nomad faction leads to "Nomad!!!! Engagublin. Eradicate! Everone halt, and attack nomad instead!" which, afterwards, leads to sexy gankbang of your own imagination.
Reason why most Keepers (speaking as oldie here sowy, but i guess KHara are much alike) prolly got bored or annoyed by being member of nomad faction, because they simply got pewpewd at instantly. That itself may be the reason of their inactivity. Too many player unwilling to RP with them... Or should i say, too few willing to RP with them...?
Now for the trolling part of my reply.
I wouldnt freely hand it over to someone like you who says: "Im here 1month, but i wanna nomad, so can i has?" Something tells me you didnt even try to apply to KHara, and even if you did, your simply not the patient one. Pathetic topic as these are in my eyes Q_Q-attemts to achieve something the easy way.
I dont know why it had not happened yet, but i think the devs decided not to freely hand it over, and im glad. Wanna be nomad? Wanna has shinny ships and purple gunsies? Apply to the faction. Its lot more easy to get it KHara as it was to Keepers. So you should be grateful, and sacrifice some time to it. Be patient.
'new' players (you being one of them i presume since there is always more to learn in ze discooo!) would only bring dissaster to nomad RP, turning its diamond existence to " *** you 'human' and kos to 'nomads' so i -die- you *** kind of thingy. Maybe not you directly, but by few its most likely to happen.

This. And its because it is automaticaly expected of those wielding the IDs, to properly RP, and honor the RP part of this server as Igiss created it. It is theirs (ours should i say) responsibility some sort, to never think of abusing the little "Can attack any ship or station at will." thingy.
Well, would lie to you if i said i never abused it myself, but never hand clearminded intentions to do so. Only after "Nomaaaaad!!! Keeeel! Spaaartaaaa!!"
Prove them your worthy to achieve this responsibility.
Thats my opinion and answer to you.
Have to support Kikatsu's ninja message though. As hard as i try, its been a while since i last flew with more than just 3 noms. These factions should reconsider maybe even further application changes to work as a gateway, not as source. And boosting their activity that is, and i agree on that as i mentioned.
