Currently, on my point of view, a nomad encounter is something to be seen as prized, for some even craved. I, for one, met a K'Hara not long ago ig, we talked for while and then departed our ways, not even firing once. Thats the kind of nomads I would enjoy seeing much more often on the server and I firmly don't believe opening nomads would do anything at all to improve that frequency.
From where I sit that would result into system wide messages going "nice fight" and piracy on noms, which whatever you may say will always be open to happen by lolwuts who discovered the /restart nomad command and disregard rules. Something that simply won't happen with a locked faction.
I really don't know how to put this better: Right now, I hold the nomads on the top of the rp quality of the server. I actually seek them out for rping whenever I have the chance, 'cause meeting a morph or a K'Hara means that whomever is playing with that blue shiny thingie actually wants to try talking differently and rp with something else than a human. Of course I'd love to see a fleet of Noms passing through Texas and blasting humes onto the sun now and then or something, but I have to say thats solved with more events than otherwise.
Not wishing to pick up a fight, I just flipped out when I read "Open" and "nomad" on the same phrase.
