Need some RP clarifications

3. Nomad "sensors":
According to the nomad lore 1.31, nomads are able to change the energy levels in the circuits of jumpgates
so they can activate them. Some AI players mentioned that nomads are unable to communicate with AI
vessels. Based upon that, my question is how do nomads lock on targets? I believe human radar/scanners
are searching for energy traces or transponder signals (correct me if i'm wrong here). Do nomads lock instead
of the ship's energy core, on the pilot's mind? Or both energy and thoughts?

3.a) If yes:

I) Within what range? System wide or within the immediate environs of the nomad ship (15K)?
II)The nomad lore mentions an Outcast who could communicate with nomads with the help of an artifact.
Does this work in reverse? I mean, is there the slightest possibility of the existence of an artifact,
that's completely able to hide the thought of a pilot, by... don't know.... generating some sort of negative PSI-field?

3. Nomads could communicate with AIs if they so desired, but they don't. AI ships are either obstacles to be ignored, or targets if they become a threat.

Nomads send data directly to the minds of those they are communicating with, meaning that their 'voices' are heard inside the human mind, as if someone were whispering in your ear.

The 'fractured' Nomad speech is the result of the troubled communication between Nomads and Humans. The Nomad transfers a great deal of information in a split second, and the majority of it is so complicated or alien that the human mind only picks up on and registers parts it recognises.
This means that the speech comes out broken and only a few words are recognisable.

The answer being, the Pilot's Mind. Pretty much.


3a.

I) Using the power of the Mindshare, Nomad ships can tap into the minds of anything they are aware of, the size of the Nomad ships dicates the range at which it can communicate effectively. The bigger the better.
II) The Nomads sometimes grant devices to certain humans that allows them to communicate more effectively with the Nomads, such as slowing or sorting the information transmitted, or allow their mind to enter a part of the Nomad Mindshare anywhere in Sirius and communicate with the Nomads at any time.Spectres are given such devices to communicate with the Nomads anywhere in Sirius or Gallia.
A device such as that would belong to the Nomads, or be Nomad Technology.

Following such RP without the help/approval of Treewyrm is a really bad idea, talk to him about it if you think it could be good RP.
