Idea for nomads (keepers)

[ryoken]

But you can still roleplay with chat, yes? Or was that nerfed as well?

They never did that in the past, so why would they start now? All they do is pew pew you if you enter nad space with "if your lucky" 1 word like ****HOSTILE**** pew pew. They are an almost dead, closed group that most no longer even care about. They do not in no way need or deserve any new "super weapon"

+1 to that. had a very similar encounter with some players of the guild "wilde", in omega 7,3and bretonia (new london). exactly the same behavior, killin empty traders and lvl 32 fighters for one more frag (a party of 3 wilde gunboats). bunch of nerds if you ask me:)

I always roleplay with chat, regarless if i fly overpowered or underpowered stuff. Nerfed was my ability to survive against impossible odds...
And Wilde =/= K'hara
But np... People always whine about something they dont approve of or cant have. Its human nature...

Ah, thank god, the universe has been restored, I disagree with Ryoken again. :lol:

So far I've run at least 3 players out of nomad space with my RP (and it wasn't by body odor, either) - and never even saw them on my scanners to shoot at them. And I feel like if I have to end up shooting someone in regular space, it's because there's been a breakdown in RP and/or communication.

What can I say? I prefer role-playing without shooting if possible. (Which is good, because most of our stuff is now no better than regular stuff.)

Oh god... The end of days... Agmen agreed with me.

Actually, would be a nice idea if could be coded (but I am afraid you can't). Need the source code for that.


Also, Keepers (now K'Hara, no real difference) always RP'ed with me, and I recall only 2 encounters that I was given /l1 /l2 and was attacked - both in Omicron Iota :rolleyes:

As for Das Wilde - depends of the mood and the person. Some gave me 3 sentences and attacked, others RP'ed for a long while.


At any case, Nomads equipment isn't really OP, except for the LF, and perhaps the cruiser (debatable).

VHF - quite good, but not overpowered.

Their bomber is medium - nothing special, nor lame

The gunboat is a real shame, with the nerfed nomad GB turrets it's really underpowered and if you are engaged even by a solo fighter it's a death sentence. (Heck, even some transports offer greater offense)

Maraduk - nothing too special, rips apart at close range, but pretty much useless to face its normal enemies who fly much lighter battleships (Mako, Osiris).

Till now I mostly had RP and not PvP orientated interaction with Nommies. Also, every faction(-member) is in the mood of some simple pewpew sometimes and you can't blame them.

As for Das Wilde, even if not directly related to the threads OP, I sometimes need to raise an eyebrow, but it's nothing I'd worry about.

The nomads where quite overpowered in .85 (Voidnomnomnom), but it's been ''fixed'' now and was balanced mostly to average levels, although I liked the idea of the Nomads being a bit more scary by means of equipment.

On the topic, I dont think the nomads need that. Maybe instead of dreaming about such things, the existing ones should be fixed. You know, the gunboat, the bomber (its really light), the marduk, the irra and in short 80% of the tech. No OPOP but something that will be scary and yet balanced.

Also, Keepers (now K'Hara, no real difference)

Keepers =/= Khara =/= Das Wilde =/= MyLittlePony

A lot of the keeper players are gone. The new nomad faction have new goals, new RP and new language. The only "no difference" are the ships that are nomad tech.
So really you and others with bad ecounters from wilders or keepers...leave them behind and start giving examples with Khara ...ups...maybe you didnt had bad encounters with Khara players and that is why you continue with the "old keepers op lol gank" stuff here?

I recall only 2 encounters that I was given /l1 /l2 and was attacked - both in Omicron Iota

In Omicron Iota...if a nomad give you wall of text RP would be great for you. But still going there in super sectred space, swarmed with thousands of nomads and no communications to your friends and home, vulnerable to mind control and ...you know its in Rp a suicide.

When I was a Keepers player, I don't remember one single occassion that I fired upon any player unless it was part of a RP (usually took more than 50 lines or so).

Perhaps we have never met and perhaps you met with players such as this. Still, it would be better to stop posting false accussations covering every player. I was not the only Keepers player who acted like this as well. In fact, there were quite a lot of us.

First off. If you want to quote me? do it!. Do not make up BS and quote that in my name. It is lame, and childish.
Second maybe i never met you. But on 5 occasons i was killed by a Nomad BS without a single word of RP, and 1 time while i was undocking. Since these were only 5 times i ran into a nomad as i do not fly in Nomad space, I can safely say 100% of my Nomad encounters were OORP turds.
Now i will admit i have not met any since the new leadership, so they may have changed. Sadly I no longer play any order ships but a lone fighter, and i stay away from Nomad systems. there for i may never meet a good Nomad RP'r.
Still on topic i see no reason any group/faction/player or what ever should get anything above what the rest of the server gets. And that is what this topic was about. Do-able or not. I am, and always will be against special treatment to anyone over others. If admins offered me a BS with 10mil shields, and 50 class 10 weapons i would turn it down unless others could also have access to it. I hate speacial gear for spacial players, as IMO there is no such thing as 1 person better then another. If that makes me an arsehole then so be it.

It doesn't make you an arsehole, your particular telling style creates an image of such, which eventually creates a counter reaction of similar kind. Therefore, it is not childish, at least not while you write stuff this way on various occasions. It may not offend you but it may offend others, therefore, the quotes stay, so that it may remind you the things may be seen likewise from other perspectives, being offending while they doesn't seem so to the author of such posts.

EDIT: Please note that the reaction wasn't about your statements regarding overpowered / underpowered / specially treated players / factions or their ability / inability to do any roleplay whatsoever.
