Keepers Beta Test 1 - Lohingren - 11-20-2007
well i don't think the kill everything thing is so bad for a nomad clan as long as they dont leave the places that nomad's are, this would include. kappa, major/minor, 90 MAYBE gamma and alpha gas field but no further than a 15k radius full circle i would probably make it less more around the 10k radius. all in all where you see a nomad thats where they fly, where you dont see em dont fly there. now people may think that its a terrible idea making a complete hostile faction but if that term is met it would make travelling through them systems just that bit more intresting to say the least. if you enter unknown just as you do with a fighter etc you do risk being attacked from nomad's why not let it be done with player's being the nomad's also. could be classed as pvp whoring but i would call it self blunder if you are killed by them. i like the idea i would personally love this one to work it would bring forth a whole new rp horizon throughout sirius.
now do not get me wrong what i have said isnt completely full proof things need to be fine tuned etc but all in all if they stuck to these and didnt go looking for fights i think it would be fine.
i hope it does work.
and i dont think phantom's should probably have such a treaty phantoms would maybe try to reason with the nomad's but i cannot see any such luck from the nomad side of thing's, especially if they have dealing with other human's i would suspect them to fire on sight just like any other specie's but i could be wrong thats just a opinion of mine
EDIT: just a idea and a very basic one at that would need some touching up. you could add into your RP that you are trying to reopen the hyper gate in someway so you can let forth the rest of your nomad bretheran that is lying in the deepest darkest reaches of space, now i know that the bold trent took the thing down but i doubt that would stop the already existing nomad's from trying to do such. the keepers could be a hierarchy of nomad brain's kind of royalty brain's of some sort that are able to control the nomads as a collective. probably silly sounding idea's but some none the less

I'll have to agree that this could bring a lot of nomad-hunters to the area. even my gunboat is on FP11, but i'm not exactly there to just shoot at anything that looks like a nomad, but more to check out what's going on, and maybe to interact with the keepers in any way that doesn't mean a slaughter. Curiosity brought me to freeport 11, not revenge. i'll only fire in self defense or in defense of the station, as any zoner would do.
If there's no real storyline, well, there could be the challenge of making one up, basing it on the fact that nomads were actually left behind by the Dom'Kavash, also the war should have changed things for them, and i think as an advanced sentient species, they should be able to evolve further than their programmed behavior of "kill'em all".
How about a "mind control" ability that would render a human pilot unable to control his ship? or force him to "do things"?

' Wrote:I had an idea a while back... Would convince Nomads to possibly have a permanent (so to speak) cease-fire with the Phantoms. Well, you know how the C'Tan are to surgical and genetic geniuses, right? Well, its not out of the question for them to mutate a Nomad Fighter to be a more effective combatant when out on its own. In exchange for this help, Nomads would stop firing at Phantom ships (not necessarily help) and give Phantoms access to "brain-less" Nomad Ships...
Ok i like this idea, i will put it forward to the Faction members,
Cheers
' Wrote:I was skeptical at first but I think things are coming around. My only real problem is the ridiculous response by defenders. I see some keepers in Delta, I grab my Nepthys and fly to FP11. There I find a horde of BSs taking on a single Nomad LF. I tried to have a fight but the lag was ridiculous and the Keeper was just trying to evade anyway. I call Jinx for report and hear that Keepers had only brought two GBs earlier. This capshipwhoring on the part of the defenders is just stupid and not fun. Furthermore, its seems that other players, not the keepers, are the PvP whores here. Everyone wants to have the Keeper Kill show up with their name after it. Bleh!
Anyway, I think some restraint needs to be had on the community's part when engaging Keepers. Just my useless two cents
Monk i agree, i was on RD and saw 30 people in Delta and only one keeper,
this should be addressed later.
Cheers
' Wrote:as long as the keepers can RP in ways other then killing everything, then it will work.
simply must find ways to do that that wouldn't be out of character.
I hope to have some role play interaction with them at some stage, not just fighting them.
From the reports i got Blackheart you have role played with them and have been Killed:P

' Wrote:I'll have to agree that this could bring a lot of nomad-hunters to the area.I was considering for the longest time, long before the Keepers came up, that when I made a purely non-faction character that it would be an Order aligned Nomad hunter who might sell the valuable debris to make his living.
This just makes me want to do it even more.

Something to think about, is ways to roleplay a nomad infection, i raised it before. seeing as that is a major part of the SP campaign, maybe there is a way to integrate it into a faction.
otherwise, good luck with the faction!

Indeed I have! but that was when i was only a zoner, before my RP story kicked in. more is yet to come but nomads are a primary part of it. every encounter with them (3 or 4 now) has so far been just pvp, which it doesnt have to be imo...
