Heh, just played through SP recently, for the first time in a long long time, and when someone (Orillion?) described the Nomads are parasitic beings, of not just humans but of technology, I couldn't help but think that they must not be so different from humans after all. :D
Drake gets 20 star filled cookies for hitting the nail on the head
yes, he is right. and the majority of the community is RPing humans and their disputes. So don't think many will seek to understand the nomads or what made them angry. There are some players who RP researchers, scientists who really care bout those things. (i used to rp one myself, hence the disappointment).
