So I finally played through the singleplayer

[Akura]

biomechanically engineered blue aliens who were trying to destroy humanity.

It's funny because you're wrong.


The Nomads were created, yes, and they're more versatile than humanity, biologically speaking. But they've evolved to a point where their minds went beyond what their original intended purpose were. This is why I personally think the DK suspended them and left.


Secondly, the Nomads weren't trying to destroy humanity. Not by a long shot. That's Order propaganda designed to make people hate the Nomads.


Ignorance.


The Nomad's plan in Freelancer was engineered to avoid any violence or death, if possible. The Order's way of returning this was to kill hundreds of thousands of Nomads, without question or mercy.

He's no better than Stalin or Hitler in my opinion. Genocide isn't a viable option when solving any problem.

Perhaps heheh but you do realize this all just a game eh? I'm sorry, I have to check, in case you might have taken the Nomads to your heart a little too much ;)

It's ok though but just don't lose sleep over any of this as nothing in a video game is worth disrupting your life over.

Now, as for Trent, he's an excellent pilot who seems to everyone's lapdog. Darn dude would have been a Grand Admiral of an entire house fleet if he had a little more self esteem and much larger measure of his own worth. That being said, if Trent were here on Disco he would have been sanctioned on his first day, sanctioned again after his immediate return, sanctioned yet again after he returned from that and then banned permanantly as a hopeless repeat offender after that. His carreer would have never even come close to lifting off the ground if present in this community and man kind would have been overrun by the Nomads at the conclusion of the Nomad War.

Chat box doesn't work in SP so Trent would have been sanctioned for no RP.

Then why did they start wars between rheinland and kusari and liberty?

Their way of avoiding human deaths?

Elephants noses are more versatile than human noses.

Doesnt mean I value an elephant life more.

[lw'nafh]

Nomads are awesome )))

I could actually run down the list of logical fallacies and use the bull-crap-o-meter.

but

that would require effort.

It doesn't matter if he does what every NPC says. He got the job done.

You have to earn money to advance missions, MJ.

Get wrecks. Only takes about two to level in the campaign.

Try completing the SP campaign in a Starflier with 4.84 enabled, it'll keep you busy for weeks.

I'm not going to start an arguement with you over how the Order are actually a far worse group than the Nomads, or that the Nomad's goals have always been unknown, even to this day.

It's an unfortunate tale, the aliens are mistaken for hostile, and in a miscommunication, they tried to stop them, and ended up turning them into the hostile monsters that they feared.


People are flawed, I think Disco is a clear-cut example of that.


And Nomads are designed to adapt to any situation. They're also essentially immortal, especially after they patched up that nasty problem that caused the Order to beat them back the last time. Call it their "Death Star Weakness".

I tried to play with an LN Gunboat, but one mission needed me to land on Cali Minor to finish a mission. Problem was it used docking rings and the mooring fixture was disabled.

Actually, Decerberated, technically the actual shooting and violence began from the human side when (individuals at first) began realizing they got infiltrated by aliens. Now there IS another form of violence that began before the actual shooting started. Although a few people do argue against this and it can still be debated but the Wilde are representative of the Nomad violence that began before the actual shooting started. Taking human hosts, I consider as others do, is a violent invasive action. Especially when the host dies which has been made cannon lore. The host dies due to the severing and replacement of three upper vertabrae by the symbiote. There's no coming back after that. The conventional idea of War, however, began from the humans.

When the Rheinland Expedition came and woke some of the Nomads up? It was all rather shocking for both sides I think. xD

Only if the incubi is removed against it's will. So humanity has still found no way of removing a Nomad from a host without killing them.

The Nomads can detatch the incubus and the human can recover with no ill effects in a short span of time. Infact, those cases the human will have gotten off better, as the incubi would have most likely assisted in curing things like arthritis or cancers or brain damage, during the infection period.
