Something many tend to forget about: Nomad thruster. It's also classified as nomad tech. In addition to weapons and brains there are thrusters and energy cells. If that was a gcorp character (bounty hunter destroyer) killed a while ago in Delta while being pursued by TBH battleship ("Velasco" if I remember correctly) it did have nomad weapons in hold. Matter of fact we would have let you go and attack your pursuer instead, but you choose to have those weapons and plead in system chat not to kill you? If that was your character of course, but judging by that pair of "battle razor" reference I assume it was you. Currently you are not on the hunt list, as matter of fact there is nobody on it yet, but few are getting dangerously close, it was found they were carrying over fifty nomad brains of various types and continuously returning to nomad systems to hunt more, to me it rings a bell, and if it keep goes on we'll hunt them beyond our systems, such activities we can "afford", but so far have refrained from using.
Here is the list of what is considered a "nomad cargo":
Nomad Energy Cell
Nomad Energy Blaster
Nomad Energy Cannon
Nomad Turret
Nomad Cruise Disruptor ammo (can possibly be looted by killing a Keeper character who uses Nomad Disruptor)
Nomad Thruster
Nomad Brain
Minor Nomad Brain
Superior Nomad Brain
Obviously includes nomad lasers and nomad disruptors too, but those are not publicly available anyway.
So we make full scan till we find at least one occurrence of aforementioned items or find none. If target opens fire while at it we will open fire in return. If target in visual range attack nomad NPCs we will do no scan and attack straight away. We can cruise disrupt to scan as well as we have to go through all equipment pages and some people have too many things with them. Some open fire straight away and we kill the target. We can scare off target as well by shooting out shield, however most unlikely that we will chase. Like said: traders are the least concern. Keepers is what I call a "terror police" faction, neither police nor terrorists but having elements of both entangled into behavior and roleplay with many self-restrictions in place in order to maintain their role properly within the Sirius. A fairly new concept in Discovery but it fits Nomads so well due to their wide spread across Omicron sector. Controversial in design but it has proven to work well within the environment and has certainly added extra edge of mystery and threat to "edge worlds", something I believe Discovery has been missing in there. For example Delta system hasn't been quite popular but has seen influx of players in there since the start of the faction, at one time half of server was in here, something that normally applied back at that time mostly to New York. So just don't think that you can run rampant around nomad systems on a destroyer or even battleship with or without nomad cargo, lack of nomads in cargo bay it does not make you untouchable on that kind of ship. Say what would RM do if Das Wilde fully armed cruiser suddenly appeared in Frankfurt, a threat so close to home? Those capital ships make us nervous when we see them, we go purple and blast them out (so many humans at one ship!), statistically they are priority and go down first too. A human fully armed capital ship is a threat, make no mistake. A trader battleship is a nonsense.
