so... nomads going to have a base?

[Tinitus]

I would think mostly metagaming against Wilde transports and the fact that it would be nearly impossible for a group like the Wilde to keep it supplied.

Dunno about that cause I never tried to supply one. But arent there more nomads and wilde together than there are... I dunno... DSE? It would be challenging, sure. But isnt the challenge the thing that makes games fun? In my opinion having a goal like that would be more fun than to fly around spamming ***RP*** at people without any other goal. Many players who think being a nomad is boring may feel the same.

Theoritically wilde and nomads should collaborate on exactly that: getting stuff from humans for the goals of the nomads.

Not to mention some lolwut cap comes along and pops the base.

We all gotta take our chances on that.

And this is ignoring the whole you need Nomad parts for the cloak.

As far as I know the ID ninja-reps you back to full green every time you land (or die). So theoretically, you could get those parts more easily than anyone else. Ok it would be weird to shoot your own kind, but hey... nomads wouldnt be the first. Black Widows do it. Ant and termite colonies do it. Territorial chimps do it. Humans do it. Shark babies eat each others up in their mother's womb, and the strongest one is the one to survive and get born.

could be possible with outcast help... but.. Even with My Oracle? they wouldn't work to reproduce ..essentially Nomad tech. Possible? sure.. making sence? nah.. not really.. that and cause recruitment been so slow Im not in a rush to make my oracles into smugglers and traders..

Nomads are.. Rply self sufficient. I mean we plant a powercell and grow all manners of things via stellar dust. So no.. we just wont use it.

What you are saying there is in absolute contradiction to freelancer lore.

In Freelancer lore the nomads were totally dependent on humans to build their ships (rheinland ship factories), and used humans with the help of "infected" or "possessed" indivuals to do their work for them.

Nomads could be stronger now, but that doesnt mean that they cant make use of the same tactics again. It would actually make sense if they did. Isn't that what the wilde are all about anyway?

I also dont want to pressure the dev team to create a totally different system for little old us either. The current system works its just not for us.

Gotta agree on the cloaking. Nomads should be using it more than humans. Especially if they fly around in house space. But I thik the devs intended it to be difficult to get a cloak, so that not everyone and their dog has one. And as far as I can tell... it IS possible for the nomads to get them with the current system. At least I havent seen the contrary so far.
