It could be like what old normal scrap used to be for Junkers, but with better balancing I'd hope. If it was placed in somewhere like Iota, it'd create ambient activity in the Nomad home system and provide incentive for factions like Core and Order to raid (Iota has always been incredibly empty).
Dude, that was my thought as well! Make some RP commodities for nomads and create a practical use for them - like, growing their ships...or food for themselves... or God knows what.
And imagine a human group stumbling onto one of their mining operations... that would be like stepping onto a hornet's nest and they could really become pissed!
Even a nomad POB project, like building their own hives (maybe smaller ones) and humans getting a shot at them... that'd be epic as hell.
