Just because it's fictional doesnt mean it has to be so unrealistic that it's obviously wrong and impossible. I'd rather play in a somewhat logical fictional universe than in a stupid fictional one.

but I dare you to bring one good reason why nomads should need humans to supply their cloaks.
Duh? Did you play the single player?
Because that's EXACTLY what the nomads did there. They used humans to build their stuff.
Ok obviously you didn't play it or you have a VERY selective memory, so let me remind you:
The nomads built their Battleships with the help of Rheinlanders (and probably also with the help of the infected libertonians and kusarians). A lot of them were probably infected, but most were probably just following orders and had no idea what they were actually doing.
And would you like me to explain why the nomads, and not only nomads... but also you, me and almost everyone makes other people do their work for them (everyone except the people who live alone in the forest cut off from civilitaion, actually)?
Even if it's not impossible to do yourself... you make others do it because it's more convenient, and faster. Why plant weet, harvest it, mine some coal, build an oven, and bake bread, when you can just buy it in the supermarket? Same applies for nomads. There are billions of humans and dozens of planet economies. They mine, they harvest, they refine, they build.
All the nomads have to do is apply a tiny bit of trickery towards a few people, and they will have hundreds of thousands of humans working for them without knowing it.
Yes, it is a LOT easier for nomads to get stuff from humans than it is for them to do everything themselves.
Jan_Peters Wrote:If nomad cloaks should require fuel in the first place can be debated upon,
It's very gracious of you that you will allow debate on whether nomads should be able to cloak without fuel which basically makes them invincible because they will never run out of the fuel that they don't require.
Jan_Peters Wrote:"It can somehow be done the way it is" is not a reason.
It's a good reason for everyone else, except the nomads?
Why should nomad players have it easier than everyone else? Because they are so cool and l33t and better than everyone else? Maybe they should spend less time thinking about how awesome they are and how they should get more stuff for free, and more time thinking about how they play they game and fit into it IRP?
