Nomad Carrier ship?

[Zero755]

Of as an explination for their use of Jump Gates, the Nomad gates can perhaps send ships anywhere within a certain range. That would explain the Gate in O Minor and the construction of one in the Wilde system. Then when they do deploy ship they would be sent out with the supplies and understandint that they would either have to fly back to a friendly Nomad system, or to the other gate.

Even if they do, there is a precise range they have been deploying their existence within. We should look for the reasons beyond. Nomads are always connected to their core controllers and under the effect of telephatic manipulation routed by the use of Nomadically constructed brains. Basically, brains are processors for them, which they use to communicate with each other over distinct locations and in alternative frequencies such that even gaps of light years distance is attainable and undetectable till they want it revealed. This way they obtain an established network with their instructors which is essential for their existence. Core controller could sound as a quite dubious term. As to what keeps Nomads and their cloisters as a unit, an unknown era is existant to any human being, therefore we could at best refer to symbols instead of exact terms, till we grasp a better understanding of such a superior set of species.

Remind me again how blue starfishes are superior species?

Sorry just had to say it...

Simple, because they are capable of disillusioning you to think that they are simple blue starfishes.

Perhaps, the range of travel is limited by the overall conciousness that controlls the nomads. (Kind of like a Borg thing but with a range) And therefore they cant send ships beyond the range of the controlling entities. This would explain why there is a heavy Nomad prescence on the East side of Sirius and none on the West side, because the west side is beyond the range of the controllers

While what we are contemplating about is still a discrete mystery to all of us, their existence zones as you say are the only reasonable data so far we might rely on to base our predictions upon. But still, something makes me feel that they are, in contrast to our expectations, much more evolved as of controlling and dictating distant space frequencies than our basic estimations about the subject.

So are you suggesting that they are bening crontolled from deep space, beyond Sirius? If that is true then why have they been biding their in the Omicrons and not expanding? They tried the subtle approach in the Nomad war, but if they have this ability to make massive fleet movements as we have suggested, then why do they not simply plop a few battle groups in each of the house capitol systems? There has to be some logical reason as to why they havent invaded and killed off all the humas in Sirius.

[Othman]

They might be. I'm not saying its a truth. It stays as a feeble possibility for now. And maybe they don't see a need to expand as they are already efficiently capable of travelling distances in short time. They do however provoke responses occasionally but the reason why they do not spread their activities in a wider array is unknown.

about the nomads so called superiority. - there is hardly evidence of that. - they are superior to the humans as a virus is. - they are a parasitic lifeform to humans. ( a virus can wear a human down, - but a virus is by no means "superior" - the very opposite... its a very simple organism ) - indeed a creation of a race that "might" be superior - but that depends on how to measure superiority. - the singleplayer only teaches us about their superior understanding of technology and biology - but it tells us little about their social capabilities and other factors.

from what we know - nomads are different - but superior is very much in the eye of the beholder. - a common stereotype of humans and aliens is... that aliens are often more intelligent when it comes to technology, but humans are far ahead when it comes to adapt to a certain situation.... something that those high tech aliens often have trouble with - dealing with a totally new situation, changing their ways and countering enemies that act in a surprising and not predictable way. ( those are just common stereotypes though )

nomads are telepaths - but they must be, cause they don t have the ability to speak ( in lack of a mouth/voice organ ) - they appear to be rather clumsy in their true form ( those jellyfish like thre tentacled blobs are rather vulnerable )

....

then there is the singleplayer. - the way the nomads acted wasn t "stupid" - it was cunning and sneaky. - thats not something you d expect from a "normal" parasite. - they had a plan, a complex one even - and they realized that they could not just overpower the humans ( - for the matter of that idea, we should forget about the extended trailor )

their way of thinking is .... surprisingly human. - either that, or they gained those characteristics while possessing the human minds.

so i d say ... superior, no. - different, yes. - and to get back to the original question / topic. - a carrier type ship is not really necessary, i d say. - since the nomad in spaceship form becomes a lifeform in its natural enviroment in space - long journeys will not hurt it. ( humans need means to shorten their travels, cause they are a lifeform in space which is a hostile enviroment - humans measure a journey as a process from start to landing. - nomads "live" in space. ( at least the ship-shaped )

well, thats my theory anyway.

Speaking of jumpgates. Actually that might be interesting to some that in upcoming version there will be "unusual" jumpgates, once went though might never return back the same way...
