Domkvash Vs Nomads (in Mandar) :O

I'm not OP Uncle, but yea, completely normal. The DK's loyality to you once you have earned it via the GMG quest is higher than the Nomads, therefore Nomads are flagged as red to the DK. (which is greatly welcomed there sometimes when a large Nomad wing or Nomad cap ships show up)

somehow, Nomads and DK are no more allied and shoot each other.... probably it has soemthign to do with what happened in Dervon with the ancients....

What if the DK were protecting the Ancients but the Nomads rebelled and wiped the planet from its inhabitants while the DK were fighting their war in the Core... DK might have decided to take he Nmads as hostiles. May be Nomads took an advantage of the poor position DKs have in the galactic crisis to declare their independance.... may be its what crippled the DK so much... their enemies (other Doms) sided with the rebellious Nomads... we dont know and for sure it will be developped later in upcoming CF versions 1.9 and 2.0 (or simply in the regular news but i totally have no clue....)....

This is PURE speculation and nothing is fact based so only TIME will tell us (or OP, cause OP is space, time and all existing dimensions....) !

may be DK think that coalition is too different from the colonies of Sirius to be trusted and they keep seeing them as unworthy and nuisible.... Coalition never looked to be the good guys anyway

The DKs created the Nomads - funny, it would be more interesting and logical if the DKs would start to attack humans again when nomads are in range.

really?
the choice between killing a mindless slave or a worthy ally

Humans are also her cus DKs eliberated and abandoned some colonies to give a chance for other 'life'.

While nomads are just their dogs... coalition like their bad kids and still, their full power is against the outer galaxy aliens, to protect themselves, and their kids (us ) xD.

It's what you can read when you're docked in IC.

they are not that mindless if you take the FL story - think of the overtaken humans which was the most powerfull of their factions - if they was their slaves it must have been the plan of the DKs (just a mind game ofc.) then.

A single ally for a fleet of obedience slaves... well, would not be that hard to think of, for the DKs, if you ask me - also it would put the Players into trouble because of their reputations to the DKs "shall i defend or run?!".

May be DK first sent the Nomads to infiltrate us and attemp mind control to transform us into slaves, but like you know it has failed ! DK might have used their wisdom and got the following idea : "may be just asking them would be a good way !"

if your faithful guard dog bites your new best friend when they come to visit...
you yell at the dog, and convince them (sometimes by blowing their ship out of the sky) that this new person has proven their loyalty.
(killed enough ancients to make the DKs love you)

as far as the coalition is concerned...i highly doubt they have bothered to head all the way to Dervon and kill ancients. they seem to stick pretty much to coaly space.

Yes. giving a shi... buggy life to Coalition, the bastards who made the alliance flee of Sol, now alliance got it's control again more or less...

Just a thought...

I wonder what ppl would think if they saw a squadron of coalition ships in the Dervon system...

i'd ask them for their hall passes.
