Yes, but nomads are supposed to use resource ships/stations, not sure how they expand/take over systems. also, how do they start (base yard to make ships for instance). So they need some kind of start facilities). space-borne education/training facilties, etc

My head hurts: adding some Cascor weapon tech

Every race gets a home planet to start with...
What the pirates & nomads do, is take their little mini spaceyards on escorts and set up bases to build/refuel/repair/scrap/analyse their ships at.

I hold zero hope of getting a decent Nomadic or Pirate AI. They'd just attack the nearest warship instead of waiting cloaked for a juicy unescorted transport ship.
