the best way to defeat nomads does anyone know it

If you are stuck in a mission and do not know how to continue, this is the place to ask for help. Missing that elusive Level 10 Shield? Don''t know where to find the lost Ohtori ship? This is the only place where spoilers are allowed!

Fast firing lv 8 or 9 cannons is how I got my load of Nomad cannons. I had 2 lvl 10's in my Sabre already but disabled them when I went after the Nomads. You need fast fire so you dont want a power hungry lvl 10 firing. Especially when 3 shots from a nomad can reduce a lvl 10 shield to nothing, hen just 2 shots for your hull

I got luckly and had 2 waves of 8 ships in each, the first wave each ship droped a blaster or cannon, the second only 3 did but left me with a nice set of weapons

If you intend to actively hunt Nomads, I suggest that you get, as others have said, powerful fast-firing guns. I also suggest that you exchange any guns/turrets you have with high *shield* damage for ones with high *hull* damage: the Nomads don't have shields.

It's better to burn out than to fade away
