Stupid nomads

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!

Stupid nomads

I just saw a cutscene where the president is captured by the Councellar (sp?). Then, Trent shoots the councellar and some sort of stupid facehugger-like creature comes out, which gets shot by the president. I suppose the facehugger-ish creature is the nomad...... But how on Earth can the facehugger-ish creature fly a starship?

See those tenticles.. thats PROBABLY how since if you scan a Nomad ship it says it looks more like it was GROWN than constructed.

you'll never see a nomad inside their ship, even though the ship is transparent..


..and I just wonder, where do I buy one of those?...

The Nomad ships are probably living creatures like the Nomads with the same purposes, infact the ships are also part of the Nomad species, and on the third time I played the last level I scanned a nomad ship, before then I thought the Nomad ships were comprised of mostly energy (Like the Taelons from EFC)

It most likely probable that the Nomad ships are an evolutionary step for their species to maintain protection of their master's systems. So most likely the vessels are somesort of nomad wiht the battleship acting more as a queen creature or overlord than as a combat vessel.

The nomads remind me of the Dredge from Titan A.E.

Nomads are the sad result of what can happen when you combine a stretch armstrong with silly putty.

To me the Nomads remind me of the creatures in James camerons 'Abyss'.

The nomads are a mix of Titan AE, The Abyss and The Invsion of the Body Snatchers.

To me, they look like a headcrab...

As for the nomads, if the battleship is "grown", how come they were being "built" in the Rhineland shipyards? Seems confusing to me...

You have a point - the Rhinelanders were *bulding* the ships.
