Level 10 shields & Nomad guns...

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!

I've been able to get the Nomad guns, but I've got no way of mounting
them! I'm using a Titan currently. Is a Sabre (for example) necessary
to use Nomad weapons?

What's the problem? You should be able to just unmount your current level 10 weapons and mount the nomad weapons in their place. Then you can sell those other level 10 weapons, or keep them if...well, if you feel too powerful with the Nomad weapons or something.

I am flying a titan with all you can get, with 2 nomad guns...

and i am only level 35 so it can be done.

If you want to get some weapons fast from the nomads, then you just fly into the system with gammu and planet primus. This can be found via the omicron gamma system in sector f2. I shot down a total of 25 nomad ships and have got 4 energy blasters and 2 energy cannons. Piece a cake.

But did anyone ever get a nomad thruster??? I believe they are the best, seeing that they fly pretty fast.

They can also be found in the Omicron Gamma system near the old corsair fighters and the unknown jumphole. That's where I got mine. : )

I was Level 34 flying an Eagle with 2 Salamancas, 2 DIAMONDBACK, and 2 SILVER FIRE, and I bribed the Corsairs so I could buy a Level 10 shield and use their planet as a base. It's hard enough fighting Nomads without Corsairs attacking you too. I earned about 2 weapons per 4 Nomad fighters destroyed, and eventually I decided to arm with 4 Nomad Energy Cannons. They are very slightly more powerful (damage per second) than the Blasters, and I just mounted missiles on my Level 9 hardpoints. If I had wanted to use two level 9 guns I would have chosen the Blasters because they have a more compatible rate of fire. The point is not to use explosives like missiles and mines on Nomads. I never salvaged a weapon from a Nomad that I had hit with a mine.

I'm gonna use what's left of you to grease my ship...

Also, I don't think using just one weapon to kill the fighter will matter. I used all six weapons the entire time and very rarely (maybe two or three times) did I get nothing from fighting the nomads.


Well, it depends on when you let up on the trigger. When I'm fighting multiple
bogies I keep firing until target blows up, and that means some shots are still
heading that way. When it's the last bogie & nothing's on my tail I got the time
to finish him off almost surgically, which is probably why I only get gun from
last nomad. I use 3.03 RFR Class 10 guns; faster shots = extra shots?

Never tried mines/misssles on nomads.
