The likelyhood of getting a Nomad to drop his guns seems to be tied to your level. At level 35 I once had a Nomad drop a single gun, after killing about ten waves of them. At level 36 I was getting at least one gun from every wave. At 38 almost every Nomad is dropping a gun.

Now that's just odd . I wonder if it's some other factor than just your current level that affects Nomad drops, like some kind particular or combination of faction ratings? All I know was when I was first trying to get them I had no luck, but eventually that luck turned around permanently and I'm waist deep in the things every time I shoot a Nomad. I had just assumed that the variable factor was level based on my experience and the other posts I've seen in this forum.

None of the ~15 nomads I have killed have dropped any weapons for me, and I'm also level 38.

Make sure you're not blowing up the weapons with their ships. I've had it happen to me a lot. Deliver the last blow with just one or two of your weapons instead of the full shot pattern.

Ohw, it's just a matter of luck & your level. The higher your level is, the higher your chance is to get a blaster or cannon.

But it's just luck if you get one. I even got two out of one ship once, but I also had the situation that I had no loot for like 8 waves.

I am aslo a bit curious about something else. When I play SP, I don't get any loot from them, while I do when playing MP. Does anyone out here had the guns while playing SP?

yeah.
actually i almost smashed the game because i didnt get any nomad weapons at first in multiplayer unlike in singeplayer where i got them out of every 2nd wave.

untill i noticed that you need about level 35 minimum to get them...

Now, I have noticed that I get fewer Nomad weapons around the Omicron Alpha unknown jumpgate than I do around the Omicron Gamma unknown jumpgate. Perhaps you should try there. And I have noted other say that the Nomads always come in groups of 4. Well I have been attacked by a group of EIGHT on a couple of occasions. I got killed. So go to planed Crete and save your game before you go out there.

i got my first nomad gun at lvl 32 (actually found a lot at that lvl). i think that 32 might be the required lvl to get nomad weapons, seeming as theyre lvl 10 weapons and you need to be lvl 32 to get a lvl 10 ship to hold lvl 10 weapons. confused? i am....

Level requirement for a level 10 ship, for the Eagle at least, is 30. I just bought an Eagle with my lvl 30 SP character last night and equiped him with level 10 guns. Maybe the Titan has a level requirement of 32?

yea i the required lvl for the titan was 32, then i bought the others after that so i assumed it was 32 (my mistake). so i guess its 30?

Agree on blind luck. I got 2 from the 2nd Nomad I destroyed, and then no more from the next 20-30. So go figure.

Cool - I feel even more jammy

I run into Nomads for the first time the other night. Fortunately for me there were some other Corsairs engaging them. I got three Nomad weapons from that first fight, and got another three from the next wave. Then I messed around at Planet Primus and got another 6 or so (more waves required this time of course).

I can't believe I can only seel them for 4000 credits or so! You'd think these things would be worth a fortune. Admittedly I haven't tried taking some to a Liberty base (or any other of the core systems) for selling, but then I'm not sure whether prices for sold weapons vary like commodities do (I have to admit I've never paid attention to that aspect).

just my personal experience, could be completely coincidece, but it seems for me that ships are more likely to drop things when u kill them slower and they fly by themselves yellow for a bit then blow up, as opposed to blowing up directly from your bullet
