In my experience it depends on luck about whether you get the nomad weapons are not. I read on another identical thread earlier that when the nomad ships hull starts to get low don't have all your weapons firing because sometimes that blows them up. About the missles thing, I don't know. If i happen to be wrong then please feel free to slap me with the fish of your choice (preferrably a largemouth bass).

It also depends on your level. if your less than level 34 they hardly drop anything

If I had a nickel for every time someone told me that my idea of building a giant robotic parrot out of melted down coins was a bad idea, I would have one kick a$$ giant robotic parrot.
