NOMAD LAZER

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!

NOMAD LAZER

i want to find it but the stupid nomads dont give it
i saw it when scaning the cargo of a nomad fighter in the unknown in omicron gamma. it does 2000 hull and 1000 shield damage

That laser is not possible to get.
The only two things u can get from the Nomads are the Energy Cannon and the Energy Blaster. Those two are not easy to get either, 1/8 I think somewhat made a calculation that they drop. (Theoreticaly ofcourse..)

THe weapon u are talking about are. again, not possible to get.

kool.. 1000 damage.. well.. that didn't do much damage to my defender when i was mucking around with them.. much less to my anubis.. 1000 and 2000 indeed... no, you can't get that.. and the probability of them dropping for me is about 1/4 thats the nomad lasers and nomad cannons.


This is currently registered with the FAA as a glider, and according to FAA records, it has no engine - which is technically true, if you ignore that large rocket in back.

10x dude i know about the lazer but those lazers are very strong
is there a possibility that there is a nomad base or something in perhaps some 3rd unknown system?

Post Thu May 08, 2003 12:19 pm

Kimk: The Nomads got 6 cannons on their ship, maybe u wasnt hit by all 6 at one time? THat would then hurt your defender alot.. ecpesially when they come 3 or 4 at a time.. BOOM, and that defender is gone. (The defender is a good ship !)

There is only 2 Unkown systems and the Nomads got NO base in Sirius. Atleast not in the unMODed V1.0 of Freelancer. (No mods this far that have addded the Nomads base..)

You can only get the Nomad Blaster and Nomad cannon.Also it seems it depends on level as to whether they drop them or not

A little damage output math, and those lasers don't look so great, anyway:

Nomad Laser: 1956 hull dmg x 1.00 refire = 1956
Nomad Blaster: 635 hull dmg x 4.00 refire = 2540
Nomad Cannon: 847 hull dmg x 3.03 refire = 2566

Personally, I find the 2.0 refire rates on the c10 codename weapons to be awfully slow; but 1.0?... bleah.

Hmmm looks like there was a Nomad City or summat planned. (Looks at more dev screenies)

There actually is a way to get the nomad laser, but you have to use the Nomad fighter mod. The fighter is sold on Manhattan, is very cheap (about $1000) and comes with 4 lasers, which you can hoard, and then later put them on another ship. The lasers don't use any energy, and I think you can mount them on any ship. The lasers can also be mounted on turret and CD/T hardpoints

It is possible and without any mods, .. I just got the Nomad Energy Cannons and the Nomad Energy Blasters from the nomad ships...here's the stats... and they rock because they use 0 Energy };-)

NOMAD Energy Blaster -- Class 10
635 hull
317 shield
699 range
600 proj speed
4.0 refire
Energy use 0


NOMAD Energy Cannon -- Class 10
847 hull
423 shield
699 range
600 proj speed
3.03 refire
Energy use 0


You can find them near the Unknown Jump Hole at 4F in OMICRON ALPHA
Also, if you go through the jump hole it goes to their world... (which does radiation damage) -- you can stay in there about 10-15 min or so with full hull nano's in stock...(with the titan atleast)... all I found in there so far is their fighter escourts and fighters... and one sun... they hang out in packs of 4 }:-)

Let me know if you have any questions...and these DO rock BTW };-)-- I just found this out about 4 hours ago and have been haveing fun every since! };-)

Get 4 Nomad Energy Cannons and 2 Tizona Del Cid, and u will rock. THe TDC will shreed any shield in the game VERY quickly and the 4 Nomad annons wil blast the enemy away. (Some people use other combos but mostly they use 4 Nomad Cannons)

I am rather annoyed about the titans turret - usefull only for "hey, look, it ****ting glowing stuff, dude!
