from what i have read you must be at least level 30 for the nomads to drop them. Also some people say it depends on luck, as for me I say it depends on your level. I have a level 51 character on elite that gets 1 nomad gun for every four nomads i kill.

level 51??

On standard a server you need level 34 and above for them to drop with any regularity, elite is using the beta patch with higher levels for players so should be higher still.

Yes, lvl 34 to get anything, if u are lvl 35 u will get the cannons instead of the Blasters. (they are much better IMO)
I gets the guns with nearly every ship kill, 4 come, and I goes away with 2 or 3 guns, there 2 are cannos and 1 Blaster.

I don't get anything but cannons ... I have level 38 in 1.0 no mod no hack, no nothing ... i went 2 times and shot down in all about 10-15 patrols of 4 nomads each

If you are higher than level 34 then almost whenever you leave one of the two mystery planets (gammus and primus i believe) there will be a group of four nomads attacking the docking ring of the planet you've come from (at least it always happened to me).

You don't have to be level 34 to get a Nomad reception committee after launching from the robot and ape planets.

On one of my favourite servers you start on Planet Gammu with a Starflier in the standard loadout (including class 1 graviton shield and 3 batts/nanos), and the Nomads are always waiting at the docking ring.

The level-dependency of Nomad gun drops is patently unfair, though. It is more difficult to kill them if you are level 30 or lower, so why is there only a reward when it is actually easier?

level or rank doesn't matter in mp. you just have to shoot them from behind. i get 2 or 3 for every pack i kill when shot correctly.

so in mp it doesnt matter and in sp u have to have a high level
