the nomads and other stuff
In Omicron Alpha, through the unknown jumphole, there seems to be absolutely nothing in this system apart from one star, Yet several times i've been in there and every time nomads seem to "pop" up from somewhere, surely their not coming from Omicron alpha, although hang around lond enough near the corsair ship graveyard and 4 nomad fighters will turn up to have a go at you.
Has the game just been programmed that the nomads just materialise or are they actually coming from somewhere I have'nt discovered yet?
Also i did a scan of a nomad ship last night as i flew by at cruise speed, And they carry some serious weaponery, Lasers that do 1956 hull damage, 978 shield damage with a 1 second refire rate and none energy usage, they have 3 of these and 2 energy blasters causing 847/473 damage.
But how come they can't be picked up once you destroy the ship?
Is it because the ship is organic and thus so are the guns?
Also considering when you face the nomads in the Anubis which has at best a shield with 4000+ power, Why is it you manage to survive so long considering the above specs of the guns.
Even now with the Sabre and advanced brigadine shield which is more than twice what the anubis had, I still lose all my shield batteries in a firefight with 4 nomad ships, I can easily kill the nomad ships thanks to the "classified" class 10 guns i have but within a couple of shots from the nomad guns my shield vanishes.
Were the previous nomad ships faced in the anubis actually weaker with regards to their gun power, etc?
Thinking about the nomad guns and the 3 different shields available graviton, positron and molecular, Considering the brigadine is a postitron shield, It would make sense that the other 2 types of shield would fair better against the nomad lasers.
Maybe i'll do some experimenting and see how the other shields react to nomad guns!
Thx for listening and sorry if the questions asked here have been discussed before.
Only just found this forum and i cant be bothered to read all previous posts.
