Secret items and stuff

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!

Secret items and stuff

I just started the game 2 days ago, and so far I only found one "secret". There was some nebula or dustfield so I flew into it, and then about halfway into it I took some radiation damage so I kept going farther in and there was some busted ship, and I shot it a couple times and some guns and drugs came off it. I sold the drugs for 15k, (ALOT of money back then, I only had 3k). I also got 2 guns that were really good for their level.

Problem is ever since then I have been flying into asteroid fields, nebulas, gas fields, whatever there is in the system, and I cant find anything. I look at my ALL radar and never saw anything special. Are these kinds of things really rare or something? Or am I just not looking good enough. Any tips or suggestions?

I know I don't have the power, but read the sticky that says "Spoilers in this forum are NOT allowed!" If you need to post something that reveals a secret, please use the spoiler forum.

Oh, btw, welcome to TLR!

Ribs, Welcome to TLR. What your asking falls under the heading of a spoiler, which is alowed only in the spoiler forum. You need to look there. There is a sticky at the top that will answer your question.

I'm not asking for the specifics, I'm just asking if they are super rare and for some tips on finding them.

We get what you're asking Ribs. But just like they said we're not allowed to answer you in this forum. You obviously understand how to post a topic, so you shouldn't have a problem doing so in the spoiler forum.

wooosh off to the right forum

OK. Now I can answer you. Yes there are more wrecks with guns etc. out there you just have to look for them. If you want to find them on your own without someone telling you exactly where to look then I can give you a hint: Pay attention to patrol routes.

As you progress, the harder the system, the harder and tougher the weps

To speed up the process, set yourself a series of waypoints in nebulae/asteroid fields, and use Go To on each one. Then, open your Nav Map and watch that, as it can detect wrecks from a lot further away than your radar display can

The Flint has 20 Cardamine, which is worth $30K on Planet Manhattan. BTW if you want to save time there are wreck lists available. Some people prefer to find them on their own, though.

Nomad weapons are known to be tracted after having killed Nomads ship, but the weapons are dropped 1 time on 20.

I found a way to increase this ratio

it look like these items are easily destroyed when just finished a nomad ship.

How to? (SG and MP)

When you meet a 4 nomad group: kill 3 of them quickly (use you Canonball class9 if you want), the less time they shoot at you, the better is it.

When there only the last one, shoot at him, slowly, in order to stop fire a little time bedfore it blows (<10% hp), then, finish him with only one weapon, the weakest you have, and finish him shot after shot (trully waits the last shot had joined the Nomad before firing an another one).

U'll have a dropped Nomad Energy Weapon Class 10 nearly each time!Enjoy

But this is not the Nomad Laser

Indeed, if you scan a Nomad fighter, U'll see it wears Nomad Energy Weapons, which you can tracct, and which are a little better than the others Class 10
AND, it wear "NOMAD LASERS" too, and these are those which blown a half of an Class 10 shield per shot. And I don't know about these one.

Yawn Nomads drop all the time.
