How/Can you get Nomad Lasers

Fri Jul 30, 2004 3:16 am by Outcast 1-1 AKA Talon

Right theres 3 nomad weapons, Enegy Blaster, Cannon and Laser.

Ive only seen the laser on Nomad Fighters and a couple of Kishiro Hawks(???). But, its a very good weapon. So how do you get it?

Ive tried killing nomad fighters for it, but there was no loot.

someone tell me plz?

you cant there not scripted to drop in single or multiplayer. Plus there not that good, they hit hard yes but there refire is only once a second, where as the Cannon is 3.03 and blaster 4 so they do more damage over a second

How do you get Nomad weapons in general? I've killed tons of them and they never drop anything.

Ive killed them in the unknown sytem of corsair territory, like i said they take time but they do drop guns, just very rarely

Nomad Weps are better than most Human weps because they dont burn all of your power, and they do some pretty significant dammage. The refire rate is pretty good too.

To get nomand weapons:

1) kill nomands
2) some mods allow you to buy them from some places

Life is a bed of roses with big awful thorns

Ok, I went into the Unknown system from Omicron Alpha and capped at least 20 Nomads, and they dropped nothing . Not lasers, not cannons, not blasters. Is there any quicker way to get Nomad weaps? Because repairing my ship from radiation damage is starting to drain my cash(and my nanobots).

On a side note, don't you think the Nomads are pissed off that a single technologically inferior human is coming into their territory and slaughtering them?

online you have to be level 34+ before thet start dropping, but some nights they drop a lot, some nothing even if you are at level 34.

What are the stats of Nomad lasers? I'm just curious. Cannons are stronger than blasters, but blasters are faster than cannons. Is the Nomad Laser as fast as a blaster, and as strong as a cannon, or is it some kinda super weapon?

You have to be Level 34 before they start dropping? Thanks for the info. I think I'm only Level 31 or 32. Guess I'll have to do a few missions.

Online, a server can set the level required to get nomads. On most servers, nomad lasers are considered cheating.

Hmm. Well, from what I remember from my very limited nomad hunting, the nomads dropped an average of a weapon per 4 unit squad, so I could usually expect one cannon or blaster off a squad when scavenging in the outcast graveyard.
I find the Kishiro Hawks bit intriguing though. Where did you see them with nomad weapons ?

no the laser is stronger than the cannon but not faster......
i killed 40 nomads and got about 50 weapons why can't you get that and i can maybe it's luck

try freeport 3, nomad weapons are not considered cheating there.
