Nomad Weapons

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!

X ray jets? X ray is not visible. Those are plasma streams.

I've been through the unknown jumphole to Nomad land and killed tons of them with main weapons only and I can't seem to get them to drop anything at all

Plasma ??? Hmmmm could be - but then again... It's definately X-Ray....

Have a look at this link -

That'll explain it.. - I know you cant see x-rays but any high energy event can affect the surrounding area of space, other gases, particles etc... Yes you cant see X-Rays directly but you can see their interaction on their environment!!!!

why do you want those weapons, they are pretty sucky compared to other lvl10 weapons like Cerberus and Diamondback

-You should clone yourself!
-Why?
-So you can go **** yourself!

I much prefer nomad over the diamondback and the other weapons of that sort

the simple fact they done have an energy use means you can use them for far longer rather than running out after 3 seconds of use

DJW, you're hopeless... True, black holes emit strong x-ray radiation but not visible. They're detected using radio telescopes (I'm not talking about fiction now, this is real). As for "affecting the surronding ..." No. X-ray does not affect anything (nothing visible anyway), the only way you can see it is if it has red shifted (caused by gravity) into the visible spectrum, but by then it's just regular light, not x-ray!

The matter jets are caused by the exteme pressure & heat generated at the centre of the black hole (like if you squeeze a ketchup bottle real hard ); matters are ejected at a very high velocity beyond the event horizon (if within the EH then they're not going anywhere).

Go read an encyclopedia.

actualy if you scan them you will find they have 4 nomad lasers, 1 nomad energy blaster 1 nomad energy cannon and 1 nomad thruster
(the thruster is the same as the advanced thruster just with a diferent name)
