Nomad weapons

Can you buy nomad weapons in freelancer online, or do you have to get a mod. IF you can buy them where. If you have to get a mod, which one, and what is the name.

you can grab nomad guns if your level 34 and over.. just shoot the nomads and sometimes they drop the guns. The ones that drop the guns are located at an unknown jumphole in omicron alpha.

I wrote a tutorial on how to enable all the nomad weapons to be bought at a base or planet. The only non-modded nomad weapons you can get is Nomad cannons and nomad blasters. You can get those by killing nomads in the unknown systems of alpha and gamma. The weapons you can't get without modding are the nomad laser, nomad turrets, nomad cruise disruptors, nomad torpedo, and nomad prototype. But if you must mod, here is the how to do it.

First you have to figure out which base or planet you want to be able to purchase them from. Look in the tutorial forums for a list of base ID numbers. I will use Planet Manhattan as an example:

Open up your Market_misc.ini and scroll down to Li01_01_base and add the following lines somewhere underneath:

MarketGood = nomad_gun01_mark01
MarketGood = nomad_gun01_mark02
MarketGood = nomad_gun01_mark03
MarketGood = nomad_cruise_disruptor01
MarketGood = nomad_torpedo01_rtc
MarketGood = nomad_turret01_mark01
MarketGood = special_nomad_gun01
MarketGood = special_nomad_gun02
MarketGood = special_nomad_gun03

That's it. Now you can buy all nomad guns at Manhattan. Go into your Weapon_good.ini if you want to change their price.

Now will this modding work on multiplayer?

Post Sun Jun 01, 2003 2:32 am

most servers don't allow modding so most likley the answer would be no.

Of course it will work in mp.

actually from my experience with nomads dropping guns- it's level 34 in alpha and level 35 in gamma.. if your below either of those levels they usually don't drop anything

I knew someone who picked up some nomad stuff at lvl 31 i think.

Nomad proto types are from the SP game. You see them when you escaping from Alaska(scan the Defenders).

You can pick up nomad weapons when you are lvl 30 or above. I have gotten them when I was just over lvl 30.
