Nomad Weapons

I was wondering if anyone else has this annoying problem: I've only been able to pick up ONE nomad energy blaster and that's it!
it is as if you can only get that single one cause it sure seems like they're not dropping more and I would SURE like to get my hands on the laser they have
If anyone has any help I'd be much obliged

You can't get the Nomad Laser unless you edit the weapon ini files. The nomad Cannons and Blasters are a random drop. Keep killing nomads and you will get them. I got 7 blasters and 10 cannons like about 45minutes.

Gawddamn, that's a lot of weapons!!! Iøm not very clear on that but isnt changing files considered cheating? If not I'm all for it! I need those gunz!!!
Would you mind elaborating, benevolent dude?

I'm not sure exactly how to edit the ini files. If you check out the documentation at lancersreactor.com , i think that should get you started. I know a guy on my server who changed them to be able to be dropped. I haven't added it to the server though cause i haven't hada chance to make sure they work correctly. I know it has something to do with the lootable field in the ini file though

My dear Sith, if you didnt tamper with the ini files, how did ya get the canons? ;D But aight....I'll look into it, many thanks for your advice

The reason I want them isnt for their value, just for their kewlness factor, there are VERY few who have them on my server and their fire looks awesome too I can't wait to get them actually....once again, thanks a bunch!

The cannons drop normally..they fire slower than blasters but do more damage. But they do drop... both are dropped fairly often in omicron gamma..thats where i found them at least.

Hmm...I've killed tons of those little blue feckers and the one time I got a blaster is on the first one I ever killed. Since then not a single one has dropped, very odd and weird and so on...but if you say they drop I'm gonna trust jOO hehe. On with the slaying...

Nomad Lasers and Thrusters don't normally drop (like never unles you edit the file).

Nomad Cannons and Blasters are Class10
Lasers are no class and can be mounted anywhere.

Jsut goto the unknown systems and they will drop like crazy. And don't use weapons that have explosions!!! They wil destroy the nomad weapons

Morbo

Aight, FINAL question....how can I tell if the weapons I'm using have explosions? This is what I have Equipped (maybe you can pinpoint a weap I should DEFFY not use): Diamondback (lvl 10), Guardian (lvl 10), Onyx (10), Nomad Blaster (10), Buckshot (9) and a Kraken Turret (lvl 8)

If one of these is a perp lemme know and then I am TOTALLY ready to get weapons of my own
