No its not lag......it only takes about 5 or 6 shots for nomads to tear you apart....note that the nomads you fought in story mode were not fighters
these are and they are immensly powerful.....i brought this same subject up before and i was told that fighting them is easy if you know what your doing...you need to fly really well in order to dodge and be accurate..get weapons that do tons of hull damage becouse nomads dont have shields.
stock up on batteries also you may need them. (use a saber its more fun)

Even with the strongest shields, those Nomad ships can knock them down to nothing with just one or two hits. Only way to survive is NOT to get hit.

p.s. I'd hate to fight them in a Titan. You need a ship that handles fast, like a Sabre or Eagle. The Titan is too sluggish to dodge the Nomads.

Thanks, I thought that may be the case. Remember I was also stationary when they appeared so I was probably a real sitting duck on top of everthing else.

Nah titan can do it almost as well sluggish as it is you just gotta pilot it really well....strafe etc...

Actually I have beat them a couple of times in my Titan now. You don't dodge as well but you do have the extra armor. I am going to try it in an Eagle and Saber now also to see what I like best.

One thing for sure is you cannot just slug it out with them.

I picked up some Nomad cannons doing this also. Am I not noticing something or do those things use little to no power?

Nomad guns drain no energy from your ship! That's why most players like to use a pair of them. They free up power for those Level 10 guns you probably are packing.

it has happened to me a lot trading on the server i use m8 they are good at draining your shields and hull it adds to the experience of freelancer m8
