Excuse me, Tank is right. 3 class 10s and a torp slot. Thats pretty nice. I might use that.
I am a long-absent Supreme Commander, Executive Commander, Grand Admiral, Fleet Admiral, and Captain in the mighty Hellfire Legion. I have returned, and am on an urgent mission from Drake Thastus to return the Legion to its former glory, and to claim the galaxy for its own. Only then will I be able to rest.
RP Story (Still deciding whether or not to finish)
Yeah about that nomad fighter......I've noticed that the nomad fighter(player version) is an incredible pain in the butt to take down. It has 14800 Armor, Class 10 Shields, 3 Class 10 Slots, Torp, and incredible maneuverability. My one friend on my server has one, and vs. any of my VHF or LF, it just completely destroys them. Since it only has 3 weps i can see the class 10 slots, BUT class 10 shields and more armor than a titan???? my only question is why? Maybe it's my lack of experience as a phenomenal pilot, but no matter what i use, short of a gunboat w/ turrets, I cannot take him down. I know he's not hacking or cheating and such. I tried slipstream, but it's shields just can't compare, and it crushes my sabre and raven talon for maneuverability. I personally think its a bit over powered, considering, except for weapons, it has stats comparable to a HF with LF maneuverability.
The nomad fighter can be what is, but its still a nomad fighter. Dont have any style.
Better is the slipstream, who is beautiful and cruise fast. Put it on turret view when on cruiser and take a look.
I have, i'm not talking about looks, I'm talking about stats and numbers. Yes i like how the slipstream looks and how the no fighter looks, but looks don't get you kills......
Nomad Fighter isn't overpowered. It only has THREE Class 10 gun slots, and nothing else. Even if you went and didn't RP at all, and got a Colada, and two Codenames, it would do less damage than an ordinary fighter. Even less than a Wyrm. Those who probably will be getting the fighters will be people RPing as Nomads (I do..) and they will have 3 Nomad Blasters/Cannons. And let me tell you, it is a pain in the arse to kill anything with that little firepower. Can't even take a sliver out of the cruiser shields firing non-stop, which you can with a nomad cannon.
The increased defenses of the ship are to make up for the lack of firepower it has.
Dab is right, the name of the game here is "RP".... soooo who is going to be flying a Nomad fighter? Hint: blue and slimy. Anyone else better have a damn good RP story to back up their "purchase".... "YEA LIKE I WOZ FLYING THRU O-DELTA CLOUD AND A NOMAD FIGTER WAS SITTING THERE THE PILOT WAS GONE AND I STOLE IT PWNZ0R!!!!111!!!1!11!11"
What was I saying? Yes thats right, being a Nomad ship you'd expect it to be l33t, but inaccessible.
Ok, in a RP environment, it is unlikely that you will be able to backup your story for getting it, other than " I was burning hull thru nomad space, and found a group of monkey people. they thought i was their savior and gave me their most prized possession." I'm not arguing about the weps or the shields. I know how little damage/sec they do. The problems is, you can't get back on them. They can stay behind you, so that little damage/sec eventually starts adding up. It's the speed and maneuverability that i'm concerned about. I've proved this in MW4, you can have the lightest mech in the game, and as long as you have one decent gun, against anything but a drop ship, you can eventually kill them because they can't touch you.
btw. why would you use codenames when u can use solaris....damage/sec isn't as high but with refire ratio and projectile speed, you have a greater chance of landing more damaging shots.

This is true of course, but you could make the same argument about any zippy little ship or LF. Or even VHF vs. a capship or whatever.... "Hey this Titan can easily out-maneuver my gunship. It's not fair!" Is the Nomad unbalanced? Possibly. Bear in mind the L.10 shield is a LF shield, and it can't carry a torp (can it?).... Technically Nomad is a LF with a really strong hull. Maybe the turning rate could be lowered a bit. (but keep NPC Nomads as they are, for the challenge:)

Why indeed? Personally I don't like chainguns.... I think they're unbalanced and not cool, although some people swear by them. And with a high fire rate I reckon they contribute to server load and lag. On the downside, you have to keep the fire stream on the target for some time to do any significant damage. As for Solaris, their energy drain is way too high to be useful on a fighter.
Man, the Nomad Fighter is really good, but Onca and Dab are right, you would only use it if you were role-playing as a Nomad. Even then, the Nomad character I am going to be creating in the next week isn't gonna fly a nomad ship at all, Its going to be a Possesed Brentonian GB captain and how he uses the Captains influce to manupulate things and wreck havoc.
Yeah it can carry a torp, my buddy uses 2 Solaris, 1 Colada, 1 Swarm Missile Pod. And yes it's a LF shield, but that LF shield only has ~900 less than the HF shield. The class 9 LF has 3000 less than the LF Class 10. Yes, the titan can outmaneuver a gunboat, but the gunboat is carrying about 10 massive turrets that can fire in any direction.
The solaris....yeah they're a bit on the xtreme side. I'm fine w/ the damage, refire, and energy ratios, but the range and projectile speed is insane.
