Yeah, that's why they blow up the stars (i know it's not freelancer canon but for some reason it's disco canon so yes) and freeports, infiltrate human societies and provoke wars, and when it fails, just come and start shooting.

Nomads are aliens who want to kill humans, and the whole "rebooting" thing in disco makes no sense. "Nomad goal isn't clear", who cares, people aren't going to even think about unless it's some outcast heavily on cardamine.

That wasn't the Sirius Nomads that blew up Sol, different Nomads. Sirius Nomads woke up over 400 years later.

The freeport was blown up to prevent the artifact (tinker toy) from getting into human hands, and giving them a tool capable of killing millions of Nomads.

The infiltration was to learn at first, and then to take back what was rightfully theirs from humanity, then, the humans can be uninfected and returned with no harm done.

The wars were humanities paranoid and wrong doing. Nomads don't want to kill Humans, if they wanted to, they could have gone on a crusade and destroyed every human-inhabited planet, which is 97% of the human population in Sirius.

:secret:
Turrets have hitboxes,
hence easier to hit with stuffz,
just to make ur GB a bit bigger.
and wut if they make real nice turrets?

Nomad turrets have hitboxes too, and can be subtargetted, they just have no model or texture off the Nomad boats.

You missed my point. I was saying that the Nomad GB turrets are perfectly balanced on your big heavy gunboat. The extra damage does seem to perfectly counter it's lack of forward firepower (though, it can fire all five backwards, which I'm sure is nice and does have the hardest-hitting [I think] GB FWD Gun).

Putting them on your KU Gunboat or RH Gunboat is getting 'free' Cerberus turrets. Which is a HUGE advantage in a gb vs. gb fight. Especially on the lighter GBs like the KU one (which still has a FWD Gun to help friendlies take on larger capships at range, or just provide a bit of extra "burst" damage in a fight vs. a gunboat.).

Uh huh. But a pulse-razor gunboat still beats Wild gunboats pretty much every time. The Kusari gunboat is too light and weak to do GBvsGB battles, and the Das Wilde use mostly pulse-razor on their own Rh Gunboats.

And besides, Wild Gunboats having a slight advantage is nothing new, they're supposed to be scary.
