SPOILERS I'm at level 30 with a level 10 ship (Sabre) armed with only level 5 weapons (6 Dragoon, Type 2's and an Angelito Mk I turret). I decided to try to score some level 10 weapon drops from the Nomads that hang around the "unknown" jump point in Omicron Gamma (Yes, I visited the "Planet of the Apes." Very amusing). I must have killed 20 of them before I ran low on money for repairs on Primus....and never got one drop. Just how rare are these drops? Or am I too low in level to get them. BTW, if you want challenging fights, take level 38 missions from the Corsairs (even though, I killed a zillion of these guys, I bribed them so that I could get access to their very nice weapons. They love me now. Of course, the Red Hessions now hate me, but who cares....I've already got the Sabre). You find yourself up against ace pilots flying high-end ships, armed with high-end weapons. They really jink around on you. The fight are really harrowing and it took me 20 minute or so per mission (my low-end weapons didn't help any). Great fun.....and I made 120k for one mission alone (only did two because I didn't want to screw myself up too badly with the Bounty Hunters).
