Outcasts got some big > bux too, but then again you have to whup on the BH or GMG (corp) guys. Yeah, the Outcasts also sell the Sabre....unfortunately, they hate me (killed a bazillion of them). Still don't know if Nomad drops have any relation to player level. Nevertheless, when I reached level 33, I started getting Nomad drops fairly frequently. Maybe, I was just unlucky when I tried it at level 30. Atm, my Sabre armed with 2 Salamanca 2's, 4 Nomad blasters, and an Angelito 2 turret. I've experimented with the heavy-hitting Guardians (that you find in Omicron Gamma) as well as the Nomad cannons in various combinations. Still haven't decided what I like best. Got to start searching wrecks to see what other level 10 guns are out there. I've been thinking about giving the Titan a try. I've heard both good and bad about it. I like the Sabre for the firepower....the turret can fire forward so I can bring 7 guns to bear on targets. OTOH, I haven't found a level 9 turret yet (and there are no level 10 turrets...even though the turret slot is level 10??). Well, actually I found a Salamanca level 9 turret....but can't remember where (didn't have the money to buy it at the time). Have to search all the Corsair bases for it. Yeah, I figured out it would be a bad thing if the BH's were hostile to me. When I want to earn money I take Corsair missions at Leon base in Omega 41. I can usually get 90k missions there.
