The Nomad appreciation thread

I liked the Nomad, bounding around in no gravity on the asteroid was fun. Just wish it had guns.

Love it too. Only gripes: Some environment it cannot climb like the mako did, and the jump is so low even upgraded (not that you really need it). I love the design, and gull-wing doors. Very slick machine.

Note: Just doing Vetra's mission now and loving the low g environment. Also Cora and Peebee sure go at each other (Peebee lives for rubbing the wrong way)

I think its a blast to drive, but its just so damn ugly in some areas compared to the other initiative vehicles. And while walking around it in the tempest it doesn't seem that it could fit a human much less a krogan inside. Also wish there were different tires for the different planets.
But seriously the front is just ugly, and the big chrome wheels that have teeny tiny bolts just look out of place to me. Not to mention the suspension design...

But I do like it. It just doesn't feel like a space exploration vehicle, I liked the Mako design and the vehicles at new Tuchanka.

Definitely more fun to drive than previous vehicles. I miss the armed nature if the original mako though.

Nomad was good indeed but i hope they give the poor sod a gun in the next game.

I really like it but I wish I could use it more. I still can't figure how to go up hills with it and if it can't do that, I rather just walk. I walk everywhere 95% of the time.

Once upgraded, it became drive-able. Still can't turn worth a shit, at least when using kb/m. And I am almost positive that no matter which forward station I port to, I am always facing the opposite direction from where I want to go.

Scaring the passengers with my driving skills is pretty fun though.

This made me chuckle a bit. Whenever I draw near enemies, I know I have to eject ASAP, since two to three seconds of light arms fire will blow up the Nomad. Playing on a Insanity really is a different experience, in some ways.

I love the Nomad. I liked the Mako, so I figured I'd love the Nomad even more. Many say it needs weapons, but I can understand why they elected to not include them. In terms of gameplay, why would anyway get out and fight, if they could sit in a tank and blast all of those assorted camps? I really enjoy all of those fights, but I think even I would be sucked into blasting 10 dudes with "the main cannon", if it were an option. It would be too efficient to resist.

I can tell that the "35 seconds airborne" trophy will be the toughest, for me. I can't seem to keep that thing airborne for more than 20, low-G or not. I need to git gud at floating.

They could try giving the vehicle a missile launcher like the batmobile (in drive mode) but with limited ammunition so you would still need to fight on foot sometimes.

It's possible to do it on that destroyed planet but i guess you need all the thruster related upgrades (haven't done i myself).

There's nothing to appreciate.

I like the Nomad. It handles better than the bouncy castle on wheels called the Mako (which, FYI, I loved). In fact, when switching to ME1, I find myself trying to accelerate. Definitely a feature I like.

Yep, I love my Nomad. Seeing Red is definitely my favorite paint job.
