SUGGESTION: Gun Turret for NOMAD
Could you please include a TOW Rocket launcher and/or a Gun Turret for the NOMAD
Forum Discussion
True, but as an Upgrade it should be possible due to the unexpected hostile nature of the environment
The problem is it is an escalating arms race at that point. You can't have JUST the nomad armed, kett and outlaw factions would also start arming up their vehicles, then at some point you have a pathfinder on foot armed with small arms trying to take down a tank, and it just gets ugly from there.
I agree the nomad would make an awesome weapons platform, and it looks like there may have been some initial artwork of a nexus vehicle with a turret (possible early nomad prototype?) , but I could see why they might get reconsidered too.
Somewhere else in this forum I have also requested NPC vehicles.
This is of course not GTA, but some sort of that would be great.
But even if a gun can just be purchased as an upgrade for the Nomad it would be good. ME1 also had a vehicle with a gun attached.
I don't want to get out of the car simply because there are 3-4 enemies at a location that I have already raided a billion times over and over. You should be able to "drive by" them :-)
ME1 also ascribed a penalty to experience gained if you killed something with the Mako's cannon versus on foot. This led a lot of players to game the system by bringing things like thresher maws down to 1% health with the cannon and then jumping out to cherry-tap it to death for the full XP reward.
Not having a cannon just sidesteps that problem, in part for the Remnant Architect battles where you'd think if you had a tank cannon on the Nomad it would be ideal to do most of the fight with that versus on foot. Then it wouldn't be as much of a challenge.
Hahaha...... I did not know the penalty / Threasher Maw thing in ME1.....
Of course best thing would be to have a gun on the NOMAD and Motorized Enemies to fight, but if this is too far fetched for BioWare to consider a simple gun turret would be fine for me
