Nomad Storage Depots

Just found a Nomad Storage Depot while doing a survey here at Sekar. I located it by visually searching. If you highlight the text on your instrument panel, everybody and his dog comes for a piece. Love the way the music changes as you draw close to it …...

Quote from The Original

ahhhh... thats the BS upgrade depot...

Sorry …… "BS upgrade depot ……" . BS can mean only one thing ….. B*** S*** ? Now as for "upgrade and "depot", with a lower case "d" ………. well ………. . However all's fine down here with me ……...

It seems "Nomad Storage Depots" are an enemy infiltration into other non-friendly sectors. Non-friendly to Nomads.

Quote from Ajay

Okay, I'll clear some things up.

These depots contain an item necessary for installing an upgrade onto a Battleship/Dreadnought class ship. Those are either:

-Cruise speed buff (to 600)

-Shield capacity and regeneration buff

-Reduced Battleship Torpedo Launcher cooldown time.

They can only be installed in multiplayer. In addition, they change their location each restart. However the depot locations repeat sometimes, and if you have mapped a depot it will be mapped if it appears there again.

Nice one Ajay. I had absolutely no idea what it was about. But that's normally the case with me. Ha! Actually I've just giving it a grid reference …. 3F in Unknown 3 ….. in the "System Info' " in the about to be updated Map, but its probably moved by now. Ha! Love it! As I said if you put a WP on it everybody comes, and normally gets there before you! When you say "mapped", is that, as I say, put a WP on it"? I did that actually. From 50 metres away. Ha! Shot at it but it dropped nothing. Probably because I'm in SP.

Thanks.

wombat1940 I can be mistaken, but I have feeling that we talk here about two different things. One is "Nomad Depot" and second Nomad Storage Depot ... this first is special and contain ship upgrades (in multiplayer) and second is common depot with 1-4 containers which are many and contains few commodities usually. How exactly is name for thing you found? Nomad depot image is in wiki link in my previous reply here.

I didn't know about the Nomad Depot and it certainly wasn't one of those. It just said "Storage Depot" but the text was red and something tells you it in Nomadic. I thought it was important because the background music in the game becomes very threatening when you get close. In this case it was a useless steel fabricated portal with no tanks. But gees! It got shot at by everybody around me so I left. The Storage Depots with the tanks I have picked up loot occasionally.
