That Nomad adapted guns are crap is already known fact. Use Death Hand Bastets instead.

Edit:
M stands for Mega.
It looks like that it would stand for mega... something. Then K would stay for mega-something and K is given to the additional number to not to spam with 100000s and so on.

These are prefixes, not units
Edit: whoops, but 1000000000m is ridiculous

Even our Cruise engine.
Still not sure why these weapons should be better.
Flying at the speed of sound is alien technology? Uh.
Actually, cruise engine is somekind of warping technology, provided it is just minutes to travel around in the system under Superluminal speed.
350 m/s is not anything remotely special meriting nomad origin. We have airplanes that fly faster than that from years ago
RE: Adapted Nomad Weaponry - jammi - 05-07-2015
See my last post. For trade lane infocards to make sense the unit of speed isn't meters per second.
RE: Adapted Nomad Weaponry - Fluffyball - 05-07-2015
That's why M aren't meters and K are just thousands (to short down numbers)
1K = 1000
10K = 10000
100K = 100000
1000K = would be 1000000
Whatever unit is that, definetly it's not meters. As I wrote already, I'd search for answers around Light Seconds and Light Minutes - but this doesn't also meet, as 1AU equals 8 Light Minutes.

I now wish to note that M and K in-game have nothing to do with reality an where. It just doesn't add up. Still is an interesting topic though.

Yep, K is just for thousands. But it WILL grind me what M stands for.

How can you travel faster than light in lanes, if, as I remember, there is no thing which can move faster than light?
RE: Nomad technology and distances in Sirius (renamed) - SnakeLancerHaven - 05-07-2015
As Shizune said, Jumpdrives, Cloaking and such things aswell as Warp Gates already existed way before, in Starlancer. Some ships were even able to open a wormhole for a couple of secs for long distance jumps. Jumpdrives were already build inside the ships system, something like the current mk2 Jumpdrive which yoi can only jump 2 systems away from you.
For those who dont know, the Alliance vs coalition war you saw on FL intro was Starlancer, well Starlancer takes role even before the intro.
