5 Surprising Things the NOMAD Does Better Than You Think!

Описание: The Consolidated Outland Nomad is the ship most pilots underestimate until they fly one. In this Factory Service Manual, Dusty Star digs into five surprising reasons this small hauler punches far above its weight. From smart upgrades to cargo tricks and combat tests against ships twice its size, this deep-dive proves why the Nomad deserves a second look for pilots who want freedom, flexibility, and a ship that feels like home.
