Not enough CPU to get this off the ground now. uses >493k CPU vs 200K Available. I spent quite a bit of time trying to make this work. Really wish I would have just chosen something different.

Hello Jeff,
I have modified the NOMAD once again. This time is all xeno blocks with plenty of thrust and armament. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3099955299
Come play with us on Fractured Server!

Hello Jeff, i have modded your fine NOMAD once again.. Thanks again for this my favorite CV.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2871806674

Does the game allow for upgrading ships by blueprint? I saw there is an ST Variant out there , i presume technological inferior. Can one therefor later on convert that ship to this one here or does one need to farm for a complete new ship? Still new to the game, so sorry for asking propably basic stuff.

Was my favorite cv wondering if this is still working after
latest update. Would love to keep using this CV in current
game.

is still working?

Hello Jeff, i just updated your excellent NOMAD again. this time I maxed it out to be a POI killer:

Thanks for all your stuff.. its a blast to mod... Rootzij

Lightforge,

Thanks for the heads up I was about to spawn it in my game soon. I agree it is a very nice design but I will have to go into creative mode and make it CPU compliant and if there is a demand for this ship and the original creator doesn't mind I'll post the redesign in the workshop.

I gathered the materials, waited for it to build, spawned it in. WOW looks great.

Filled it up and BOOM the whole cargo bay is suddenly a buckled mess... it not responsive and has no CPU. Assume the generators overloaded somehow? What state was this saved in? I do NOT recommend this ship.... Time to rip and the drone and grind up this massive ship that cant fly... :(

Hello Jeff I did a heavy attack version of this CV for RE.. I love this NOMAD.. it was a good design! My new version: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2645335154

No, thank you. I tried to "do you proud".

Thank you Idle_Groot, very cool. I saw on the screen shot it even had a guard rail like the XT. I will have to take a look at it. Thanks again!

Hi Jeff,
I've done a reforged, Heavy Lift version of your Nomad XT.
I did everything I could to keep your exterior lines but I had to widen it by 2 blocks, and make it 1 block taller to to house the 4 Drive Thrusters for 5G operation. The inside is Very Different from your layouts, but I hope you take a look, and give me any constructive feedback you might have. PM me if you could.
Thanks for another timeless, awesome ship.

Thank you all!

Hello Jeff, Wiggles and i updated the NOMAD XT for Reforged.. I did the inside and Wiggles did the outside.. I've been wanting to do this for a LONG time since it was my favorite CV since i started in V8.. good day, mate.. Rootij/Wiggles

Would love this guy to get a upgrade to alpha 11 :) its a handy mobile base

I wouldn't want to take on the Kydex-GT in my Nomad :) I've added drills, an artillery turret, and a pair of rocket turrets to the Nomad and it still can't take on CVs with shields. Also upgraded the thrusters and still coming in at 1.4M CPU ... and that hangar! You probably want to update the link above, the A9.4 version is T1 and comes in at 0% CPU efficiency.

Thanks Kaffeekuh! I have not updated either Nomad ship. More than likely, the Nomad-XT would need it's very CPU expensive RCS removed. 1 of those RCS cost a huge amount of CPU in which the ship should not need any at this time. The problem is, these ships were built long before CPU and flight model, weights and volumes, shields, etc. They did once work well, but so much has changed in the game now. Do to so many changes, I made a number of new starter and mid range CV's that deal with everything much better now. Like the Wayfarer-St, MCRN-Pioneer, and Kriel-Shade. All new or updated and ready for A12. For a mid range ship somewhat similar to to the function of the Nomad-XT, the Kydex-GT would be sorta close, also A12 ready. Thanks again!

Hi, i let the Blueprint spawn and you XT have 5,2Mil. Allocated wtf ?

Thank you Payden. I will check it out. Thanks again!

Updated my version to A12 ... just can't find another CV that works as well for me :) I usually run with the Pioneer then upgrade to the Nomad when I can afford it. This one is at T3:

Thanks hankberube, Apollyon, StuB0b, and Apollyon! @Apollyon, thanks! I will check it. @hankberrude and StuBOb, I personally have not updated this ship or the standard nomad yet, however, that other version linked hopefully does the job. I been updating some creations, but I have far to many to try to keep updated and many designs don't update nicely depending on a lot of factors. For starter CV's and such, I have made a few new ships as of late which will all work in A12. One of the biggest issues with updating the nomads is finding a home for a 3x3x3 shield when space is tight. This ship would need 4 CPU tier 4 blocks added before it can work again. I haven't really looked at it to much thou and maybe it needs thruster changes and power changes too. It also has an old storage system. Basically it is pretty out of date and over 2 years old now. Thanks again all!

@StuB0b Because its outdated. Try the link I gave below.

Generators blew the second I turned it on. ALL of them.

@hankberube: Currently, there is somebody in the workshop who's updating these older builds. Maybe he/she gets into this some day.
Also, did not try tho, but found this: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1947639977
It says 11.5 alpha version, and it has CPU upgraded, so probably work with A12 as well.

is this going to be update for a12

That sounds very good, I will have an eye on these. I already know the Wayfarer-ST and will test the Kriel-Shade when it's ready. Thanks for the tip and keep up the good work @jrandall

Thank you Thorwine and Apollyon! I do have a new starter CV I should be releasing soon, The Kriel-Shade. Not the same faction thou. After that one is out, I should have at least 3 working A11 starter CVs, one for each race I been doing. The Wayfarer-ST, MCRN-Pioneer-T2, and the Kriel-Shade. All 3 have slight differences in farms, storage, and turrets, all are shield ready and upgradable to Tier 3 and unlock level 10 no rares. Thanks again!

I agree to upgrade this ship and some other from the best of jrandall designs. But right now the continuous game updates make the designs obsolete very quick.
The best would be only one update for a ship, but when the game finally reaches its final state, so no more wasting tons of hours from jrandall's valuable time.)

Hey jrandall, thank you for the reply! I already thought so. It's sad, but I can understand. I will keep an eye on your new creations, coming with A12. Maybe you will design something similar in size, unlock level and resources in the future. Best wishes and take care! ;-)

Thank you Thorwine! I am not sure on this one. I fear to make all the changes from A9 to A12 with storage, flight model, CPU, etc this one could take longer than practically building a new ship. However, I think it is possible. I just have been so busy with other projects, and have a ton of ships that need updating, IDK if I will get to it. If anyone wants to thou, send me a link here and I can add it as a modded version on the post. Thanks again!

I'm still in love with the Nomad-XT. Returning for A12 now, but unfortunately it seems there wasn't any update to the ship yet. Do you plan any, or is the Nomad already on the junkyard of history? If so, could you please recommend a similar ship of your creations, that is up to date for A12?

Thank you Bleys Albion and xAWxCubancigaro! @xAWxCubancigaro, I can imagine. :) Thanks again all!

This is an amazing ship. Used it in a lets play a couple years ago. I'm Currently trying to rebuild it in Space Engineers. That is tough as they don't have as many shapes to work with and the conveyor system is needed.

Love this jrandall, I updated it with some 11.5 stuff and it's a superb CV.

Thank you **Asa** :)

Just an amazing ship! You don't even need a base !! I have 4 mid sized SV and a hover and Still have room for 2 more. Thanks jrandall for this piece or art <thumbs-up>

Thank you markis007v2, Thorwine , and Syrex! @Thorwine, I will get to it at some point. I need to rework a fair amount for the storage, and then I haven't a clue where I could fit a 3x3x3 shield (or spare room for it). I would have designed it for that if a shield was in existence when I made it thou. I am sure one way or another it could be done, but space is tight. Thanks again!

a thing of beauty for the cost. Thanks

Is there still hope for a rework of the Nomad-XT during the current A10 season?

Love your work. I spent the majority of my time living in your ships while playing Empyrion.
Of course with all this time spent living in the Nomad XT I had to update it for A10.
This is my A10 version of your fantastic workhorse and my go to ship for most journeys.

I hope that you like it and perhaps you can use it to update your Nomad XT to A10. I know that for me Empyrion wouldn't have been the same game without it.

Thank you very much darkmore9 and MillerKing12 :)

Pretty nasty design

This is the CV I used for my A8 play through and I loved it. It was perfect for me in both size and function. Now I'm back for A10 and happy to be playing again.

Thanks jrandall for the work you've done and all the designs you've given us.

Thanks Goel and Thorwine! @Goel, sorry I mush have missed your comment. I will have to take a look at that. Thanks for the heads up! @Thorwine, I will be going thru older creations and getting many updated. I will be taking a look at the Nomads too. Thanks again!

Will the Nomad-XT get any Alpha 10 Updates? Shield for example, or maybe cargo controllers? Just asking before I make a BP on upcoming A10 servers... thanks in advance and keep up the good work @jrandall

Great ship, like all the others in your series.
A small note though: you either forgot or intentionally left out a group of thrusters for enabling/disabling by the "Thrusters/RCS" Lever Signal.
Thank you for the good work :)

Absolutely loved using this for my alpha 8 playthrough, fantastic build all around. Made some modifications to personalise it and had an absolute blast. When I came to play alpha 9 I decided to make my own mobile base inspired by this build, but smaller. Would love it if you could check out my Vagabond build and let me know what you think. Thanks for the inspiration and the amount I learned from your builds!

Thanks jonfuselier. Yeah, someone else was saying the same. Crap. lol. They used to all work. I will have to get some time and take a look at them. Problem is, there is a lot of them. lol. Thanks for the heads up. I will try and get these updated.

it must be something eleon did lol
