Consolidated Outland’s Nomad ship, a unique combination of unconventional design and no-frills performance. It comes with a 24 SCU capacity external cargo hold which is suitable for expeditions and long trips. The ship offers an onboard bed for extra security and comfortable laser repeaters. The Nomad prototype, which initially cost about 750 000 UEC, has increased in price to a million credits, primarily due to the development of hover technology to sustain the exterior cargo hold.
The Nomad is a convenient and versatile space pickup truck. It is particularly popular for Greycat Roc mining, fits multiple different vehicles, and comes with three weapon systems. It also features a tractor beam on a size one utility mount, which makes it easy to transfer cargo on and off its hull. It’s a comfortable and aesthetically pleasing ship to fly, especially for those interested in chilling mini cargo running excursions or rock mining expeditions.
The interior of the Nomad is clean, simple, yet elegant, equipped with a bed, kitchen, bathroom, and gun racks. It includes hovertech which allows it to levitate its landing gear, gives it a unique look, and is particularly useful for cargo. The ship has many useful features including three weapon systems, eight size two missiles storage, size one utility mount tracker beam, and a cargo space that can accommodate a cyclone gray cat rock. It’s an excellent choice for players who want to engage in non-combat activities in the Star Citizen universe.

here in the Consolidated Outland Pavilion they’re gearing up to unveil silas’s all-new Nomad a ship that couples a welcome dash of unconventional design with bare bones No Frills performance under the hood I had the powers that be at Whitley’s arrange some Hands-On time with the ship ahead of its release so I could go on a good old-fashioned Excursion for my very first glimpses of its Hull I’ve been bit hard by the travel bus he prepared for our trip Jimmy got intimately acquainted with the nomads 24 SCU capacity external cargo hold well done Jimmy over there were the other ones out here finally free of the shackles of civilization edible food and air traffic laws we were able to really Flex the nomads muscles watch this Jimmy Let’s test out these triple Shield Silas was going on about eight [Music] even triple Shields are no match for reckless flying remember that kids how’s it looking there Jim after sharing a few campfire stories Jimmy and I decided to turn in Under the Stars what was that Jimmy the onboard bed provides that extra level of security someone of my stature is used to and convenient access to the laser repeaters made me rest extra easy as our Expedition came to a close I couldn’t help but feel that I’d tasted true Freedom which coming from a person who gets pretty much everything he wants is saying something as I spooled up the Quantum Drive one last time I knew I’d return to civilization a changed man and that I’d never needed a shower so badly in my entire life development on the Nomad began in 2942 two four years before the release of the Mustang originally under the name Manta multi-crew accessible new transport and being led by Dr Charlotte Roland the original vision of The Nomad was that of a competitor to the RSI constellation spacecraft by 2944 the plan was that Manta would be a large multi-crew ship built with off-shelf components and requiring only its small Central cabin to have any real construction take place additionally coming in at a cool 750 000 UEC the kerners vision of low-cost competitor was in sight one significant cost-saving measure was an exposed cargo bay akin to Industrial haulers rather than a more constantly contained cargo hold however shortly after the launch of the Mustang Kerner would become more involved with the development process his first change the name favoring that of The Nomad given those interested in the ship the idea that they were able to strike out on their own soon after kerners increased in interest in the ship he would introduce more changes opting for a single seat transporter over a multi-crew ship this and other changes led to the resignation of Dr Roland which caused significant delays in the project coming to fruition one of the few surviving features of the from Manta to The Nomad was that of the exterior cargo hold by the time two Nomad prototype was completed its cost was closer to that of a million credits still a significant amount below that of a constellation one of the largest reasons for the price increase was due to the hover technology needed to be developed to sustain the exterior cargo hole quote when we introduced the Mustang line back in 2944 our aim was to reshape the dream of spaceflight since then much has changed in the way we Traverse the Stars the universe itself has expanded with infinite opportunities waiting out there for all of us brave enough to chase them the time has come to reshape the dream yet again to push further than we ever have before the time has come for The Nomad end quote Silas Kerner 2950. hello guys and welcome back to the channel today obviously we’re going to take a look at this great little startership The Nomad manufactured by Consolidated Outland it is the space pickup truck and is fairly versatile for its size there’s a great bond between gray cat Rock Mining and The Nomad and I use the Nomad way more than some of my other ships um I just find it a pleasant ship to fly once you get get used to its odd looks it’s extremely versatile very useful and the gray cat Rock mining aspect is brilliant it’s a very good game Loop that I thoroughly enjoy and I use the Nomad a lot to exploit that game Loop and make some good money so it is a very interesting ship it does have some very cool features it has Shion alien hovertech for landing gear so it uses sorcery to hover above the ground which is awesome obviously the flat bed at the back is very unique it’s an external cargo bay there’s only a few ships with that capability mainly the whole A B C D and E’s have that capability so to have these cool features on a starter ship is very good it has a bed it has a very nice interior very pleasant inside the Nomad handles really nicely and it has some advantages over say uh the Cutlass black IE if you get hit and lose an engine in the color black or any of the cutlasses to be fair you’re no longer flying that spacecraft so that doesn’t happen with this it’s very cool once you get used to the sort of weird Aesthetics of it it has a very bulbous cockpit that kind of reminds me of World War II bombers from Germany in some respects and towards the rear of the ship itself it’s all spiky and angular and yeah spoilerish is really cool very good ship I would recommend this to anyone that’s trying to get into the verse or maybe you haven’t tried this ship you definitely should internally cockpit wise it is without a doubt one of my favorite places to sit there’s something although there are struts that you might find are quite intrusive um the layout of the mfds the way that they just wrap around you as the pilot I think is one of the better designs in the game personally I really enjoy um how the mfds wrap around the pilot everything is super easy to read and even the color scheme is a nice ambient glow to it which makes reading the mfds very easy the struts are nowhere near as in pending that you might think it’s just a very pleasant place to sit in the Nomad piloting this ship it’s a fantastic fantastic ship and I do feel it’s kind of underrated and I wonder if that’s just because people want to do combat more although the ship has three weapon systems on board you can upgrade them to a bigger size which is almost certainly going to increase increase your DPS output um I’ve never really used this ship for bounty hunting or anything like that I really just like the sort of relaxing side to Star Citizen sometimes and that’s when uh the gray cap Rock gets the dust blown off of it and they’re they’re best friends The Nomad and the gray cats are definitely best friends and it can also fit multiple different Vehicles STV gray cat Rock DS the bigger variant with some careful parking so it’s an impressive ship now let’s take a look at the stock components that you will find when you purchase The Nomad for the first time [Music] okay guys here we are at the DPS calculator live and we have the Nomad and as you can see we have three weapon systems here stock they are the badges and all three of them are gimbaled so we have the one on the chin of the ship itself and then we have a mini turret on the spine of the ship at the top each one of these is sporting badges you can of course swap these out for a larger weapon system maybe three fixed size threes I have never felt the need to change them I like the badges I like the gimbals I think they’re a little bit more useful because this ship isn’t particularly maneuverable in terms of things like a arrow or a Gladius or things of that nature and nor should it be as it is a space pickup truck you get eight missiles as well which are the strike force twos and we get four in each side of um sort of like winglets not winglets they’re little pods on the side of the ship we’ve got three Shields which is an interesting layout they’re size one and they are of the web variety and they have a really cool storage space for these on the ship as well then we have one power plant which is size one which is the power bolt again I’ve really never really needed to change any components it’s like a my chilling mini cargo running Expedition Rock mining ship basically two Arctic storms size one coolers and a Content Drive which is the expedition um haven’t used it far enough don’t really go long distances with the Nomad to recommend any QT drivers but there is definitely performance on the table that you can gain by swapping components to your needs that’s for sure let’s then move on to the internals of the ship okay guys here we are in the living quarters of the Nomad and it’s very clean very simple and in simpleness there is aspects of Elegance I find and I really like this living quarters for this ship I think it’s for solo player for a new player it’s cozy it’s functional it’s not too depressing um I kind of like it there’s something that it has charm to some respect so you can see that you get a kitchenette um a microwave like a mini breakfast bar which is pretty cool I think that’s even marble as well so you do get a little bit of fancy um with the Nomad and the sleeping quarters as well fairly spacious um little house plan because reasons you know um so although it’s simple it’s elegant you know I really like that the internals of The Nomad there’s lots and lots of right angles and sort of aggressive angles running through the ship and that transforms into the internals as well and it’s a quite a pleasant place to sit the back end of that we have a storage bin on the left to some respect but there’s going to be components you have a viewport so you can see out to your cargo deck and you have the main entry point of the ship with a ladder that folds in and out in a very Posh fan um Posh manner excuse me so yeah it’s a great little ship I really like the Nomad very humble very versatile nice to fly Pleasant place to be in the middle of nowhere you have the option to log out by laying in the bed so it’s very simple elegant and functional and I like it I really do it’s grown on me the more I use it the more I like it okay let’s go over some of the features to be found in and around the Nomad before we begin our tour of the ship so cargo space it has 24 SCU at the back on that cargo bed and it can fit a cyclone gray cat rock as we’ve mentioned the STV the PTV and the gray cat Rock DS but requires some talented part parking excuse me habitation for a light freighter The Nomad has surprisingly spacious living quarters with a bed kitchen bathroom gun racks and plenty plenty of local inventory hovertech The Nomad has unique levitating Landing emitters that make the ship hover above the surface instead of physically touching land so as I said sorcery weapons with a single size 3 gun hardpoint at front of the ship a pilot controlled remote turretch which can hold a pair of size 2 guns on top and racks that can hold up to eight size two missiles The Nomad can defend itself if needed missiles cannot swap to different types however and another important feature of this ship and it should be on the horizon very soon track to beam the vehicle has a standard equipped tractor beam on a size 1 utility Mount allowing you to easily transfer Congo cargo on or off its hole that’s going to be a very excellent feature for most ships but especially for the Nomad I look forward to using that so as you can see it has some impressive features and packed into a tiny frame and um yeah it’s a very impressive ship so who is this ship for really well maybe I think it’s for people that don’t want to do combat 24 7 not saying that you can’t and you want to do other things it gives you the ability ability to do minor cargo running you know gray cat Rock mining is the big plus for me I just can’t get enough of it to be quite honest with you it’s very versatile it was brilliant in jump town I used it in jump town very easy to Yeet those drug packages onto the back especially when you can see the cargo ramp is down like this um yeah it has a lot of Versatility a lot of comfort and it’s very easy to fly um so it’s more sort of geared towards the relaxation side of Star Citizen I would say for people that want to do other things other than combat um you can kill the AI Bounty not a problem you could go bunker busting in this not a problem of course you can um but I think predominantly where this ship shines is the more relaxed inside the Star Citizen that a lot of people enjoy for good reason so it’s very impressive as you can see here it just levitates like David Blaine um yeah very interesting shapes and right angles the back is very super aggressive and in the front seems to be very bulbous and Placid so it’s a stark contrast to how the ship looks externally but um yeah the hover sorcery of the landing gear and the animation is really good and the detail of the struts inside as well it’s all there that you would expect from crg um so no real shocks it’s all been modeled it all works the animation is great love that blue tint around the landing gear then we have the eight missiles and four on each side of the ship in total stored away some exhaust fans and then the weird bulbous look at the front yeah kind of menacing in some respects very sort of batman-esque from certain camera angles I find but yeah once you get used to the Aesthetics and you fly this ship for a little bit of time it really does get under your skin I’m very impressed with it and have use it on the regular I have to admit that I can’t stop using this sometimes anyway enough ranting let’s get in the ship there’s only one entry point so we’ll go up and down the ladder to get in and out but obviously we’re gonna go in there we go and we’re greeted by just red lots of red um now for those of you that have been in the prowler if not um I have a video on it I’ll link it you I get sort of Prowler Vibes stood right here the internals of the prowler the drop ship the alien Dropship have the same sort of kind of tavaran red tints with the angles um but that quickly Fades when you get inside you have this awesome axis um panel Port sorry you can see that your cargo’s still there the first time flying this I was worried that my SCU or whatever I had on the back was just gonna float off in this into space but it doesn’t because there’s a gravity pad there which keeps things locked down which is nice mag grids Etc um so we have a little storage bin there for just like electronic components possibly blades question mark I’m not entirely sure we do have a toilet as well um which will be useful when they introduce that mechanic um I don’t know hygiene and for some reason there is toothpaste and a toothbrush now I don’t know who’s been living in this ship but there’s a perfectly good kitchen with a sink next door so please don’t brush your teeth using toilet water it’s not healthy it’s not good for you don’t do that who does that freaking weirdo anyway um opposite that we have a mini storage um and not entirely sure it’s an armor thing or a weapon wreck so there’s no sort of indication what this is for unless it’s just for the small SCU boxes maybe maybe you could get a helmet in that top and then your armor folded into an Su box on the bottom I’m not sure but it’s storage is there for a reason um haven’t figured it out then we have the uh the classic house plant bringing a little bit of life into the interior and the bed it’s a reading material the lawmakers lawmakers guide Clan brutality and dare to dream Dare To Dream sounds like a good read um and then we have like some fault-finding books error reported maybe they’re uh it’s probably the issue Council to bug reports we don’t have a monitor there I don’t like it being there though because if we’re lying down how are you gonna watch that without breaking your neck the mind is Trivial at least it’s there then we have this really cool little breakfast bar here I’m gonna call it a breakfast bar but the sea that pops out look at that brilliant that’s the best thing in the ship forget the sorcery and the hovering that’s amazing so you can take a little seat storage for the components in the roof I like that I think that’s a really sensible design getting things in and out this way is just very efficient I think that’s going to be an excellent side to the ship especially when it comes to repairs in the kitchen we have some you know space decorations we’ve got soy sauce nice kitchen cooker sink where I would be brushing my teeth not the toilet and the microwave but yeah that seat is awesome so that’s the living cause humble effective I like it and then we go through the door we arrive at the cockpit we’ll take a seat nice 180 very smooth animation it’s good to see that the teleporting hasn’t affected this ship where you get just yeated into the front so as you can see there are a lot of struts and normally I would pick a bone with it and be like ah it’s two it’s too intrusive but it’s really not that bad at all and you soon forget and I think just the way that the cockpit itself is laid out is quite bulbous from outside looking in inside it starts to make sense we have this excellent MFD all the buttons here that we could ever want when these all get modeled and become functional it’s going to be amazing so I just really like the color scheme and how the cockpit wraps around the pilot it’s a big MFD um big head UPS display big rectangular HUD which is really cool um so yeah just a pleasant place to sit so there we go guys that was my short video on the Consolidated Outland Nomad I hope you enjoyed it if you did you know what buttons to press and I of course will have more Star Citizen content on route to you soon take care cheers [Music] foreign
In this video, the speaker provides an in-depth and meticulous review of the Consolidated Outland Nomad - a versatile, single-crew spaceship from the game Star Citizen. They praise the unconventional yet efficient design of the ship and its performance. The Nomad offers a modest 24 SCU cargo capacity and unique features such as an exposed cargo bay akin to industrial haulers. The ship’s aesthetics combined with functionalities bought together by its under-the-hood design prompts the speaker to proclaim it as a perfect vessel for space journeys.
The Nomad’s development journey dating back to 2942 is also highlighted in the video. It began as Dr. Charlotte Roland’s vision to create a competitor to the RSI constellation spacecraft. Changes over time, including a shift to a single-crew design, led to Roland’s resignation, leading to significant delays. Yet, the Nomad survived and evolved, retaining its unique exterior cargo hold.
In spite of its industrial and utilitarian design, the speaker emphasizes the elegance and comfort found within the ship. The Nomad possesses spacious, pleasing interiors with practical amenities, including a bed, kitchen, bathroom, and gun racks. With its surprising internal comfort and amenities, alongside convenient access to the laser repeaters, the speaker feels the Nomad offers an extra layer of security desirable in space travel.
The Nomad truly shines in its impressive array of features. With unique levitating Landing emitters, makes the ship hover over surfaces rather than land. Its ability to hold up to eight size two missiles and three shields demonstrate its defensive capabilities. The hovertech and open cargo bed design allow versatile usage, including favorable interaction with the Grey Cat Rock for mining. An add-on advantage is the ship’s tractor beam that makes cargo transfer effortless.
The speaker acknowledges that The Nomad is ideal for players who prefer explorative and non-combat gameplay. It offers potential for minor cargo runs, exploration, and profitable mineral mining, especially with the helpful Grey Cat Rock. While combat is possible with The Nomad, the speaker sees its strength in offering different gameplay experiences, emphasizing a more relaxed, pleasing side of Star Citizen.
The Nomad, with its sleek and aggressive exterior, along with an innovative design, presents a striking contrast. The speaker notes how this ship manages to create a deep connection with the players with more usage. The detailed focus on components and structure, easy manoeuvrability, and a well-balanced mix of simple yet effective aesthetics in the design make The Nomad a notable spacecraft in the Star Citizen’s fleet.
To summarize, this video provides a detailed review and appreciation of the Nomad, a ship from Star Citizen’s fleet. Boasting an unconventional design, loaded with effective defence mechanisms, spacious interiors, and a unique blend of in-game functionalities, the Nomad stands out as a highly versatile spacecraft offering a balanced mix of combat, exploration, and mining utility. While the ship has evolved significantly since its inception, it offers players a relaxed, exploratory gameplay option, favouring non-combat and mining operations. The Consolidated Outland Nomad proves to be a commendable blend of innovative design, comfort, versatility, and gaming experience.
