The Nomad is also useful as a personal dropship for [[settlement]] missions. It excels at low-altitude reconnaissance, bypass anti-aircraft defenses and land directly in the middle of hostile settlements.

Line 147:

* This is the first flyable vessel with a ship interior. You can seamlessly walk between the exterior and interior when landed.

* The main ship can be dismissed via the in-game menu so the Nomad is untethered.

* You can launch the ship in orbit of a planet, but traveling to the surface takes a long time.

* Minimum altitude to launch the Nomad is 500m.

* If the Nomad is destroyed you lose all exobiology data.
