Rocket Launchers suck to make thats why you have trouble finding them. They require crated proton grenades which require i believe 4 seperate factory runs to manufacture. Only the most dedicated of WS make proton grenades. Personally i have been buying proton grenades from other WS to make my rocket launchers.

I also believe they take ABPH's and Feed Mechs as well...I've only crafted a couple of them.

I do remember making one a week or so ago and was VERY disappointed in the damage it dishes out.

5 Protons * 4 subs = 20 subs + 8 Feeds + 4 abph + 2 scopes = 34 Subcomponents + 385 resources _not_ in the subcomponents for main build.

I don't know the actual total factory time needed, I'm sure someone can calc it out, but you're talking way too much trouble for what someone wants to pay. Last time I sold some I did them for 100k and that was back in dec 2003, haven't made one since.

...and what makes it worse now, is that the rocket launcher is only a CL 22/Tier 1 Elite weapon...

So you're getting less bang for your buck compared to a Plasma FT or a LBC....both a ws and a commando issue.

True, but since commandos don't get any special shots, this is my only reliable way to do a KD. After that, I switch to a more powerful weapon.

This is also an similar but less extreme issue as the LVA (3 AVBU) and the VL (2 AVBU), there is really no financial reason to stock an LVA which does less damage, lower cert than a VL which takes 1/3 less and is lvl 54 cert.

I'm curious - before the CURB the quality of the proton grenades used in Rocket Launchers were unimportant since these did not affect the final weapon. Crap grenades made the same RL as grenades with maxes damage.

Has anyone tried to make new proton grenades after the CURB and RLs with those, that is, is the quality of thegrenades still unimportant?

Its been tossed around getting the devs to implent an "advanced RL" thats master level (and very powerful), especially since we were suppoused to get "advanced LPs". The latter never made its way to TC, and all of our LPs were turned to crap...so who knows?

The reason to stock the lower lvl weapons isn't for the masters of the respective classes but for the ones who are grinding out the various classes since they may not be lvl 54 when they are trying to grind out there new class.
