Rocket Launchers and Acid Rifles....and all the various Beam cannons and streamers are useless
Need to get the thrower or plasma flamer

SO not true dude, i have a Heavy lightening cannon that does 300 Base DPS. thats BASE. That is far from useless. my Beam Cannon does about 250 BASE DPS. again... a very good weapon to grind up commando with.
The LBC is going to be a VERY big weapon in our arsenal namely that it can just nearly come up to the PFT with damage...but it also has more elemental than a standard PFT, and therefore more radial damage...that is, unless if AoE is suppoused to be 10% base/100% elemental - something Im still trying to get answered on the corr forums.
We're missing a strong kinetic weapon however...the RL is good, but its too low damage
- I hope we find those advanced LPs one day, or an advanced RL honestly 
I also find that the RL is far more useful for ranged combat since the PFT has limited range. Less DPS, but you get more security from using it.

Something I noticed...
In the Patch 15 TRE files, there's a set of 4 audio files for something called a Heavy_rocket_launcher. Now, I noticed they had sound files for several other heavy things as well, so I figured it must have been a standard prefix.
Today I got incendiary box I and used my rocket launcher - it uses very different sound files (LP sound effects on the tier 1 weapon). The audio files I found sounded more like the proton torpedo launching from ANH. I've personally got a hunch (or a hope maybe) that there's a heavy variant of the rocket launcher as a quest/loot drop.
Anyone checked purchasable faction perks recently? Maybe the schematic is one of those? (assuming it's even in yet, if there's supposed to be one)
Rocket Launcher is great, I use it as my primary when fighting multiple mobs. The innate chance for a knockdown saves me from all that extra damage they can be doing, and the weapon's speed isn't that bad, either. 45m range is nice, and if/when the mobs close to 25m or less, out comes the plasma flamer...but the Rocket Launcher does do nicely.
