Are they even in the game? I have never looted one. I have never seen one for sale (and I've looked). No one I know has one (That I know of).
and now the "Component Guide / Friday Feature" makes no mention of them.
Do they even exist?

They are in the game, but you are right. I have never looted a launcher. I can understand not looting the AMMO, but Devs, why have we never looted launchers? It would seem to me that that ought to be possible. You may notice that the ONE ITEM that cannot be looted is also the ONE ITEM no one uses, and is cost-prohibitive in the expense department. Coincidence?

I can't say I've looted them, but there's no shortage of them, at least on Bria. Nor ammo for them, too.
I don't make heavy use of it, but I like my concussion missile launcher. *POW* shields down, proceed to rip up systems... =)

I have a missile and a countermeasure launcher and i really HATE how they work. Countermeasures have no sound and don't work. Missile launchers are always beeping and can't be switched on or off. Plus you need a 100% lock otherwise you can't fire them.
Wish this game was more like X-Wing Alliance.

I wish the beeping stopped when your missiles were depleted. As far as Countermeasures go I can't survive without em (okay I can but I like em). I have never been hit by a missile when I have any kind of countermeasure loaded. I use simple chaff packs and pull up slightly after deploying them.

So did you ever play any of the SW flightsims?

Missile Lauchers are great. I always use them. For ammo you really need a friend as most vendors overprice by huge amounts.
I saw a guy selling crates of 10 Mark 2 Proton Missile packs (10 Missiles) for 1 million each. Found another vendor and bought the same for 60,000 credits and thats his normal seeling price. You really have to shop around as on Intrepid I have found hundreds of thousands of credits differences for the same item.

I got both a countermeasure and a missile launcher plus 2 of each projectile type for 10K.
What i don't like about missiles is that you can't switch off the targeting system. Also you can't fire them unless they are locked, which sucks.
