Can anyone tell me how many projectile weapon mounts and missle mounts there are on the TIE interceptor? Some people have told me 2 some people have told me 1 for each catagory.
I would like to know before I plop down some hard-earned credits for a new ship.

Thanks.
Is the damage for the 1 projecitle weapon multiplied at all because you're shooting 4 lasers instead of 2 or is that just for show?

T/I is something you have to love.
50K mass, 1 proj mount, 1 missle. Its cornering speed is like 90% throttle, which is nothing to sneeze at.
Now, yes, 1 gun shoots 4 lasers, and it is just for show. However, if any one of those 4 bolts hit, you do full damage. Which is an advantage in and of itself when you consider dogfighting at high speeds against small agile ships. It increases your chances of hitting. Where as a chin mounted gun is less forgiving in accuracy.
The hardest thing about a T/I, is equiping it. Infact, once you do,when a non imperial pilot complains about mass problems, you'll probably chuckle at them. Off the top of my head, my T/I has:
a chaff launcher
L2 reactor
L3 capacitor (has good stats for its level)
L2 or L3 droid controller
no armor at all
L4 898 shield
L6 RE'd engine (68 YPR, 80ish speed i think)
L8 3200 damage cannon
(this is really what makes the ship, i built the entire ship around the gun and engine)
