I have a level 1 laucher on my ship and its loaded with 8 missles im also a 0/1/0/0 pilot and it still keeps saying my weapon is disabled. What eles do I gotta do to get this thing to work?
That error means you're most likely running over the amount of power your reactor can generate. Are you launching with the energy counter (on the ship management screen)in the red?

Yeah I just checked and it is in the red. What does that mean that I gotta get a higher one to work with my missiles? Also do they have them for level 1 and level 2?
Have a read through the Pilot FAQ at the top of this forum, that should put you on the right track.
Every component uses a certain amount of energy (well besides armour and the reactor itself). Your reactor only puts out so much energy, so you have to balance components with the energy they use. If you're using more energy than your reactor is putting out (ie you're in the red when you launch), some of your components will either be disabled or not working at their peak. Hit V when you launch... you'll see icons next to the components that are having power issues.
So. You need a bigger reactor (one that puts out more energy than your current one) or a Reactor Overload program (see the FAQ for stuff about droid programs).
