ok i know ther there have been one post like this before, but i could not find it and i remember that info was a bit wrong. so i took some time to write down my numbers since i had tons of time.
This are time that are needed for 1 factory to make 1 rocket laucher
120+120+240+240+280 = 1000sec (16.6min) /grenade
x5 5000sec ( 83,3min) /for rocket pack (non experimented since damage on protons dont matter)
x5 5000sec ( 83,3min) /for rocket pack (non experimented since damage on protons dont matter)
80x8= 640 sec (10.6in) 8 proj mech ( basic ones /experimented )
112x2 = 224sec (3.7min) 2 scopes (advanced ones whit +40 aim)
160x4= 640sec (10.6min) 4 Power handlers (basic ones /experimented)
400sec (6.6min) final creation
TOTAL
6904 (115min)/ RL
Now thistoy came out as (yes i havent not used best steel (only about 650/650 or so kind) but iron was above avg and copper was of high quality)
30ch 7.6sec
1242-3603
+46 at 48
+24 at 64
iam on last step now. And will soon have 80 of them ready to get sliced and placed on vendor for 60k each and i hope that i wont need to make them for next half year or so.
As some people before me said.
They are royal pain to make.
If they would not need protons in them then price would drop to like 20k or so.

I hate making them but they are a necessary evil I'm afraid. Having an alt who's a master commando, I know how useful these things are, and I fel for all other commandos out there, which is why I sell them at an affordable price, sure I'm not making that much profit, but I'm not losing money on them either.

In the time and resources taken to make them, I can make other weapons and sell them for 10x of the RLs (both money and resourcewise).
They are a waste of time.

I make them with my bulk junk resources to use them up..They arent the best but they sell and it always looks good to have them on your vendor. I sell mine for 29-35k and i will make 100 at a time. I have 5 factorys so it isnt that big of a deal for me to manufacture the subcomponents. It is however a hug pain in the ass to make when compared to ather weapons. My suggestion for what it's worth is to make a run of 50 once per month.

Have about 15-20 on my vendor currently. Sell them for 30k each. Stats are:
1281-3923/7.2 30-use
It took me most of a week(couple hours each evening)to put em together.
