Description
Missile Launchers launch Missiles. The rate of fire is given by
Size / Missile Reload Rate * 30s
A launcher can launch missiles up to its maximum size, and can store one missile equal to its size.
Usage
Missile Launchers are used to deploy all kinds of Missiles, including drones and buoys. Missiles themselves are the most potent weapon in Aurora, however without ammunition your missile launchers are just expensive targets. Missile Launchers reload from Magazines. Reduced size launchers can be useful to increase the salvo size for penetrating Point Defense. Box Launchers take this to its extreme, being small, but unable to reload outside a Hangar Deck or Maintenance Facility, and are a popular choice on fighters and FACs.
Components
Missile Launcher Size
Missile Launcher Size ranges between 1-100 HS. Every increment of size increases the base cost of the launcher by:
Missile Launcher Reload Rate
| Reload Rate | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| RP cost | - | 2,000 | 4,000 | 8,000 | 15,000 | 30,000 | 60,000 | 125,000 | 250,000 | 500,000 | 1,000,000 | 2,000,000 |
Each rank in reload rate linearly increases each of the costs mentioned under the size segment by 25% of the base cost. For example, a size 6, reload 1 launcher which would normally cost 6 Duranium, 18 Tritanium, 24 BP and 240 RP will at level 3 cost 50% more - 9 Duranium, 27 Tritanium, 36 BP and 360 RP.
Missile Launcher Launch Platform
| Platform | Ship | PDC |
|---|---|---|
| Reload Rate | 1 | 2 |
Launch platform has no effect on module cost.
Reduced-size Missile Launcher
| Size | 1 | 0.75 | 0.5 | 0.33 | 0.25 | 0.15 (Box) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Reload Multiplier | 1 | 2 | 5 | 20 | 100 | 15 |
| RP cost | - | 1,000 | 2,000 | 3,000 | 6,000 | 10,000 |
Box Launchers are not capable of reloads unless the ship is docked at a maintenance facility or hangar deck.
Each reduction in size applies the same proportional reduction in part cost to each of the items mentioned in the previous section. Our size 6, reload 3 launcher mentioned in the Reload section would cost 4.5 Duranium, 13.5 Tritanium, 18 BP and 180 RP at 50% reduction. It's notable that the 0.33 size increment only applies the decimals as shown, so a launcher with costs multiplied by 3 via reload rate 3 and then again multiplied by 0.33 due to the reduction in size would have a final cost 1% lower than the base cost due to the decimal imprecision.
Final Cost Formula
1 Duranium Base Cost 3 Tritanium Base Cost 4 BP Base Cost 40 RP Base Cost
Base Cost * Size in HS * (1+((Reload Rate-1)*0.25)) * Size Reduction
