It is a duplicate...many times over...but to answer your version, no, it's not available at all without a mod.

Yeah its a dupe, but (personally) i think theres a fine balance between people asking stupid questions and every reasonable question/poll/problem already having been answered and the forum turning into a giant FAQ with no index...

Anyhoo that wasnt what i started this to say. The paralyzer missile launcher is actually on the wrecks that you get the paralyzer missiles from, but it doesnt drop. I dont know why but peeps in the modding forums have been trying to figure it out. Is it possible DA meant it to drop? We will probably never know.

You'd have to have a damn good reason to fire those bad boys anyway, aren't they about 10 grand a pop?

About 10k, yep. Sell them and buy yourself some Tizona Del Cids, you'll be a happier person for it. =)
*fzzt* "Hey... where are my shields?"


Yes, it is a bad pun.

I'd say they meant them to drop alright, the launcher is listed as lootable in the .ini's and any wreck that gives you the missiles was supposed to give you a launcher as well imho.

heh, they're no more expensive than sunslayer torps/ripper mines, about 7.3K a piece afaik, which isn't an awful lot when you have money to burn...

Actually, we have already figured out why the Paralyzer missile launchers don't drop from the wrecks. The technical details can be found in this thread (and by following the links found in it). But to summarize the problem:

The basic issue was that the hardpoint used by the Paralyzer missile launcher was located on the wings of the wrecks in question, but the wrecks have had their wings removed. So, no wing = no more hardpoint = no more launcher. More generally speaking, if a piece of equipment is defined on a hardpoint that is located on a wing (or other such similar extension) of the wreck, you can almost always kiss it good-bye. The only exception that I can think of (off the top of my head) is the Liberty Defender wrecks, because those wrecks are defined with one of their wings still intact.

For me, Firestalker is more appealing as i had used stalker...
a missile should like that(fly , fly and hit) instead of a slow moving fireball like javelin family do....
