Do rapid light launchers receive the bonus to "small weapon damage" in a Wolf Rayet system?

Their charges are light, but fitting is cruiser size. (well kinda)

Wasn't sure if they were a viable alternative.

Also, are light/med/heavy/sentries considered any type of weapon group? (small, med, large, xl) This could also be useful.

Thank you in advance

According to this incredibly useful website...

Nope. It only affects modules which directly require one of five skills. These skills are:
  • Rockets
  • Light Missiles
  • Small Projectile Turret
  • Small Hybrid Turret
  • Small Energy Turret

Good question, though!

But Launchers are a bit special in this regard.

They don't require anything but Missile Launcher Operation to fit. The skill requirements is on the Missiles themselves. For example I can fit a Cruise Missile Launcher with just Missile Launcher Operation V, but unless I train Cruise Missiles to at least LV I, I can't launch Cruise Missiles from it.

Since Rapid Light Launchers launch Light Missiles, which do require the Light Missiles skill, wouldn't it count?

Space. It seems to go on and on forever. But then you get to the end and a gorilla starts throwing barrels at you.

it fires the same light missiles as the standard launcher, so if you ask me I'd say yes

I'm going to have to go with yes. The Light Missiles skill governs damage from light missiles and it's directly affected by the environmental effects.

I'd never seen it broken down the way that link does though, so without testing it's still a guess. Not that eve fit is often wrong....

Oops! You are absolutely right. I guess they do work then!

Sorry for my mistake, but maybe you'll still find the link helpful?

are they small weapons? yes.

Are they small weapons? No
Do they use small ammo? Yes
Do you do research before kicking into sarcasm? do the math...
