Does a missile launcher exist (except the one for the firework), that can be used with an alpha clone?

According to the dev blog on alpha clones here : https://community.eveonline.com/news/dev-blogs/introducing-clone-states-and-the-future-of-access-to-eve-online/

Gallente can train missile launchers.

If you scroll down that page you will see a list of skills that the alpha clones of each race can train. TBH I wasn't expecting to see Missile Launcher Operation there for Gallente as their racial skills are more focused on drones and hybrid weapons.

When you look at the link in the article above you will notice, that every faction gets Missile Launcher Operation I. Caldari and Minmatar get a more complete set of missile skills.

Looking for assignment: have missiles, will travel ...

Thank you for the answers. I thought that I sould be able to use at least one missile launcher, when I have Missile Launcher Operation 1.

Well... does the ship you are trying to put launchers on have launcher hardpoints?

I tried to buy launchers, but every single launcher gives me the Omega sign, because of missing skills.
There is no launcher that I can use with only Missile Launcher Operation 1. Sad

Missile launcher 1 is part of the "starter" skill set which every new character gets. http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Starting_Skills
It is not specifically an Alpha or Omega skill. To actually fit a launcher you will need the light or medium missile skills which are only available to Alphas for the Caldari and Minmatar factions.

With Gallente, you are limited to hybrid weapons and drones. Not a bad situation - ships like the Tristan, Algos and Vexor are among the most popular in the game.

No. [Not entirely true, but for your purposes it is.]

You will want to train Rockets I and / or Light Missiles I.

Isn't missiles restricted to Caldari only as Alpha clones?

No. Minmatar also get missiles. Amarr and Gallente don't.
