Paranids are the only sellers, or you can get some from captured Pirate TS's or as debris when you blow them up.

in X2 you can buy them from paranid hornet missile facts or equip docks, in X3 you can only (?) pick them up as salvage.

I believe you can buy them in X3 if I'm not mistaken..Who knows.. But during XI mission large ammounts of them are dropped(or atleast in my game)... Anywhere from 20-40, or more, I'm guesstimating.

i like using it on clusters as it can kill most the scouts and leave a damaged fighter. Then its just the job of killing them.

1. Hornet missiles are built in and sold by high yield complexes. At the start of my game, there was a HY complex in Herron's Nebula and one in or near Paranid Prime, but fairly quickly they both disappeared, and there is now no HY complex in my universe.

2. Other than that, pirate encounters tend to leave them lying around. I have one freighter that is my jump drive equipped supply ship that I tend to leave full of the missiles my M3 has picked up, from which I can transfer freight as needed.

3. Or you can buy your own hornet factory,

hornet missiles are good but what you really want are the unknown objects that get dropped. A hornet missile is an ant sting to an elephant compared to these things. Can kill m2's in 1 shot or an m1 in two shots. They sell for 80K in equipment docks should you find em.
