We have a nice class of missiles: Rockets, but its only available to GT, which is sad.

So how about letting Hvys Ints or reg mount Rockets.

The rocket would be Short Range (med mayb) thy will have a seeker damage. (No tracking since its a Rocket). And mayb accessible by Sup so it will give a reason for muti tech. Ofcourse the details can be discussed.

I don't think we need to make it easier to ints to kill drones/bbrs, which is basically what you are proposing.

Handling Rocket/ Firing/ Aiming is kinda hard in any case the success rate of a Hit are low I think. So skill come into play here. Also getting this rocket would be pretty expensive, since you will need Hvy Ints and a SUP.

My Main reason behind this is to see Rockets being used more. :)

Please note I said easier to kill Bbrs/drones. Nice big targets that don't move too fast.

No they get "probes."

SRR= Short range rocket.

SRP= Short range projectile.

So no, no they don't.

Honestly I'd rather have rockets than dumbfires (which I have a hell of a time hitting with), especially for miner-hunting in a scout; dfs' nutjob tracking tends to make dodge miners even in situations where I could easily have pegged the miner if I could have mounted a SRP instead.

My whining about sucking so much aside, it might be worth giving other factions some rockets just to make the constant GT vs GT pugs more interesting; right now they tend to be "rush to PT bbrs, put everyone in PT bbrs and have them dogfight with the other team's PT bbrs, keep doing that for the rest of the game".

If I ever have a game where I can dogfight other PT's with my PT i'll be in heaven.

I wish dumbfires worked more like rockets though... The same dumbfire speed but the ability to not actually track. Would be nice.
