Overview

The Rocket Launcher fires explosive un-guided missiles toward which ever it is pointed at.

Usage

The Rocket Launcher uses 200mm Missile Container for ammo. Unlike the Reloadable Rocket Launcher, it is incapable of retrieving ammo from nearby Cargo Containers since it has no large conveyor port, so it needs to be loaded manually from the front. The yellow stripe should be facing the front. Bad things will happen if the yellow is mounted towards the ship, as this is where the rockets come out.

Tips

  • These rocket launchers are only good for saving space. If you are entirely dependent on missiles, use Reloadable Rocket Launchers instead.

Known Issues

  • As of December 2014, on dedicated servers, firing this weapon while moving forward even slightly will cause the rocket to spawn behind the launcher destroying itself and other parts of your ship. Also, there is typically a 7 second detonation delay on a populated server rendering rocket launchers useless for hitting moving targets.
