RRS - Rapid Rocket Launcher.
Why not? Would be perfect for that one lonely utility slot. Lower requirements, shoter range, more DPS.
Was it proposed already earlier? |

I believe its part of a game design and balance decision to only have the long range missile versions as rapids, see rapid light, rapid heavy...
Are you sure your issues aren't elsewhere ?! |

Your question was answered already.
Because the Legacy Code has too much Psssssssssssssssh, nothing will ever get fixed until CCP stop wasting money on failed sparkle MMOs and instead rewrite the entire backend of EvE from scratch. |

Rapid Rockets makes no sense at all, since Rockets already have a high ROF, which Light Missiles and Heavy Missiles do not. That's also why there's not Rapid Heavy Assault Missiles, because that would just be plain stupid.
If anything, there has to be Rapid Cruise Missiles for Capitals. |

Haven't fought much with rockets, have you ? Range on my rocket bonussed PvP AS is about 5-6km, excluding chase distance and he says, with shorter range.. which is extremely.. well you be the judge on that.

wouldnt be worth it in my opinion, would probably apply the same if not better DPS with H.A.M.'s and would have a longer range so i wont get scram kited so easily.
Is it bad if your friend says "that was a Metaphor" and you say "Meta 4? Get Tech II or faction" ?I love the sound of silent explosions in Space.-á |

Now i have said since i stated playing in 08? am i that old? That what i want is a battleship sized module that fires like A BAJILLION ROCKETS... We're talking Macross levels of bullethell here... Take a MWD raven, fit a full rack of these and dump your entire ammo load at some unsuspecting frigate in range in 10 seconds or less... |

I like the idea of Rapid Firing Rocket boosting.
If the rocket is fired fast enough then it almost becomes a projectile based weapon. A launcher should be able to fire a rocket every .5 seconds.
I think that Guided Rockets are also needed as well. Guided Rockets wouldn't track their targets like a missile does for the entire flight time but would track their target for maybe 1.5 seconds after launch after such a time the guidance disables and if the rocket hasn't hit its target it continues along its flight path.
bumping a thread may not be allowed......
but pumping the thread to increase its EHP is allowed. |

If the rapid launchers actually had more capacity, the 35-second reload wouldn't be such a royal PITA. As it now stands, it's like watching paint dry while you reload. So either the current ammunition capacity of rapid launchers should be increased by +50% or the reload time reduced to 20 seconds.
I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week. |

It has to do with categories.
Just like turrets, launchers have a long range and short range variety.
Long/short
Cruise/Torpedo
Heavy/Heavy Assault
Light/Rocket
Now the role of Rapid Heavy and Rapid Light a bit different.
Rapid Heavies are not for medium sized hulls. They are for large sized hulls.
Rapid Lights are not for small sized hulled. They are for medium sized hulls.
The point of these is so medium and large sized ships have better capability against targets of a smaller size. The trade off is that they'll get shorter ranges.
Eg. The Rapid Heavy offers a range comparable to torpedoes but won't do as much damage as torpedoes will to large targets. However, torpedoes deal a reduced damage to medium and small targets while the heavy missiles will deal their full damage potential to large target and deal most of their damage to medium targets. They'll also deal more damage to small targets than torpedoes will.
So the groups for launchers are;
Cruise/Torpedo/Rapid Heavy
Heavy/Heavy Assault/Rapid Light
Light/Rocket
There isn't a launcher size that is smaller. So there is no smaller size to make a 'Rapid' version out of and there doesn't really need to be. Rockets handle the smallest targets in game (drones?) as it is.
The only thing I see missing would be Rapid Cruise for capital ships.

They wouldn't add that. The whole point of dreadnoughts is that they're dedicated anti-capital and shouldn't easily apply damage to subcaps. They did a dev blog on it a while ago. |

Did not real the whole thing, but i read the reply regarding dreads. That devblog basicly state that they will lower the siege cycle + stronger t1 siege module and see what happens.
To lazy to find when rapid launchers were introduced but im 99% sure its after this blog, so rapids were not an option. |

The Dev Blog wrote:If you want to deal with sub-capitals, you should bring your own sub-capitals or a carrier.
Giving Rapid Cruise Launchers to dreadnoughts (and titans, by extension) would make them incredible at fighting sub-capitals, which is against their design goals for the specifically anti-capital dreadnought class. |

What about having a dual-launcher for the short-ranged missiles? Light missiles are a frigate class weapon and Rapid Lights are a cruiser class weapon, so rocket launchers are a frigate class weapon and a dual rocket launcher would be a cruiser class weapon.
Why? While I admit missiles and guns are 2 different weapon systems, and should stay that way, you get plenty of dual and quad gun systems so why not have a Cerb that mounts 6 dual-rockets that spew 2 rockets each at the normal interval. The upside would be the RoF and application bonus of using rockets over HAMs, while sacrificing the range, since it seems like CCP is never going to address the issues inherent with missile application. (No way to modify your application with the exception of stacking rigors) Even if they do finally give missile pilots another module, over the cries and whines of OPness, it would still be interesting to watch a Raven wade in to 25-30km and start spewing HAMs. |
