I would like to see either the existing rocket launchers or new rocket launchers that fire several rockets (probably 3) in quick succession and then have a regular cool-down time. I think this would make rockets more effective, it would differentiate them from the other missiles, and it's more along the lines of how rockets of this type are really used.

makes sense, and would also give small missile ships a lot better alpha dmg.
maybe add a ROF penalty when using burst fire mode.

if you want this for gameplay purposes then the gap between standards and rockets is enough, just like rails/blasters autocannons/artilleries
if you want this for the cool effect then no thanks, more lag - also wheny you fire missiles it might just-as-well be many at a time, nobody can see an actual missile out of that glowing light, might aswell be 35 missiles grouped together

One issue to look at with rockets and missiles is this: Rockets are not precision munitions, They are like a shotgun meant to inflict a target with maximum damage over a cetain area. Missiles are precision munitions, they are like a rifle meant to inflict maximum damage to a specific area.
Rockets are fired in rapid succession to cover this area. A good weapon to model this after is the Vulcan rotary cannon. This ACTUAL weapon can put a 20-30 milimeter round in a 1' x 1' x 100' area meaning within a 100' yard squared area there will be a impact in every 1' x 1' squared section in this 100' x 100' area.
Missiles are precise and meant to used to accurately strike a target at a specific point. A good munition to model this after would be the Maverick AGM-65 missile. It is precision guided to its target to minimize collateral damage and maximize damage at it's impact point.
These are the differences between the two.

Dryson this is true, but since we know they aren't going to make rockets an area of effect weapon I didn't go there.
