Durzel Caldari	Posted - 2008.03.03 10:14:00 - [2] Rockets are useless, missiles aren't.
ThaDollaGenerale Endless Destruction	Posted - 2008.03.03 10:19:00 - [3] ^ Let's fight...in interceptors. I'll take rockets, you take missiles.
Setana Manoro Gallente Firefly Inc.	Posted - 2008.03.03 10:41:00 - [4] Originally by: ThaDollaGenerale ^ Let's fight...in interceptors. I'll take rockets, you take missiles. Someone's very happy for training Energy Management 5. :)
Omarvelous Destry's Lounge XIII Legio	Posted - 2008.03.03 14:19:00 - [5] Originally by: Durzel Rockets are useless, missiles aren't. It's a crime to post something this stupid. I will punish you with my 'useless' rockets... __________________________________________________ Sup brosef! Destry's Lounge is looking for a few good drunks - contact me in game.
Inertial The Python Cartel	Posted - 2008.03.03 14:22:00 - [6] Rockets Pros: High DPS No problems with tracking Can change damage type Low PG/CPU reqs when fitting Cons: Low Range (4000m standard, which is about blaster range) Missiles Pros: Long range High volley damage No problem with tracking Can change damage type Cons: Hard to fit on T1 frigs (well, harder) Low DPS Personally for PVP, I would go with rockets.
Carousel Sweet	Posted - 2008.03.03 14:35:00 - [7] Also ... rockets are unguided, so guided missile precision doesn't do anything on them. and rockets = more fun ;-)
Jokus Balim	Posted - 2008.03.03 15:59:00 - [8] They are short and long range versions of missiles. You have a short range and a long range version for every turret type (autocannons vs. artillery, beam lasers vs. pulse lasers, blasters vs. railguns), and you find the same thing with missiles: Small: rockets for short range, standard missiles for long range Medium: heavy assault missiles for short, heavy missiles for long Large: torpedoes for short, cruise missiles for long Short range weapons do more damage due to better rate of fire, more damage per hit and so on. Long range weapons can give the enemy a beating without retaliation. Unfortunately you have to get into close range in a lot of pvp scenarios because you have to tackle your enemy.
Na'Kunni Amarr RSP Enterprises HUZZAH FEDERATION	Posted - 2008.03.04 04:40:00 - [9] well your standard rocket with launcher will look a little like this Now don't get me wrong they thing can be lethal... but in the hands of a noob they're not very effective due to thier lack of range, but once in range the fluffy goodness really shines in them.. Your standard missile with launcher will look a little like this Missiles are slgihtly harder to fit, but have longer range.. a longer "shaft" than a rocket.. and generally do more burst damage... Overall I would choose missiles over rockets.. unless your skills manage you to fire over 11km's... Rockets - Short Range, High DPS Missiles - Long Range, High/Moderate DPS

Serathii Simtech Productions Hydra Alliance	Posted - 2008.03.04 12:44:00 - [11] Edited by: Serathii on 04/03/2008 12:44:22 i think you could fire 6(or something) rockets in the time needed to fire a missile, or around that rockets make nice cheap stuff for close range frigates, if your going to be in range anyway fit for it and take rockets instead of missiles
La Hafiz The Aduro Protocol	Posted - 2008.03.04 23:34:00 - [12] Kestrel fitted to the teeth with rockets = good fun =D
techzer0 IDLE GUNS	Posted - 2008.03.05 01:13:00 - [13] Rocket Hawk with t2 lauchers, rocket spec 4 and two BCU II's = good fun with a 15k range But reloading every 10 seconds or so sucks, lol... Both have their uses, and like the other guys already said Rockets/Heavy Assault Missiles/Torps are the short range OMGWHATHITME version of missiles. That and with a launcher going off every 2 seconds it makes a lot of "BOOM" noises so it sounds like you're smacking the crap out of someone, even when you aren't ------------ Originally by: CCP Mitnal It's great being a puppetmaster
Joe Starbreaker Starbreaker Spaceways Nex Eternus	Posted - 2008.03.05 05:10:00 - [14] I like rockets on my can-flipping blaster frigate. In EVE you want to get in close to do your killing. Rockets are rapid-fire and all the explosions make great screenshots.
Marcus TheMartin Gallente Deadly Addiction Un-Natural Selection	Posted - 2008.03.05 06:23:00 - [15] missiles have fof versions rockets don't so the flycatcher gets better ewar resistance compared to the other dictors

And the roaming lowsec pirate hunting russians that only fight with 2 to 1 odds. Guess I might want to actually re-test how well FOFs work, hmm. ------------ Originally by: CCP Mitnal It's great being a puppetmaster

True story I come into G-QSTD and start doing my thing then BAM RA falcon jumps in and cloaks. One time a hauler came through right before DT I engaged ra falcon jumps in and perma jams me oh the heart break as I had to let the hauler go because of that damn falcon.
Ch Tang	Posted - 2008.03.05 09:07:00 - [20] Rockets! Rockets? No, they are no good. Don't bother using them. coughhehecough
Siigari Kitawa Gallente The Aduro Protocol	Posted - 2008.03.05 09:32:00 - [21] Rockets are the Light Neutrons of missiles. Period. They kick ass.
Corstaad	Posted - 2008.03.05 09:34:00 - [22] One goofy thing with rockets though is lost time with reloading during longer fights.

Mind you Javelin rockets and Hawks aren't too useful - but its funny. __________________________________________________ Sup brosef!
