Heavy msl's and beyond will be more usefull than rockets, higher dmg and range.
But you could play around with rockets to get an idea of them .Get a dual+ launcher frig and do some dive bombings  .
You can buy the rockets bpc's off the market and make them yourself.

Regardless the newbie use for them they are a starting point in using msl's and they are fun to use with frigs for a while.
Agreed, rocket launchers should hold more and the m-12 could be a bit faster since even defenders have a hard time to come out of them quick enough.IMO, there should be another launcher between the rocket and the heavy launchers

Multiple msl's launches would be a bit overkil. As it stands heavy and siege launchers are fine but cruise msl's should only be used with bombers to come and cruiser/bs'.
Current frigates and interceptors should be restricted to use heavy msl's and below but the m-12/rocket launchers capacity should be increased to make them more viable.
On the other hand, looking at EvE - DB and if it's something to trust on, there are "future?" launchers with higher capacity than the current ones...
...maybe all we have to do ... is wait ?

Currently, a few frigates with multiple launchers using cruise msl's can pose a big threat to frigates/indys/cruisers and dare i say bs'.Sure it reflects the nimble crafts with deadly charges of today's world but frigates were/are the first step in player's ship development. To grant such power to them already makes me wonder what does the upcoming bombers,etc, bring new to the game.
If the m-12 capacity is increased the DoT from heavy msl's will be considerable from a frigate point of view but not extreme.
As it stands a cruiser doesn't have a fat chance against a couple(one?) of frigs armed with cruisers - they are fast ,can approach target web/scramble ,keep the distance while firing away... msl's don't touch them and drones can be put down quickly with some well aimed shots, not to mention not every cruiser has (considerable) drones or launchers.
EDIT:Frigs are currently too easy to replace considering the damage they do with cruisers msl's (maybe with the exception of interceptor atm)and it's too easy to get the skills.
