    Here's a thought - consider making a rocket launcher that fits into the slot for HS launcher, but fires just an additional regular rocket, instead a swarm of HS rockets.

    This would be just a sort of an additional "barrel" for regular rockets, like a "double arrow" firing perk, or even simpler, a double-barrel shotgun, seen in many other mmo games. Important thing to say is that this "new-old weapon" would be interesting because it can't be used in combo with HS launcher, so you have an option - either this or that ;) and, of course, you can put a HS launcher in your second configuration.

    In short, the idea is a choice between a HS launcher and another regular rocket launcher :)

    NOTE: All bonuses that apply to the built-in regular rocket would apply to the additional one as well, no changes in current reload rate, damage or anything else - what applies to the first rocket, applies to the second/additional one as well. (just imagine having an option to add another "desert eagle" to your left hand, so you have one in each hand, instead of one "desert eagle" in right hand and a slow-charging grenade launcher in left ;) )

    Please leave only constructive criticism, thank you!

    Had to read it a few times but I get you, so you can fire say two 3030 rockets at once and not having a rocket launcher active, as such.

    Sounds a neat idea tbh, reload time I guess goes hand in hand with normal rockets and the rocket boost CPU and the premium rocket boost?

    Yes, but remember, you must choose between regular or HS launcher, you cant have both (except in case of citadel, but it's lack of lasers sort of compensates for that)
     
  4. Like this idea. Will give us more options to customize our ships! And I'm sure this would be nice to have for pvp.
     
  5. I am still waiting on a rocket launcher slot for the P.E.T.
     
  6. That would be to overpowered..
     
  7. This would be over powered, no people who have premium already fire rockets extremely fast, and those who have pilot bio high enough with rocket fusion already do more than enough rocket damage

    You cant have both HS launcher and the one I'm proposing at the same time ;)

    Also, you are right in one thing - premium players fire rockets too fast! I think the premium rocket speed boost should be removed completely, because it gives a totally unfair damage advantage to the premium players!
     
  9. Ah ok no HS launcher that is a lot better and removes some of that rocket damage.
     
  10. then why would i get premium?

    Is THAT the only reason you would buy premium???

    Seriously, it has nothing to do with free PET reps, 5% uri discount on all stuff in shop, free drone reps, shorter log-out time, shorter skylab-transport time, etc. Do you really buy premium just for double-double rocket speed???
     
  12. @Jack you said "the premium rocket speed is an unfair advantage". Note that when you go to purchase premium it is under the "advantage packs" tab. Premium members are paying to have this advantage..

    Yes, that's my opinion, however, it's not the part of my idea, so lets make another thread to discuss that issue. In fact, a poll would be much more suitable for it ;)
