Rocket Launcher

Rocket Launchers are inexpensive metal-only fixed defenses.

Base statistics

Property	Value
Structural integrity	2,500
Shield	25
Attack	100

These are base values before research. Structural integrity is not battle hull: combat uses one tenth of integrity. Defenses remain at the station where they are built.

Construction

Resource	Base cost per unit
Metal	2,500
Crystal	0
Deuterium	0

Requirements: Shipyard 1.

Material Physics reduces the resource price. Use the construction screen for the modified quote and timer.

Use and limitations

Cruisers, Bombers and Deathstars have strong rapidfire against them. Use them as part of a tested defense, not a promise that a large resource stockpile is safe.

Deathstar	300

Rapidfire is a chance of another shot after a hit, not a guaranteed number of kills. See rapidfire and test important matchups in the simulator.
