Summary

Ever since the missile patch, rockets have performed terrible. This is mainly due to their low explosion velocity (85m/s), while rockets are almost always fit to frigate sized ships and used to fire at frigate sized targets.

Solution

Drastically increase the explosion velocity of all rockets. Rockets are a niche combat system, mostly used by new players and on a select (and impopular) small hull T2 ships. As such this change will mostly benefit new players and hopefully fix the impopularity of the affected T2 ships somewhat, without being a serious risk of imbalance.

Pros

• Rockets wont suck as much
• Ships using rockets may not suck as much either (Flycatcher, Heretic, Hawk, Vengeance, etc)

Cons

• None
