Heavy Rockets are one of the most powerful missile weapons available, but at a price: instead of having a homing system, they simply fire straight forward and rely on a proximity trigger to set them off. Once triggered, however, they damage all ships within their blast radius, making them highly effective against clusters of fighters.
Pods enable fighters and other light craft to carry small quantities of rockets into battle while retaining enough space for other weapons. Large ships are better off with full-size launchers.
Ammunition for this weapon can be restocked at any outfitter.
