Large rockets are used by weapon launcher bays, weapon launcher turrets and vehicles. Although they are expensive and hard to mass produce, large rockets are extremely destructive against static or slow moving targets, and are often used for orbital bombardments.
Use
Large rocket units are consumed when loaded into a turret or vehicle, giving it a set number of rounds. When fired from a weapon bay the large rockets are consumed directly, amount depending on the size of the weapon.
- They are loaded into a vehicle or weapon launcher turret.
- This is done using the Ordnance menu.
- If the ordnance is changed, any remaining rounds in the weapon is lost.
- A weapon launcher bay uses the large rockets directly from the spacecraft's hold or city's inventory.
- A weapon launcher bay needs (Round(Weapon System units/90)+1) large rockets to launch a full salvo.
