So as we all know, the rocketeer ability is not very good, but i've come up with a couple of ideas, (with some help from kaiser).

 

Give the rocketeer a projectile speed increase (50% just throwing numbers out there, I know charged heat would go fast), since all of the weapons are projectile. Either have like a grenadier with ability on a timer or keep the turret mode (with turret mode, maybe remove damage increase from the back, and keep the 40% reduction from front). With this, Hellfires would be slightly better and other weapons like seeker would not be so bad. What do you guys think, too underpowered?

Don't want projectile speed to be limited to turret mode or an ability. It should be universal to the mech to just make the Rocketeer worth using in a competitive match.

It's Hellfires that need the buff. Don't buff it through the ability.

You're not wrong on the HFs, but the rocky's ability is garbage and could use a rework anyway.

still the other weapons could benefit from the buff, seekers and eoc specifically, also would a turret mode or an ability be preferred.

He's saying that hellfires need a rework, not the primaries.

so buff eoc, seeker, hellfires, and heat cannon? why not buff and add the ability, so it can go ham while ability is up and still do work without

yea yea i get it, there are 10000 other rocketeer topics on the forums, but commenting on one of those posts wont get my idea out at all and its not like im suggesting the exact same thing.

this is not enough, because it is still not working.

Air blitz or flying turret plz

[maxajcd]

Air blitz or flying turret plz

this wouldn't be so good because, the rocketeer doesn't work well at close range so blitzing above people wont work well, also aerial c classes are just giant targets. The rocketeer has bad dps and not great burst so this ability doesn't fit its play-style at all

maxajcd isnt open to it

[Anichkov3]

maxajcd. How much did you played enough hundreds of hours to Rocketeer? To talk about his fighting style ...

[ropefish]

i dont even think the deva can fix weapons yet... or im probably missing something

anyways! just for the ablity add multilock

weapon make it lazer guided or have a tracking dart of sorts and buff its stats.

[maxajcd]

maxajcd. How much did you played enough hundreds of hours to Rocketeer? To talk about his fighting style ...

Well its pretty much logical and about how the weapons and stats work, its not hard to determine the play style. Like i know that you aren't supposed to be sniping with a raider, or playing battle tech (unless thats your thing then you do you :P). You don't need hundreds of hours to know how something works.

This thread degenerated really fast

[TheFrostnessMonster]

This would be perfect. 

 

Just make it shoot a lot of them, with small damage for each rocket (like 1/4 of a single TOW), and a long recharge (40 seconds), and make it have a large QOE to make the Rocketeer into an area-of-denial mech.

By this logic, every person should create a new topic for every post. Because their idea isn't exactly the same as the others... and more people will read it if it's a new topic. 

 

Sorry, I know that's kind of dicky... but I think you can see my point.  What it really does is circumvent and negate all the points anyone else has ever made on the same subject - forcing them to have to retype the same thing they've already typed a dozen times if they want to contribute to the overall discussion.

Yes but the other rocketeer topics are about a single recommendation, and, by that logic we should just have 1 post that is called all and everyone replies to it.

[AxionOperandi]

Yeah, both need help but do them interdependently from each other.

this is not enough, because it is still not working.

IDK why but I laughed out loud when I read that.

If they finally overhauled the Hellfires into something useful we wouldn't have this problem now.

[GreyFa1con]

Or just give it greatly reduced fuel usage, and more air mobility for a couple seconds.
