The Rocket Launcher V is a long-ranged missile constructing unit that creates explosive missiles using ARG. These missiles can miss their target (due to very small inaccuracy) and sometimes have to come back around in such an event, making this unit not perfectly reliable in dishing out immediate damage (though this should rarely be an issue).

The Rocket Launcher is one of the best fire support weapons out there. Using ARG payload missiles has obvious benefits to simple projectiles and blasters.

1. It is explosive based, giving it a high damage radius.
2. The munition can be placed as a payload, allowing it to be used in rockets which use “fuel” and maneuverability to vastly increase this unit's range.
3. It strictly uses ARG for combat munition rather than energy. This can be extremely useful in energy tight situations and ARG is rather abundant as a resource, suppressing the need for ARG fabrication and thus, this unit is energy free.

• Very long ranged.
• High damage per rocket.
• Semi-guided rockets.
• Damages mesh (0.35 per rocket).
• Moderate reload time.
• 7.5 ARG per rocket (non-ERN'ed).
• Independently fires and reloads 2 rockets.
• Rockets can be shot down by Lancers.
• Can dock an ERN.
• Benefits from all ERN Port upgrades.
• Benefits from being on elevated terrain (moderate range increase just like the Mortar)
• Quite ammo hungry.

{VPAC SETTING_CONTEXT} Rift Lab users have grown fond of making these launchers in mass among their fortresses. Though they have done so to the point they over use them, making fortresses not massively abundant with ARG a joke against the VCS, hence why you typically always face against fortifications swimming in ARG and with lots of Rocket Launchers.
