Today we're looking at a no longer available limited release niode missile launcher the Rocket Roll. All pertinent information is contained in the image and again was a limited availability weapon for levels 22 and up. As usual we'll be looking in the same weapon family at the weapons closest below, and above in levels to compare it with.
The weapon beneath it in level is the Advanced Fury Rack, available to levels 15 and up. It sports 18 straight damage, a speed of 91, and the weapon ability of Fork at 60%. The Rocket Roll has damage beat, as well as speed, and even though it has two weapon abilities they honestly don't match up to a Fork ability at 60%.
Above it level wise is the Black Rain missile launcher available to pilots level 25 and up. That has 31 straight damage, a speed of 92, and a weapon ability of Fork at 60% also. Again the Rocket Roll has the straight damage and speed advantages but honestly it just can not beat another weapon with an ability set at 60%.
All in all the Rocket Roll is a fine weapon with respectable straight damage, as well as speed but it simply can not compete with either weapon it is listed here with seeing as it has half the weapon ability of the other two, and that is with factoring in a secondary weapon ability that it has at 3% for 2X damage. It's a decent weapon in and of itself but lets face it readily available weapons with Fork abilities at 60% makes this weapon lose out every time.
