Ship mounted rockets are weapon systems that fire self-projecting warheads at a target ship. They include: Assault Rockets: They are usually carried by fighters and other small ships, to serve as anti-ship weapons. They are powered by a brief fusion reaction which causes them to fly even faster than torpedoes. Unlike torpedoes, however, assault rockets are not guided missiles. They rely on their tremendous speed to hit their target before it can dodge away. A ship can carry only a limited supply, so when a fighter runs out, it has to dock at an Assault Carrier to be reloaded.
