The Rocket is a one shot weapon that will greatly increase your speed and
thrust when fired. Blue flames will emerge out of your exhaust, causing your ship
to boost forward with immense speed, leaving any other ship behind you. The rocket
will last for only a couple of seconds ; your ship will fly at normal speed again
when it stops. The rocket can be obtained by collecting
greens.
The rocket is good for escaping tight situations, when you are about to get hammered in a few seconds. Find a way out using your radar, fire your rocket and boost to safety. Beware though, your speed will be too high to steer your ship properly. If a minefield is up ahead, you won't be able to evade it, and you will have very little time to warp to your portal or repel the mines away. Also beware of any asteroids or other obstacles. If you hit one of these while rocketing out, you will bounce back, only to stumble around like a drunk driver until your rocket wears off. You will also smack into whatever your enemies are shooting after you, putting you in an even worse situation that you were in before rocketing. On the offensive side, rockets can quickly kill lots of pilots when used properly. Move away from a crowded place, fire your rocket, and start flying back towards the crowd, continuously firing bombs as you go. The bombs will have their normal speed, plus the speed of your rocket, turning them into mortal projectiles from hell. You will be flying straight into a dangerous place full of baddies, and since your low on energy you probably won't stay alive long there. Make sure you have a portal set at a safe spot to warp back to when things get too hot. In Warzone games, rockets are useful to quickly get to a new base for your flags, or to escape from the 30 people chasing you, trying to steal flags that you are carrying. Ofcourse you can use the rocket to get closer to an enemy flag carrier to be able to pound him with your guns. With all of these things, watch out where you're going. Hit an obstacle once, and whatever you were doing (escaping or chasing) will fail miserably. |
