I read the rules on missiles and rockets again this week and couldn't believe a few of the things I read. Tell me know any of you have changed things or if you actually play with the rules as written. Maybe I'm missing something. I noticed that the cost of the disposable launcher costs twice what the fragmentation rockets cost! To me that's just rediculous. I think they should cost 500. Also comparing the rules for firing rockets compared to missiles. With missiles you use heavy weapons plus the intelligence of the missile (max 3). If firing a rocket you use heavy weapons plus agility. This way, unless you have a very low agility you'd be better off using rockets. Am I missing something?
