OK question for you guys.

I have an L-6 which I just made to G5.

Faster reload [tested it, doesnt seem any faster :( ], stowed reloading, larger magazine as mods.

What could possibly be useful for a rocket launcher as the last mod?

Audio masking?!? Anyone tried it? Does it break logic and actually work? Hilarious if it can.

I would suspect @Codger is the main man for this!

I keep changing my avatar. Trying to find one that suits the name... can't get a decent image of the Tyres I stole the ID from :D

I have a rocket launcher. I've used it once. Killed myself. So my experience level with that weapon is small. However, I have seen multiple posts about Audio Masking on it.

Apparently, it does silence the shot itself, but not the resulting explosion. So...not very useful. :)

I Googled it for fun. So, here's Mr. Tyres himself, with his mechanic friend, I guess. You could certainly make an avatar out of it, eh? :p

Maybe long range so you have plenty of time to deal with the enemy as they charge towards you.

Possibly good for a diversion if the explosion is a long way from where you are.

I had a couple of those Tip Off messages telling me to go find something at a certain coordinate on a planet, investigated one, the lumpiest planet I ever saw, got as close as I could to land, got into the Scarab to get right on top of it, got out to look around, was it there, was it no. Damn you, mysterious stranger

*Edited as the profanity filter couldn't let me use a word that means male gonads

The coordinates given are for horizon (if you're on oddy they won't be valid) look for either a base or planetary wp with the blue mission marker that'll be the mission target.

Wasn't me officer! That guy must have blown himself up!

I doubt the damage/explosion has a range fall off and the current range is already longer than you can accurately aim the rocket. Dont think this one makes sense.

I am thinking about faster handling, so I can swap to the shotgun faster.

I know what you mean! I thought teeth would get shorter as dentistry over the years would reeduce their size :D

It's actually a reference to horses teeth which continue to grow throughout their lives.

I think that's on the right course, but off a bit too. I don't think the teeth get longer, but the gums recede, which has the same visual effect. But yes, it is an old-timey colloquialism in reference to a horse's age. Or is is an aphorism? Or maybe the teeth do get longer.

I'm up to 83% Deadly. Bringing up the rear, but finish line in sight. Been spending my time running sightseeing and criminal transport in the frosty Dolphin I just built. This is really slow for combat rank as it turns out.

Well I seem to remember seeing vets dealing with horses teeth with a very big file so I think they keep growing in domesticated horses, wild ones will do more grazing keeping them worn down.

Yes the Dolphin isn't the ideal ship for combat rank building, though extremely cold running does give you an edge as you are harder to keep locked.

Well it doesn't have weapons, so that is probably a root cause.

I don't know much about horses if I'm honest. Less about their teeth. My idle speculation was reckless and I withdraw my comment :)
