When firing off lots and lots of rockets, like a Ragnarok with 3x suns and 2x Jackhammers, about 90% of the time at least one set of rockets will fail to engage its engine. This causes one or two rockets to coast at the speed of the ship, and lag very far behind the rest of a volley.

I noticed it mostly when i was docking at high speeds and unloaded my Ragnarok into the dock for fun...

Duplicated this about every other time tonight in the B8 cap fight. My load out was

Ragnarok mkiii
1x mkii Rail gun
2x sunflares
1x jackhammer
1x screamer

I would unload everything except the rails into the serco constellation and about every other time one set of rockets would fail to engage its engines.

EDIT : Couldn't find the original thread but if you have a three port ship like a valkyrie with an empty center port, but weapons on the side ports, an issue with port layout occurs after hitting rebuy. The valkyrie will be outfitted with the same weapons as before but not in the same location. The center and left ports will be filled and the right port left empty instead of the center.

Seems that rebuy purchases the weapons in an order and doesnt actually place them into ports. If equipping a valk pressing purchase on weapons will equip the ports in this order. Center Left and then Right.

I've had the same issue with my quad flare hornet. sometimes they shoot off at ship speed, and sometimes they appear to fire off at neutron speed, it's happened only a couple times so i thought i was hallucinating till you posted this iry

looks like the ones that shoot off at ship speed, dont, they fire off at their launch speed the same as targeted swarms do, and i had another fire off at super high velocity. Do i have to stop useing flares now till this is fixed?

Hmm. We outsourced rocket production to Corvus, but it looks like they have quality control issues.

That's what you get for shopping at the black market...

a1k0n, this is still happening....

Its always been the case, I'm sure I could dig threads up about this. But sometimes they go faster than they should too.

In the year I've been playing, and using centaur's heavily, it has only just become noticeable. It really sucks too when 1, 2 or more out of 12 are duds.

I've never seen a dud explode either, it just seems to coast off on its way....

ive had duds explode, on strike force chaseing me. I'd bet it's some kind of lag based issue, but the rockets when they fly too slow, seem to go at whatever they would if i wasen't moving and launched them. sometimes however they shoot off at near railgun like velocity, haven't hit anything that way yet, so no idea if they even can explode.
