Can Rocket Launchers hit multiple targets?



Well, I just want to know.


I saw something today around 12PM est noon in Theed, Bloodfin server. It is kind of funny actually.


I went to theed cause I was hunting a mark. So I was waiting at the spaceport. I'm waiting for my seeker to find which direction my Investigation mark is going to. I heard a couple of Imps and neutrals outside talking about this pet. They were saying "That pet is so cool!!!", "Nice pet", "Wow what a great looking pet". So naturally I went out of the spaceport to look at the pet. It was a giant turtle called Ravenous Torton. CL 32 with some very high resists. So there were 4 imps and a couple of neutrals admiring the pet. Everyone was saying that pet is going to kick butt. Everyone just like the pet cause it is unique and pretty tough. Then all of a sudden, the big giant Ravenous torton screamed of pain. So I clicked on it and noticed that its HAM is gone. I looked around and the 4 Imps were dead. There was no explosion or any kind of animation.So I said to myself WT H just happened. The neutrals were all shocked. I was shocked. Everyone was asking, what just happened. I was shouting WT H just happened. Then one rebel walked by with a cowardly gurreck on his side and just started DBing everyone. At this point I was still screaming WT H just happened. I wasn't able to look at the Rebel's weapon. My seeker droid found my NPC mark so I went to the spaceport and left the place. So naturally Commando profession came to my mind.


Can someone explain to me what happened? What kind of weapon can kill multiple targets at once. What kind of weapon was that? Don't tell me it was LLC. There are hardly any Master BH. Besides LLC projectile can be seen from a mile. It even says so in the description. Also Lightning Cone is broke right now. I know it was you guys. I need to know the secret. ANyone have any idea?

go away.


i didn't read your post.


i don't read anything posted by -TAKEDOWN- anymore.


but i would probably guess that the best response to your post would be, "you don't make any sense, what are you talking about?"


is that ok?

Uh... yeah... right...


If you're asking "How did a Commando drop a group of unsuspecting Imperials in one invisible shot?" the answer is simple: Flamethrower Cone and lag.


First, there is an effect where, if you kill your targeted enemy in the first shot, the shot will not animate properly, effectively making your shot invisible. It doesn't happen all the time, but often enough to notice.


Second, a Commando's Cone specials are effectively the only method we have of attacking a group. LLC Cone works identically as Commando Cone attacks (by the way, you're mistaken - LLC works almost perfectly, and none of its foibles would have affected the situation I think you described). Flamer Cone 2 would have an excellent chance of dropping the imperials at once, and Flamer Cone 1 would have a pretty good shot.


To really answer your question, though, in theory, yes, rocket launchers do have a blast radius, but that feature doesn't appear to be functioning properly on any of our weaponry.

but the odds of hitting a group of people with only 1 rocket is insanely impossible, even for a master commando....but a RL has a damage radius of 8m I believe....maybe more
