Okay today I was tinkering with some rocket launchers, and found to my delight that I was getting 31 and 32 uses. Tracked through the assembly and found out how I did it. I also realized if I focused more on this I might be able to ratchet it up much further. The drawback is that it will affect the damage on my rocket launchers.
So the question is this. If anyone else has focused out the uses on a rocket launcher, and are they even in demand with commandos. Do they prefer haveing more uses, and less damage, or do they truely want the higher damage speed.?

The demand for rocket launchers seems rather small, as a swordsman with a power hammer or pistoleer/commando with a launcher pistol can take out turrets just as fast as a commando with a rocket launcher.
The main selling point on rocket launchers is their extremely high damage, and I'd bet that a max-damageRL would have more total potential damage than one with max charges or partial experimentation on both damage and charges.

My average rocket launcer is 1300ish-3700ish, in that range, 33 use and I am only a 10 point smith. If you decide to stock them on your vender stock crates and singles.They tend to sell in waves. I can go a month without selling one at all then the next month I can't hardly keep them in stock.

Well what you guys said still dosent answer my question too much. It sounds like neither or you have gone down the increased charge range yourselves. I am a discount seller so I am pretty sure either variation will sell. My real question is there a market for this sort of thing. Since almost everyone focuses on the damage. I Personally have never seen a rocket launcher with more then thirty three charges.
Anyone done a charge focused model, and have an idea whether they are in demand or not.

I made 20 RLs that were 3536max damage and 47 use
and 60 RLs that were 3862 max damage and 34 use testing the demand out.
The 34 use RL's sold out in 2 days. The 47 use RLs were still on the vendor after 2 weeks. I dropped the price 10k and it took another 3 weeks to sell them all, and in that time I sold another 80 38xx max damage 34 use RL's.
So it is my believe they prefer Damage over Uses/Ham.
