rockets normally are used to add 'impact' right?

so is it just me or would swarms would be great if they had a terminal velocity about 4 x more than they have now? i know ive posted something similar before but the more i think about it the more great i think it would be.

right now, everything can outrun them, the only thing it is good for is knocking mercs on the head.

CCP have probably already corrected AV imbalance for future release, but i bet this gets missed.

if dropship pilots complain, give them countermeasures?

I like the idea but a even a mlt swarm can drop a drop ship if u hit the nose hell I lost 6ds to nose hit its weird but the ship just flips upside down to the point of no return lol before 1.7 a good sniper shot to the nose made you lose your balance

I do NOT miss when flaylock rockets could practically flip you upside down >_<

I wish this guy would post again to clarify whether he actually means more kinetic impact or more flight speed, because his post made it sound like he might be advocating for them to fly faster so you can't just outrun them.

As well as that, maybe he means more physical knockback on vehicals other than dropships. When was the last time you saw a tank swerve when taking a volley to the side? that might be cool but i dont think we should ask too much from ccp, getting good basic mechanics would b good. the new ragdoll **** has made some good moments tho'!
