Fry an egg in seconds. In fact, fry anything in seconds. Sadly there's no possibility of blue-hot stock radiators, but now you can use minimum size radiators on every launcher ever.  |

I wonder if ramshackle homemade spacecraft use reactor waste heat to cook food.

Probably. An age-old field expedient among armored vehicle crewmen in the real world is to use engine heat to cook food.

Well, the Launch Velocity is really mediocre, but for small payloads (sub 10kg Micromissiles/drones to light sub 500kg variants of the same) you can compensate by dumping more power into the launcher. |

Given that strategic missiles launches all align to a formation, and tactical launches go nose first, launch velocity shouldn't matter too terribly much for missiles. Maybe it bears more weight for flares or other specialty munitions |

The launcher's rate of fire is limited by the time it takes for each munition to clear the launcher at launch velocity.
Launch velocity is important if you want to be able to spit out huge numbers of missiles very quickly. Also for combat-launching drones, if they have high aspect-ratio radiators.

launchers auto-deploy all pending launches when you exit the fleet view

launchers auto-deploy all pending launches when you exit the fleet view Vege specifically mentioned how important RoF is to combat usage of launchers. This isn't the first time I've noticed this behavior- replies that are irrelevant or ignore the contributions of others. |
