So I am now messing around with my unguided rockets thank to the update, and it's a lot of fun when my horde of rockets rip though the target ship.
Yet I am having a head time that I can't aim my drone's rocket blast launcher toward the target, making it suffer from poor accuracy.
So question arise: how I can aim the blast launcher (on a drone) toward my target precisely so that I can score hits? Do your guys have any ideas about it?

Put a fixed-mount gun with identical travel time next to the blast launcher and let the broadside order handle aiming for you. It's still not perfect since fixed-mount gun aiming doesn't work too well either, but it gets you something. Plus, you'll end up with some error if your rockets don't have ridiculous acceleration. You can manually adjust the muzzle velocity so that it matches the blast launcher exactly on the launcher's engagement range, but even that is not totally foolproof, since relative velocity of the ships will throw the 'zeroing' off.

Oh thx! I already wonder why you can do that as you share videos of your weapons  |

Actually, it's kinda similar to how Onto aimed its 6 recoilless cannons with 6 .50 cal aiming gun for trajectory guesstimating. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M50_OntosSometimes, history repeats, sometimes it also repeats awesomely! |
