The battery cannon adjustable weapon platform gets its first addition with the guided and unguided rocket pods. These new weapons bring the feel of barrage cannons to the adjustable weapon category with the small scale of the battery. Both weapons match the firepower of the heavy battery cannons.
The unguided rocket pods hit harder than a battery but their low speed and poor accuracy means they'll be most effective at short ranges against heavy ships. The guided rocket pods are far weaker than battery cannons but can be aimed midair.
The guided rocket pods should be much more versatile than their unguided counterpart at the cost of damage when used most effectively. Both weapons are unlocked along with their turreted counterparts as part of Barrage Weaponry Research and the seeker cannon quest "A Mysterious Weapon".
