|The first problem is that although both systems function by delivering damage at a distance, the turret's primary effectiveness is based in the blaster, while the launcher's primary effectiveness is based in the rocket. And it is very hard to compare the tracking speed, optimal range and falloff of the one with the flight time, explosion radius and explosion speed of the other. In addition, the chart cannot take into account the ability of the pilot to keep the blaster within tracking range on the one hand, and the ability of the pilot to evade damage while the rockets travel to the target on the other. Consequently, the decision to use rockets over blasters or vice-versa should not depend on a comparison of the two weapons systems, but rather on a comparison of pilot and ship abilities. Does your ship have bonuses for one  type of system or the other? Is it better suited for an armor tank (''blasters'') or shields (''rockets'')? And does the pilot have roughly the same skills in rockets as in blasters? The bottom line: don't waste time debating over weapons systems. Improve your skills, find a ship that matches, and then find the right fit for that ship. || {{example | As an example, consider the T2 Caldari [[Hawk]] Assault Frigate.
