I downloaded a suggested Stiletto fit from one of the large alliances. It suggested a rocked launcher with "defenders" to defend against missiles.

Cant find any such rockets. Is there such an animal?

thanks,

technically they are light or heavy missile defenders look under that section

T3's need to be versatile so no rigs are necessary ... they should not have OP dps and tank

ABC's should be T2, remove drone assist, separate HAM's and Torps range, -3 HS for droneboats

Seems you can't fit defender missiles in Rocket Launchers though, you'll need Missile Launchers.

Undocumented changes from CCP... Not even ccp care about defenders as they have a very limited use :-)

Back in the days we only had 1 type of defenders and they could fit in any launcher

Shooting Guided missiles in a unguided missille launcher system does sound a bit strange, My gues would be it works as it's intended.

Rockets (and Heavy Assault Missiles and Torpedoes) are "unguided" missiles (although they do seem to track moving ships quite nicely); Defenders will only work in guided missile systems (Light Missile, Rapid Light Missile, Heavy Missile, Cruise Missile).
