Space Age expansion exclusive feature.

The rocket turret is a powerful defensive building capable of firing rockets and explosive rockets at high range. It is unlocked with agricultural science packs which can be crafted on Gleba. The rocket turret has a minimum range, so it is best paired with other turrets that can pick off enemies who get too close. Its high range and damage make it particularly effective against large asteroids in space and stompers on Gleba. The turrets rotational speed is fairly slow.

Rocket turrets can fire all kinds of rocket ammo, including atomic bombs and capture bot rockets. However, when firing atomic bombs, rocket turrets do not get the usual range increase that the hand-held rocket launcher or spidertrons get. This means the turret will be very close to or inside of the blast radius.

When firing capture bot rockets, a rocket turret will exclusively target biter and spitter spawners, overriding any target priorities it may have. However, if a rocket turret empty on ammo is targeting a non-spawner enemy when it is loaded with capture rockets, then its first shot will fire on that enemy, wasting the capture bot rocket.

To one-shot big asteroids (except for promethium asteroids) with standard rockets, stronger explosives (research) level 23 is required.
