If you want something done right, do it yourself. And with a rocket launcher

It’s never really emphasized after the brief bit of tutorial in which it’s introduced, but the rocket launcher is one of the most underrated pieces of gear in your arsenal. Yes, it requires Majima leaving the captain’s wheel to fire, but given just how much range it has, using the rockets as a bespoke sniper rifle has more utility than you think, especially later on when you start seeing ships with depth charges, and distance is much more at a premium. By that point, as well, you should have Majima’s grappling hook, which gives you a grapple point on your ship up to the crow’s nest, where you can get an even better view.
