Increase the heat - especially the ghost heat - of rockets!

I can fire 135 AND 50MRM just inside the thermal budget of my archer.

135 rockets in the back insta-kill even heavies. Griefers welcome!

A few things already balance this.

1) How often does your Archer sneak up on an enemy undetected? More likely your best opportunity will be to save the rockets until the match degenerates to a brawl. Once an enemy starts to circle plug their back.
2) Rockets are single shot only. Your Archer will only have that high an alpha strike once per match.
3) Rockets are a spread and stream weapon, not pinpoint. You won't put all the damage on the same hitbox in a typical combat scenario.

Even with the option of a rockets+MRM combo. I think I'd still choose UltraAC20s and quad SRM6A combos when used in the same circumstances.
