I dont get it. For a rocket to start dealing dmg to big 2000/10% asteroid you need around 21 lvl upgrade, let alone another 5-7 to actually damage and destroy an asteroid. Aren't these numbers insane for just a trip to Aquilo? Do you need quality rockets or nukes to destroy big asteroids? I havent tried it yet, since I do math before trying and the numbers are not comforting.

I was using rockets to get to Aquilo. Huge asteroids are a different story though.

Without doing the math, I can tell you that you've miscalculated something. Regular rockets do fine against big asteroids.

Oooooooooh, I'm an idiot. Physical dmg is not explosion dmg, and 2000 is a physical resist... Thanks everyone.
