Words cannot accurately describe how magical and joyous it was when I went into the little newbie mission and found that all of the boring old pots had been replaced by tiny rockets. This needs to be the new standard throughout Cradle, for reasons described below. Despite the silly tone, this suggestion is quite serious.

- Tiny rockets fit with the sci-fi theme of Spiral Knights much better than pots.

- Their function is identical, but they look a million times cooler.

- Pads that produce pots infinitely in battlefields that obviously don't need pottery (for any other reason than throwing) make much less sense than pads that produce little rockets.

- IMF would have flying rockets that don't kill you for a change, which everyone would love.

- An entire party carrying them and unleashing them on a wave of enemies before charging in would be glorious. Ineffective, but GLORIOUS.

- Just say it. Rocket pot. How much better is that? Answer: No answer is sufficient to say how much better that is. Certain knights may also experience giggles by calling them pot rockets, which is fine too.

- New Knights will have the trauma of downgrading from ROCKET POTS (thunder!) to regular old throwing jugs in the main game, which will break their little hearts. This will leave them bitter and cause them to beg for money in Haven or make posts in the forum complaining about the price of energy.

- It would just be awesome. The newbie mission was one of the best moments I've ever had in the year+ that I've been playing, right up there with the first day of Lockdown, The Silent Legion, and running FSC and Shadow Lairs the first time. The Zelda nostalgia from the pots is nice, but the joy of a little pocket rocket flying through the air made me forget, for a moment, that I needed to run FSC twelve more times to save up for something and that energy was trending higher lately and that I needed to remove an obnoxious person from our guild when I got done.

Please give this suggestion your love and support. Together, we can help the rocket pots proliferate throughout the world and start a glorious new life together.

I second Jen's recommendation

I second Jen's recommendation of keepin' pots.

Rockets aren't gonna spill oil, or set oil on fire. Trust me, I tried.

The pots are like a subtle reference on the fact that Spiral Knights is a lot like LoZ. Even if they are kinda just there.

While I love the rocket pots,

While I love the rocket pots, they shouldn't replace every single pot. For one thing, they wouldn't fit thematically in the haunted locations (graveyards, Scarlet Fortress stages, Candlestick Keep stages, and FSC), "natural" locations (wolver dens, lichenous lairs, Aurora Isles stages, the Gloaming Wildwoods, and maybe Jigsaw Valley stages), or Royal Jelly Palace. I support adding rocket pots to any stage where they wouldn't look out of place, though.

add rocket pots in mechanized mile. fits the whole machinerry theme. leave the pots in the other places. the only pot that should be removed would be that pot that u just throw and all it does is 10 damage. it's only there for fliping switches when u dont have a gun. the liquid and fire pot should stay. there pretty useful.
