Rocket Launcher
The Rocket Launcher is the cheapest and most spammable defence structure. In large quantities they are effective against fighter swarms, but Bombers fire at them with rapid fire ×20, making them poor long-term investments against Bomber fleets.

Tips
10,000 Rocket Launchers provide significant deterrence against casual attackers. They're so cheap that spamming them is viable as a first layer.
At 2,000 metal each, rebuilding losses after a raid costs very little. Rocket Launchers are the most cost-efficient "sacrifice" defence.
A fleet of Bombers will shred Rocket Launchers in seconds. Don't rely solely on Rocket Launchers against experienced attackers.
After a battle, 70% of destroyed defence structures rebuild automatically (on some servers). Rocket Launchers are the cheapest to trigger this on.
