COACC is a Game Designers Workshop product.

• It is a source book designed for Classic Traveller.

Description (Specifications)

The army controls the ground!

The navy controls space!

But the interface between the two belongs to COACC — the fliers. Aircraft of all types — jets, props, helicopters, dirigibles — come under the Close Orbit and Airspace Command. COACC provides rules for fliers in the Traveller universe. Coverage includes character generation, COACC organization, aircraft design sequences, example aircraft, and air-to-air combat rules.

A detailed treatment of aircraft and the characters that fly them in MegaTraveller. This 98-page sourcebook includes:

• Character generation for flyers in MegaTraveller.
• Detailed analysis and description of the organization and operation of COACC, the definition of COACC responsibilities (...anything that uses wings is ours), the missions that COACC undertakes, who controls COACC, and mercenary COACC units.
• Aircraft design rules for producing and rating fixed-wing propeller and jet-propelled aircraft, rotary-wing aircraft (helicopters) and airships.
• Air combat rules for resolution of military encounters between airplanes. Both a hasty and a detailed system are included. Chapters address the types of ordnance and bombs that aircraft carry for attacks against other aircraft and for ground strikes.
• Tech Level tables showing the evolution of, and types of aircraft throughout the Imperium.
• Examples of aircraft (...including their design ratings and illustrations) are scattered throughout the text.
• The Eddum Campaign. A complete COACC campaign incorporating aircraft design and combat in a unique battle to win the hearts and minds of the people of Eddum to specific factions within the Rebellion
