Missile racks
From MegaTravellerWiki
COACC provides rocket pods on p.58, but they don't meld well with the missile construction system. A revised, rebalanced, and diversified series of pods, carriages, and missile racks are presented here, including the base pod types listed in COACC with appropriate revisions to their statistics.

- Wt is in kilograms (t); 1 000 kilograms are equal to one tonne (t). E Wt is empty weight, L Wt is weight when fully loaded with a full "pack" of the corresponding ordnance.
- Vol is in litres (L); 1 000 litres are equal to 1 kilolitre (kL). 1 kL is exactly equivalent in dimension to 1 cubic metre (m³).
- Cost is in credits (Cr), and only lists the price of the launcher itself.
- Entries suffixed with an asterisk denote items which were not wholly derived from existing Traveller material and are thus considered non-canonical.
- Data suffixed with two asterisks has special rules; readers should review the relevant section.

Underloading
Pods and carriages may be deliberately loaded with fewer numbers of missiles or rockets than their capacity. This allows an appropriate decrease in the loaded weight. However, carriages and pods cannot be loaded with different sizes of ordnance other than the size for which they are rated.
There is no cost decrease for underloading a pod; the full-sized pod must still be purchased.
Intermediate Pods
At the referee's discretion, intermediate-size pods can be purchased that provide capacities between the provided figures. Unloaded weight should be equal to the higher pod size. Cost and volume are then prorated according to linear interpolation between the higher pod size and the lower pod size. Loaded weight is simply equal to empty weight plus the pack size times the ordnance weight.
Under no circumstance may a pod be created that contains fewer than the minimum pod size on the table, nor may a pod be created that is larger than the largest pod size on the table.
