AeroTech
AeroTech is a tabletop wargame published by FASA and set in the BattleTech universe. It simulates combat between aerospace fighters, troop-carrying DropShips, and interstellar JumpShips and WarShips. The name "AeroTech" defines space/air elements of BattleTech universe. There have been five revisions of these rules.
The first rule set was simply known as AeroTech and later referred to as AeroTech 1 or AT1. The AT1 release was a large introduction box set that could be played as a complete independent game that co-exists in the BattleTech universe, compatible with the regular ground game. The rule set introduced aerospace fighters (space/air-capable fighter craft), dropships, and jumpships.
Some individual information for dropships, aircraft, and aerospace fighters was listed in out-of-print books — Technical Readout: 2750, Technical Readout: 3025, Technical Readout: 3026, and Dropships and Jumpships (BattleTech) by Clare Hess (Paperback – April 1988). Expanded AT1 rules were also included in the first edition of Roleplaying Guidebook MechWarrior.
Due to balance problems, AT1 was replaced by an edition known as BattleSpace.
BattleSpace is the second edition to BattleTech's air and space rules. This rule set introduced principal rules for warships to the game. It came in a large introduction box like AeroTech, and included an extensive history of the universe up to 3057. Due rule changes, some aircraft/aerospace craft abilities were altered to the point of being rendered useless for gameplay.
A supplement information book was printed for individual vehicles used in the game. Now out of print Technical Readout: 3057.
The third edition of the Aerospace rules was based on BattleSpace rules. There were fewer rules to slow down gameplay. Additional new units were introduced to the games including new warships, aerospace fighters, and dropships. These new units were listed in Technical Readout: 3067 and Technical Readout: 3026 Revised.
AeroTech2 (or AT2) was one of the last rules sets FASA Corporation published before closing in 2001.
