Destroid Pilot O.C.C.

The Destroid pilot is the elite grunt of the Robotech Defense Force.  This character is trained in the operation of the most formidable,  frontline, assault and defense mechanism ever devised by mankind; the  Destroid. These 50ft metal giants are non-transformable Battloids, pack- ing more firepower than ten tanks. See Destroid descriptions.

The Destroid pilot is the only O.C.C. that formally trains the character  to pilot all non-transformable Mecha. After the initial training, the  character receives Mecha combat training in two, specific types of  Destroids (choose two). This training provides the pilot with maximum  combat abilities. Additional Mecha combat can be selected without  limit. Thus, a character may be adept in the piloting of all five Destroids.  Each additional Mecha combat skill counts as one skill.

In addition to the O.C.C. skills listed with their bonuses, the player  can select "Other" skill areas. These additional skills are limited only  as stated.
