== Overview ==

An enhanced chaff-based missile countermeasure system by [[User:Wyvern|Wyvern]], based on Thargoid's [[AMS_OXP|AMS]] and Ramirez's [[Missiles_and_Bombs|Chaff Dispenser]].

The system is available at Tech Level 12+ planets, for 2500 credits. Reloads are available from Tech Level 5+ planets for only 500 credits.

== Features ==

* Chaff packages are deployed from a reloadable 25-round magazine. Magazines are reloaded to full, with a cash refund on any unused ammo. Ammo load seems high, but you'll be glad of the extra if your ECM/ACS/Analyzer breaks.
* A chaff ammo counter is visible on the manifest (F5-F5) screen, you also get a HUD message on launch and emergence from witchspace.
* Smart Countermeasure Selection & Failsafe Modes: ACS is designed with failsafe features.
* In normal operation, it triggers the ECM when standard and Military class missiles are detected, and deploys chaff for all other missiles and torpedoes.
# In case of the Analyzer being damaged, ACS uses both ECM and chaff for all hostile missiles.
# If out of chaff, ACS attempts to pop all missiles with the ECM.
# If ECM is damaged and ammo remains, ACS falls back to chaff for all hostile missiles.
* Panic Mode: When no countermeasure is available due to damage and/or empty magazine, ACS engages "Panic Mode", sending a warning to the Commander to use manual skills to shake the missile.

== Required Equipment ==

To use this system you need to have installed the [[Missile_Analyser|Missile Analyser]], to determine whether to use chaff or ECM. An [[E.C.M._System|ECM system]] is also required for installation.

== Useage Tips ==

# The Commander is strongly advised to never let his/her/it's manual missile evasion skills go to rust. Murphy never sleeps, and this system is not 100% effective. YMMV.
# ACS is great for salvo-fired missiles. The more missiles in flight, the better the chances the chaff will stop them. However, chaff can affect your missiles too.
# The chaff is designed to lure missiles away from your ship. It works better at a distance, and may not distract missiles fired at point-blank ranges.
# ACS can operate as a stand-alone product, or as a backup or compliment to the AMS.
