Sorry, I meant heavy bombardment. The manual say its issue is to adapting artillery-focus unit into flyable. Ahhh, that makes a lot of sense. I'm guessing the huge energy draw from the Calamity's weapons such would make flight difficult. Although, Aegis also had a Scylla cannon but had the advantag...

It's interesting they mention having a hard time making Calamity fly due to its weight, iirc both Raider and Forbidden have a very similar weight of around 85 tons.

Thanks for the information on the RGM-79F Railguns. So if they were repurposed Naval Weapons does that mean the older Salamis or its predecessor was using railguns prior to the introduction of Mega Particle Cannons?

Regarding railguns in UC is there any information out there regarding the railgun / railcannon used by the Desert GM and the Land Combat GM from MSV? Both share the RGM-79F model number. I recall hearing that railguns were developed by Yashima industries as a stopgap while the Federation was still m...

It's been a longtime since I've read Starship troopers, I realize I've never seen the Studio Nue adaptation so I'll have to check it out and see how it compares with the book.

Interesting, do you recall which source describes Psycommu waves as density changes of Minovsky particles? Ah I now I understand what you mean regarding regular sensors picking up when Minvosky Particles have reached combat density. Interesting theory on Funnels/Bits only working for NT patterns the...

I'll give it a shot, the first part certainly had its shortcoming but I'm hoping the next part will turn into a fun popcorn series like Geass R2 was

Cool, thank you for checking!

Biosensor is very unstable and not really suitable for combat. I liken it to putting the unstable part of cyber NTs to the machine but the damage potential against the pilot is still there(see Kamille) I don't know it seemed to work pretty well for Scirocco and Kamille. In supplemental material it ...

December to February roundup Core Rules updated to Version 8.8. -Design focus on cutting down on mental math -Streamlined movement rules for Stellar Warfare -Pilot Traits & Weapons rebalance -UI adjustments to make Mecha Unit Profiles easier to read -Added in a SRW module for small games of 2v2,...

Ah gotcha, yeah I'm familiar with all the main beats there I just didn't know if Gihren or perhaps Kycillia had any specific propaganda regarding Newtypes, since Newtypes themselves were treated as something of a superstition prior to and during the OYW. I suppose awareness of Newtypes was limited j...

EP 32 - Burning (God) Gundam vs Neros Gundam Finally a chance to see Zebra Gundam fight, by polevaulting into the air and hiding behind its shield reminds me of several of the shield decoy tricks Amuro used in the original series. We also get to see Burning Finger used at a range, apparently long en...

Master Archive doesn't describe Dr. Kurst Moses as hating Newtypes. It's not discussed directly, but to me it seems likely that his growing fear of Marion Welch's abilities was shaped in part by the Principality of Zeon's own rhetoric about Newtypes. Perhaps hate was a strong word, but the fear and...

Interesting, I first came across the Blue Destiny in the 2000s and I wish I had had a sega saturn to play it. Back then as I recall the Dr was 'Chuust' Moses, but I think Kurst is more fitting (and funny) name. The original manga sidestory was pretty decent, but unfortunately was cancelled before it...

Very interesting, I'm curious how much new information will be in the EXAM Master Archive and how many potential retcons it will have. I know the reboot manga has already changed a few things, along with a plethora or new MS variants to sell model kits. As for why don't we see Anti Newtype weapons i...

R.I.P. to an incredible creator. I'll always be grateful for Harlock, Galaxy Express and its associated works.

Interesting, didn't know how many similarities there were between Moon Crisis and Unicorn. As for anti-Newtype systems EXAM was the first and most iconic one, the Psychic Miasma given out by Marion's spirit would be an intense and malevolent 'pressure' that other Newtype feel, although that was more...

Ah I see what you mean, so basically they can combat load in the hangar/storage but have no actual ability to do technical maintenance or provide power/cooling for Mobile Suits that are in a non-operational status.

Gundam Octopus?? Now that's not what I've heard before, if it's Greece I wonder if its a reference to to Scylla & Charybdis. I was surprised quite a bit with the Neo Denmark plotline where they couldn't afford to repair their Gundam. Then in the finale they mass produced the Mermaid Gundam, asid...

EP 25 - Recap episode. Still not sure why a fire punch was effective against falling rocks or water instead of the preexisting cyclone punch. EP 26 - First episode of the new arc, seems they are regressing Domon's character development a bit, I suppose to match up with mastering a new Mobile Suit. E...
