Re: Aile or Sword Calamity?

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...

Re: Aile or Sword Calamity?

Maybe the reason for the attached backpack is to avoid issues with the Strike Packs. Mainly that you don't need to send out a different pack, because the attached weapons are enough. That being said the added weight of the armaments of the Aile unit may be why it is much harder to get airborne than...

I didnt find anything about weight in the kit manual, so the issue isnt weight.

Re: New Gundam Seed project; sequel movie, manga and more

I am pretty sure it is refered to the war in Seed. It is a more colloquial way of refering to the war it seems, not just this manga, I recall there other spin off materials also had characters refer to it as great war, though off hand I cant remember the specifics. I think its like how we refer to W...

Re: Repair Capabilities onboard a Musai or Chivvay

Could it be possible that post OYW the mech designs get more unified? There are unified plans for both the Federation and Zeon, also we rarely see OYW tech used in later conflicts involving older machines (for example during the "Walking War Museum" battle at Torrington, we mostly see uni...

Re: Mass Drivers?

rocket launch IRL tends to happen near equator for a few reasons, I guess the same should be true for mass drivers as well. High altitude like on a mountain is probbly beneficial too, but the logistics of building and operating what is essentially a space equivalent of airport might not be very easy...

Re: Genetic Modification in After Colony Verse

Re: The Dijeh in Space?

I thought the Dijeh is a ground-use MS based on the Rick Dias, and thus isnt very useful in space. Which is why Rick DIjeh, the space-version of the ground-version of the space-ground Rick Dias, exist.

So despite the long delays, the story is moving again. The last several chapters have been a fight with the Aile Calamity Gundam, and the Eclipse Gundam. The battles are really well drawn and still manage to convey the action portion of the battle, though the long time between chapters releasing ca...

Re: Purging Armor on Full Armor Mobile Suits

I totally forgot about the Duel Gundam. Up until the ending I didn't even realize the Assault Shroud could actually be removed. I'd thought it was permanently welded on to the frame after the damage the Duel suffered. So if that the case this would also go to the mass produced units from the Astray...

Doesnt the operators and one of Patrick's own staff become very hesitant when Patrick Zala ordered the Genesis to fire on Earth?

So what does everyone think the Space Colonization in this series will be? I'm thinking it will be a Dyson Sphere type module (I say type because a Dyson Sphere is supposed to go around a star, this will probably go around the planets themselves). It certainly looks like a module style colony from ...
