Re: What is the final word on Cosmic Era beam technology?
In regards to beam sabers its been shown though not often that they can come into contact with each other and the little technical information on CE Beam sabers supports the idea that they can. I believe it was stated that the beam is composed of plasma (though I can't source it) but the method for ...

Re: The Official Gundam Unicorn Anime Thread Mk V
And all the people you named weren't self serving, corrupt leaders themselves? You can call progress through economic means as corrupt as you want but keep in mind that many military "revolutionaries" have gone on to become just as corrupt and hated as any financial leader. I'd also like t...

Re: lack of discipline in the gundam series
In many cases the crews of these ships are civilian volunteers. Even under the US Military's UCMJ their are no provisions or regulations for the conduct and punishment of civilians. Actually I think the first actual case of a main character pilot actually already being in the military who committed ...

Re: UC Trivia: Mobile Suit Production Costs
Again the price of gold fluctuates. While the possibility of the price of gold crashing due to preferred investment in another commodity such as platinum (a more valuable precious metal) by this point exists it’s likely the opposite. Multiple colonies have been destroyed; this is comparative to loos...

Re: UC Trivia: Mobile Suit Production Costs
Except using gold as a measure would be highly unreliable. The price of gold swings depending on market conditions and one would need to factor in inflation which has likely skyrocketed by that point. In 2004 the price per ounce of gold was around 400 USD. Today the price of gold per ounce is somewh...

Re: The Official Gundam AGE Thread Mk V
It's kinda lost in translation for us, but Japanese Commanders in Chief appear to be high-ranking naval officers. From an American standpoint, we would probably call it "General of the Army", "General of the Air Force", "Admiral of the Navy." Well actually its more of ...

Re: GN Tau Drive Question
Well a big problem would probably be an outright fundamental difference between the true GN drives and the Tau Drives. Its my understanding that Tau Drives require energy to create GN particles as opposed to true GN Drives which generates both energy and GN particles. That being said the Gundams pro...

Re: The Official Gundam AGE Anime Thread Mk IV
Arisa and Max are really pissing me off. Not only is this little incompetent trampling over the great name of Max (read: Maximillian Jenius) but it seems inconceivable that this level of skill is acceptable to Wuulf and Millias. If this were the US Air Force I'm pretty sure they'd drum Max and Aris...

Re: The Official Gundam Unicorn Mecha Thread Mk II
They however were doing the correct move. We have to examine what each side was doing the Zeon side were attacking while the Federation side were defending. If you are defending you're not going to run out in a vacant desert to attack your enemy, maybe if you are in some FPS game and are a 6 year o...

Re: Ship's Bridges Being Target.
In concern to ce warships the bridges aren't as vulnerable as one might think especially ships like the archangel. Take notice that most of the archangels CIWS emplacements are clustered around the bridge tower and as shown can put up a amazing volume of fire. This placement was considerably effecti...

Re: N-Jammers.

Re: N-Jammers.
Except long range communication is still possible. Radio communication is still possible in CE, its just rather spotty and unreliable. Its only when a N-Jammer is in close proximity that radio communications are blocked. As lasers are commonly seen used for data transfer in CE its likely that they a...

Re: N-Jammers.
Its important to note that OMNI does very poorly in the war before the deployment of the dagger series despite what ever the timeline might infer. The effectiveness of N-Jammers in the battle of Yggdrasil can probably be attributed to hampering radio based communications and radar jamming which when...
