Re: The Macross Valkyrie Thread
What did the Windermereans use before they have the Sv series? Did they have jet fighters like humans? And if not, where did they take the inspiration for transformable valkyries from?

Re: The revival of Core Block Technology in late U.C.
Say, on the topic of Late U.C. MS, which unit started the trend of intergrated non-handheld heavy weapons onto MS? I mean, the F-71, the F90, F91 (VBSR technically have handle for the hands to grab, though), Hardygun, Heavygun, Javelin, Victory Gundam (Overhang Pack), etc. either carry these types ...

Re: The Macross Valkyrie Thread
Say, in universe, how would a person know whether the other one conversing to him is talking about the VF-11B or the VF-11C if the other person simply say Super Thunderbolt? And what is the main different between two variants anyway?

Re: The Macross Valkyrie Thread
Say, hypothetically, if human in the future managed to produce fold crystals, how much would the galaxy (and not just VF technology in particular) would change? I always have this feeling that some sci-fi works have this technical limitations put on so as to keep things interesting: For example, if ...

Re: The revival of Core Block Technology in late U.C.
Did it, though? The only one I can remember being modular was the ZM-S08G Zolo from the beginning of the series, and I don't think that was considered a true Core Block System because it was two parts split right at the waist instead of upper body, lower body, and center body (cockpit/core fighter)...

The revival of Core Block Technology in late U.C.
So, I have been wondering about why did Zanscare had so many MS with Core Block System. Is it because of BESPA, who inherited SNRI technology that included the Cluster Gundam and the Crossbone units (arguably their most important MS, even more so than the F91 as F97-influenced units appeared as late...

Re: The Official Macross Delta Anime Thread Mk I
Is there anyone like me feel both dread and hope to a new Satelight show being announced? It is not unlike crossing fingers before a new Windows release - there was almost equal chance to be good or suck. And it was usually the latter part of the show when the quality began to drop: Basquash, Shugo ...

Re: The Macross Valkyrie Thread
I am kind of interesting about that Frontier novel spin-off? (It was kind of strange to see Aircraft Racing, a game thought to have been killed since the early 20th century, made a comeback.) Did you read it from Japanese, or had it been translated? Also, was that "Isamu Special" name used...

Is the Trafalgar-class still canon?
I hold a strange fondness for the Columbus-class, and by extension the Trafalgar-class, for their huge hangers on the sides. But it makes me wonder if the Trafalgar-class is still canon (is the Gundam novels considered canon?), and whether there is a reason for the Trafalgar-class creation? I mean, ...

Re: From which angle does Mobile Suit usually attack spaceship?
How hot can the flame from a spaceship's thrusters burn? Would it be enough to melt the space rocks you mentioned above? And do we have any idea about the effect of external heat on the electromagnetic fields surrounding the shots fired from a beam rifle? Also, you talked about the number of EFSF sh...

Re: The Macross Valkyrie Thread
Say, is there any restriction or regulation to how much a pilot in U.N Spacy could customize his/her VF? What if the pilot uses customize parts from a manufacturer specifically for testing or advertisement for that manufacturer? Is a relationship like that forbidden?

Re: From which angle does Mobile Suit usually attack spaceship?
Depends on the ship. Really, most of the ships are of a pretty poor design in anti-air(or anti-space I should say?) Either they are designed like surface ships where most of the stuff are stacked on only one side, or the stack most of the same stuff on the same side. The Gwazine for example, had mo...

Anyone here can detail me on why did Mospeada specifically was chosen for Robotech? I understand that there were some problem with Orguss' licenses, but did Studio Nue just picked Mospeada, another of their properties, out of the blue. Was there any serious consideration to the plotline of Robotech ...

From which angle does Mobile Suit usually attack spaceship?
From a disscussion about why didn't warship in Gundam come with I-Field Generator, it got me asking this: From which angle does MS usually attack spaceship? From the series and movies, I got an impression that a MS usually move directly toward the fore of the spaceship at a slightly downward angle, ...

Is the Macross Wikia really that bad? Damn. I like FortressMaximus, the admin (and probably the only editor) there. He did help me a lot with the technicals of few other wikias. And, for a guys who updated almost regularly for years, it got to take some dedication. Also, who is this Chris you guys a...

Re: Gundam 0083 Rebellion manga
Okay, guys, I think Anaheim has gone to the deep end with this model: http://i.4cdn.org/m/1524788974890.jpg
Any idea what is it? And if that is an atomic bazooka, then why did they build the GP02 anyway?
Also, the shield looks like the same model on the GM Custom (Silver Haze).

Re: The Official Gundam The Origin Mecha Thread Mk I
I assume it's because the Saberfish wasn't intended for 360-degree battle. It was supposed to execute high-speed strafing attacks against battleships or perhaps engage in the rare space dogfight. More likely though, they were intended to be deployed from their space-borne mothership, enter a colony...

Re: The Official Gundam The Origin Mecha Thread Mk I
Any reason for the Saberfish and the Core Booster not to have a bubble canopy? Or why both of their cockpits were made from rectangular pieces of glass instead of rounded ones? Their field-of-view must had been equal to that of a 2nd generation jet fighter.
And no HUD for the pilots?

Reading the DecultureShock blog, I saw that in Japan, next to the big concerts, there are the Macross fan club meetings and the occasional events like Mylene Party. Is this normal with other shows? And if you see it, in Akihabara small-time idol groups usually held micro-concerts in a cafe or someth...
