Re: Nomenclature with Weapons on a Ship (UC)

Wait, the main guns on the UC ships fire conventional shells? In animation, what they fire look more like energy beams.

I always assumed that if it's not a mega particle cannon, then it's just a beam cannon/gun.

Re: The Macross Valkyrie Thread

You mentioned that the UN Spacy Marine Corps use the Neo Glaug bis. That got me thinking about the UN Army. Do they still use destroids? Is the VA-3 still in use? I would wager that the M model is very useful for underwater operations. Does a "UN Air Force" exist or is it supplanted by the...

Re: The Macross Valkyrie Thread

Kind of odd that the VB-6 can not reach escape velocity. I expected it to have engines powerful enough to do that.

Re: The Macross Valkyrie Thread

I'm assuming that the VF-3000, VF-5000, VF-9, VF-11, VF-14, VA-3, and VB-6 don't have escape velocity capability?

What about the Variable/Neo Glaug?

Do the improved/advanced versions of the VF-1 (VF-1X, VF-1X+, VF-1X++, VF-1EX) have the capability to reach escape velocity under their own power?

Re: Least Powerful/ Weakest Gundams?

Counting anime-only Gundams, it's either the RX-78-2 or RX-79[G].

Re: Which units in the Gundam 00 universe are confirmed to have/use GN composite armor?

So, all Gundams (all factions) from Exia onwards have GN armor?

Do any of the non-Gundam MS/MA have GN armor?

Sousei no Aquarion predates Nobunaga the Fool and M3 by about 9 years.

Some of Kawamori's designs after 2005 have that Aquarion aesthetic.

Re: The Macross Valkyrie Thread

They're not described as such, no. Sometimes, the lineart is misleading. Under normal operating conditions, its gunpod would be stored internally in a manner identical to the VF-17's. I didn't expect the thinner leg of the VF-171 to have space for the gun pod. Also, its gun pod seems too long for t...

Re: The Macross Valkyrie Thread

Some questions about the VF-17 and VF-171: - I know that the VF-17 stores its gun pod in its right leg but does it still have space for ordnance in the weapon bay of the same leg? - Are the four "diamonds" in each leg-mounted FAST pack of the VF-17, micro-missile launcher ports? - Does the...

Re: The Macross Valkyrie Thread

I looked up the VF-11's Japanese wiki page and it mentions a "GU-16" and "GU-16S". Are those from any official material? Where are the VF-14's micro-missile launchers? Are they in the forearms or legs? When a conformal part covers, let's say, a VF's leg (which has either micro-mi...

That's the VF-11C's gun pod (from Macross 7), right?

What about that of the VF-11B (from Macross Plus; the one with a bayonet)?

Were the VF-11's weapons (head laser gun and C-type's gun pod) given "official" names in its own Master File book?

Re: The Macross Valkyrie Thread

How does a VF's active stealth work?

Does any VF have anti-beam coating?
