True but combined with other methods I'd say it's far more reliable than just visual. That said during the heat of battle that be a bit more difficult. But you are right it is possible to mask.

While a doubt Gundam or any mecha series for that matter really cares about relativistic effects of space combat. I mean if not for the macguffin that is Minovsky particles missiles using heat detection would be the optimal weapon of space combat. Furthermore F*** visual go thermal it is literally i...

I wish i could be so optimistic but no I doubt that space colonization could discourage war. That said this is very close to political topic which is a no no here so I'd say we just leave the discussion to the EF before the OYW. That being the topic it's hard to tell really. They were most certainly...

I ask this after reading a lot about Battletech (Google if you do not know) that has some mechs inspired by Macross. But these designs have evolved to the point that the guns have replaced the one of the hands or both. ... "inspired by" doesn't quite capture the truth of it. The so-called...

Looks like we'll get one more episode of this highly condensed version of the novel.

Question in regards to the YF-22 thought controller did that go anywhere or as it being from plus other then the design it was all scrapped.

The beam weapon used by the RGM-79(G) sniper that had a continuous beam, other than the barrels destruction its power was on the rather high side I can't think of another case of a weapon similar ever being fielded.

whilst that may be true I was mostly commenting on the music which is very different then your average macross. Which reminds me Zero also has very different music.

What about macross plus that was basically yoko kanno getting to make an experimental music album. Sure there was some j-pop but damn that music got weird. Also Voices may be one of my favorite pieces of music ever love that song.

The GP series IIRC were developed at Von Braun except the GP03, which was developed at La Vie en Rose . MInd you I haven't watched 0083 in years so I'm going off memory. That's what i thought which I think gives further credence to the idea of Luna II being a major MS production site for the federa...

So was rewatching IBO and I gotta say I love this show. Might i dare say my favorite in the gundam franchise but I'm an odd duck who adores stardust so meh. I will say that i had some issues with the show early season 2 like the focus on the b team on earth. As well as the going all yolo with Mcgill...

Wasn't luna II were the gp series was developed at or was that von brown.

While I think that's a good cast with plenty of talent, you just couldn't pay me to care about Seed anymore. Yes and who is this for a company just doesn't do something if there is no money involved so who are they re(dub)ing this for? I remember the Remaster got a dub so why do it again, I just do...

Also wasn't the epac tech used by gp01 "forgotten" and everyone went back to ecaps. Minus whatever rx0 uses for the beam magnum.

Question I'm everyone uses the e-pac/e-cap as interchangeable but as far as I was aware they were in fact two separate iterations of the technology. One proceeding the other or I'm totally wrong.

I'd go with it is a matter of power consider the human brain to be battery. Well a newtypes battery is more power thus stronger signal faster control. Though to be fair this is pretty much an ass pull. As the finer details of newtype systems and quasi-newtype systems exist in canon as little more th...

Yeah I agree with yazi on this. Also consider in pacific rim it took them a year with the entire human race backing them a year to make just 6 units. I know this isn't the same universe but just six of them. So yeah 2 facilities to build thousands of units from initial fabrication to final roll out ...

Ok that answers a lot of the issues in the development. I still think the 2 month production and deployment of the units to win the war in december is pushing it. I wish there were more established in universe examples of the production capabilities of the Federation. You'd have to think that if the...

So I'm sure this has been discussed at great length but as i was rewatching the origin I feel like the development and manufacture of MS by the federation seems off. I know that in times of war mass production of military hardware can be quite fast. Even still fighters and tanks that were quickly pr...

IIRC, Almirya said that she would share McGillis' fate as his wife. So, I do wonder if something happened to her in the end. Though I really don't want to spark any "You watched it wrong!" debates, I do think there's a right and a wrong way to interpret the ending. Rustal didn't have some...
