Re: The Official 00 Mecha Thread Mk XVI

So those new rifle bits use the same split barrel style as the new sniper rifle? Also, wow. It seems his sniper rifle actually IS one of the bits with a handle and scope folded out. If you look carefully, all the remote bits seem to have a lines on the back end indicating a fold out handle. http://...

Re: The Official 00 Mecha Thread Mk XVI

Harute. Man, it's a lot easier to see that they combined Arios and the GN Archer together for the Harute. I don't think I like the design: Arios and Kyrios were somewhat streamlined, this is just blocky and ugly. It looks okay in mecha mode, but in flight mode it's kind of like a combination of the ...

Re: The Official 00 Mecha Thread Mk XVI

My second thought about the GN Sword IV is that it may take after the GN Sword II rather than the GN Swords I and III, a smaller weapon that still has two modes. I can see that handle rotating downwards to make a rifle, and those two indentations look a lot like the rifle ports on the GNS2. While th...

Re: The Official 00 Mecha Thread Mk XVI

~snip-snip~ Aha, interesting. Yeah, now it makes more sense: the Origin would have had three modes for close, medium, and long range, while the final product has a close/medium and medium/long range configuration. At least I think that's how it works. If I may ask, did we get some high-quality line...

Re: The Official 00 Mecha Thread Mk XVI

Interesting. That's a very AEU-esque green that the GN Flags have. Makes sense, I suppose, since this is a Federation unit drawing its strength from the three original factions. In that regard, Graham's is probably painted blue to make it closer to the Union's regular colors, I guess. Also, two-seat...

I won't be impressed until they can cram in the G-Fighter, the Core Booster, and the White Base too. =P Well, let's see… Ribbons could make a long-distance flight booster for his unit, it turns out that the Reborn Cannon/Gundam/Tank has an ejectable core module that can dock with a long-range suppo...

Re: Tallgeese's Speed

Not really. I'd imagine that being a relatively archaic machine (technology wise), the Tallgeese doesn't have as many G-force inhibitors as more advanced machines in Wing. Then how come jet pilots could withstand 5Gs of acceleration in a jet cockpit without their ribs breaking? And sometimes even g...

Re: The Official Gundam Unicorn Mecha Thread Mk I

Interesting.... So the Geara Doga has quite a bit more range than the Jegan. Guess that just goes on to show the importance of auxiliary sensors. The paragraph underneath described the different design philosophy of monoeye and visor sensors. The Zeonic style units have larger heads -hence their he...

Re: UC ships main guns VS mega particle cannons: pros and cons

Hold on, I thought magnetic fields compressed the particles into mega-particles, which rushed out of the beam rifle since after the high-energy minovsky particles fused into mega particles, they were no longer affected my the magnetic field. To prevent the barrel of a beam weapon from being destroy...

Re: UC ships main guns VS mega particle cannons: pros and cons

It actually says that specifically. The magical art of Minovsky physics has one more trick up its sleeve. Due to the repulsive forces between positive and negative Minovsky particles, large amounts of energy are required to compress an I-field lattice. If enough energy is applied, and the I-field s...

Re: UC ships main guns VS mega particle cannons: pros and cons

though the rule of thumb SEEMS to be that beam weapons have E-caps/packs and mega particle weapons are linked directly into the main reactor. Except, beam weapons are said to be mega particle cannons . The use of an e-cap-pack or being powered directly by the main reactor of a ship/suit/armor/hamst...

Re: UC ships main guns VS mega particle cannons: pros and cons

According to what I'm reading on the old Gundam Project website (found it in the web archives) Mega-Particles are unaffected by an I-Field. However in the animation, the majority of beam weapons are affected by (or should I say deflected by) an I-Field barrier. So I would assume that's your differe...

Model Numbers

Basically, I'm curious as to what all of the different model numbers mean, and the search function wasn't very useful in that regard. Do we actually know what they all stand for, or are they just random numbers they ? For example (combination of guesswork and vague recollections): MS-05B - Zeon's fi...

Re: The Official 00 Mecha Thread Mk XVI

I quite like Zabanya's array of missile launchers. Actually, I just like Zabanya period. One of the things that bugged me about Cherudim was that it lost a lot of Dynames' non-beam weaponry arsenal (even if Dynames didn't have much to being with). It looks like they learned their lesson from that la...
