  1. I don't really post much more of a lurker there. Name is the same, I post here more often. That and I am part of the Macross Aria project.
  2. Considering the pre docked arms of the Macross were originally designed to function as fighter bays. I would say that the tactic of splitting up the fighter and ship force to secure a larger area. Perhaps use one of the ARMDs in a scout or power projection role. Notes on the design state that it originally includes provisions for a fold system. Think about it, instant flanking maneuver.
  3. Had a feeling that you were on these boards too Brand-X. You do such good work over at HLP I am glad to see it here.
  4. I bet the 19 is still the standard with the N.U.N. Air Force as some have observed before
  5. That is a sweet lid,... Could you do a 3 view of it I might make you a 3d render of it for fun at some point. I like how you moved the HUD into the helmet, removes some serious point of reference issues with it being projected onto the canopy.
  6. After poking around I found the 1000 meter per second is fairly consistent of all the standard performance rounds in the military currently. Only gun i could find in the 3000 range that has been fielded is the stratosphere gun And they don't use those any more in favor of missiles. So that puts macross weapons pumping out their rounds at 3 times the velocity of their real world counter parts. Not totally surprising considering the advanced materials.
  7. well you could make a gerwalk with a static leg position and thrust vectoring... But i know the real trouble with something like that would be keeping it upright being top heavy and all.
  8. Well the gravity control would also have to counteract the forces of acceleration. Considering the speed at witch the Macross can move. Think about the ending of Frontier when M Frontier sucker punched M Galaxy. Imagine being a crewman inside that arm, there would have to be some type of pocket of controlled gravity. Besides it's already cannon that they can do complex gravitational fields while in a gravity well just watch DYRL, after Hikaru and Misa get picked up
  9. Looks like they are wearing some kind of pussified version of the Crysis nano suit
  10. Well with a name like supervision and having both Protoculture and Zent in their ranks... Strikes me as that they were the force that maintained order within the Zents, till they got taken over of course
  11. Wow this is so weird, That place has been my start page for over a year and I found it through this site. I guess it helps to re-reference stuff.
  12. Well if you took the VF-25 and ditched the shield i am sure you could mount a third engine back there too.
  13. I always though that was one of the coolest and most insane moves I've ever seen, but I always thought he had to do it because he was switching the wings around? Oh btw how are the remote SV-51s doing these days, any new insane maneuvers that you've pulled off?
  14. So I know its been asked around before, I ran a search but I have a more specific question. The secondary engines of the VF-4, I know there are no official stats on them; however i am trying to get a ball park of what the true thrust of a VF-4 with all engines burning. I reason its some kind of plasma rocket. In order to impart the VF-4 with a competitive thrust to weight ratio with a standard load you would only need a rocket that pumps out a little over a third the power of the of the rockets they slapped on the back of the VF-1. Basically each of those behemoths in a fast pack pump out 120,000 kg of thrust but they have to compensate for all the extra weight so they pull a 6:1ish ratio out of the thing. So I figured if competitive is meeting or slightly exceeding the VF-1 w/FAST pack, then that thrust to weight ratio is what i needed to ball park it from. So using Mr.Marches benchmark for take off weight I figure the VF-4 comes in at around 20 mt, well that if my math is right requires 120,000 kg of thrust to get 6:1. The turbines on a VF-4 pump out a total of 28,000 kg, so that means you only need to add 92,000 kg or rather 46,000 kg for each. I'd make it 50,000 just to it could out pace a VF-1S. So I ask is this a fair assumption as long as I don't quote it as official?
