Vector -> Victor = codename for Vajra...

If you listen carefully, the echo is there, it's just not as pronounced as in SDFM

Hikaru? Still waiting for the AiA sub...

My guess is that's what Luca was trying to do, but the Vajra must have some kind of countermeasure...

*Grabs a torch and a pitchfork*

Maybe the gun's recoil is so powerfull that it requires quite a lot of thrust to compensate; and that will give away the sniper position.

I think what explode was that part of Island1 that went adrift after being hit by Ozma's gunpod fire.

ROFL

LOL, now that I managed to v-v-vi-i-i-e--e--e-ww th-the gat-t-tai version on my computer (1.66 GHz, 512MB RAM) after trying 20 different settings and combinations of codecs/filters/players... (runs to get AiA&I-Z's torrent...)

I'm downloading, but I doubt I can play it correctly on my old computer... even the resolution is higher than what my CRT can display

Is that krespy playing or is he just the uploader?

Oh yes, todays G-suits respond way faster and more efficiently than the early ones

Just a couple off topic points: G-suits where initially used in late WW2, and was standard equipment for the F-86 pilots (but not for the Mig-15 IIRC) Combat speeds where in the zone of 700-800 Km/h and both the Mig and the Sabre could easilly break the sound barrier when diving in combat maneuvers.

I'll go with my previously suggested VF-25 Scimitar, it sounds good and can be easily written in katakana: tsu-mi-ta-ru or tsu-i-mi-ta-ru

VF-25 Privateer VF-25 Swordfish VF-25 Proteus VF-25 Bloodhound VF-25 Salamander VF-25 Pfeil VF-25 Schwalbe

VF-25 Toryu (Dragon Killer)

VF-25 Condor VF-25 Javelin VF-25 Meteor VF-25 Fury VF-25 Gauntlet VF-25 Scimitar

I read somewhere on other Macross F topic, and coming from a magazine scan or something. That Ranka doesn't know about Ozma job at SMS, so I doubt she thinks it's Ozma who get killed by the bug.

Ah, you're right, I was interpreting the city as water reflection...

Just noticed this when the red bugs are approaching the Island 1: It is really huge!!! There is an ocean in there, with a lot of 'little' islands, each of which, I guess, have it's own city. At least the two big islands near the front of the ship have cities in them.

But they're orbiting a gas giant, which can have a very strong magnetic field...

@Sundown: When did you watched SDF Macross for the first time (or anything Macross)? Were you a Kid? I watched SDF Macross (the robotech version) when I was 6 or 7 years old. I was hooked to it by its mecha and action sequences (specially the Zentradi ship explotion on the 1st episode). That's the same that I liked about Macross F. While I DO watch for character likeness/personality on other anime, that's what I first watch in Macross. Sure, after the initial awe with the mecha on SDF Macross, I continued to watch it for the plot and characters. And I hope to the same to happen with Macross F. In any case, with the years, I have learned that you may hate some characters at first, but in the end, given a good plot; you'll like/love 'em.

Uhmm... The 1st episode of SDF Macross ended with Hikaru being shot down and crashlanding on Macross City while transforming the VF-1D into battroid mode. All that things you credit Hikaru to do, actually happen on the 2nd episode.

Yeah, I think it may be that the Space Monsters have been following Sheryl from fleet to fleet, and that's why the Frontier president says "They're already here"
