    Is Macross II suppose to be a sequel to DYRL?
  2. The Adventurer
    Okay, that's the Macross 7, but still very useful for my game to extrapolate from. Thanks for directing me too it.

    Sorry, you seemed to suggest that the fleets might move rapidly enough out of fold to actually cover significant celestial distance. I guess I sort of misinterpreted what you meant by 'practically unlimited' in terms of speed and range. And actually I DO like the answer, because even with transforming robots and cities in space certain hard laws of physics still apply. Oh I understand that they don't fold at every oppertunity. But I got the sense that they might do it fairly regularly. At least once every 5 years or so. I mean, once you arrive in a region of space you want to probe for A)resources B)habitable worlds it doesn't take an unlimited time to do that. Once you've done your survey, and determined the location not suitable for long term habitation, you batten down the hatches and jump a few thousand more light-years away and start surveying again. So on and so fourth until an ideal habitable world is found to become a permanent home. I'm just checking if my logic there is verified by what the shows establishes, and maybe get some hard numbers. I mean, in Frontier you get the sense that the ship is traveling vast distances outside of fold, which strikes me as improbable. Unless they're tooling around a single Solar System until they make their unplanned super long range space fold in the third act.

    While true that the ship might be able to make it anywhere as long as they continue to reinforce their closed system environment with raw resources from surrounding celestial bodies. And even if they could travel 99% of light speed (which I doubt) on sub-light engines. Suddenly a colonization trip that was going to take 1 or maybe 2 generations to find a new habitable world to call home, suddenly becomes a true generation ship of many 100s of generations. I mean, the ships are pretty robust and could sustain that if society doesn't break down in the face of such a crisis. But the trip is definitely going take much much longer to reach its goal.

    Has it ever been establish how fast island cluster colonization ships (7 or Frontier, either one) travel through space? Or what kind of propulsion system they utilize? I'm trying to figure out what kind of range a colony cluster might have if their fold system was out of commission. (again, for an RPG I'm planning)
  6. The Adventurer
    Okay. Just checking. I'm rewatching Frontier (and probably Plus. And Zero. And DYRL) in preparation for a possible Macross PnPRPG campaign, and got thinking about when we might see more Macross. The big 30TH ANNIVERSARY banner at the top of the forum momentary got my hopes up that something might be in development. Big West does seem to like hitting the anniversary years. Wasn't Plus and 7 released for the 15th Anniversary? and Zero for the 20th?
  7. The Adventurer
    Just to save me a lot of news hunting and googling. Have there been any announcements for new Macross shows for the 30th anniversary next year?
  8. The Adventurer
    Good to know. Do you think Macross licensing is so borked that there's no chance of the Manga ever getting translated offically and brought over here? I'm not sure if Harmony Gold has any sway over the comics side of Macross. EDIT: Granted, at 80 pages an issue, and each issue coming out maybe twice a year, it'll be an AGE until there's enough material to release here anyway. But still.

    What can I say? I'm determined to find this damn magazine (and I've turn Google upside down to no avail looking for a place to buy) I actually found this thread and bumped it BEFORE I read your post telling me to ask here. LOL I found a copy on E-Bay, going for 59 bucks (plus 12 s/h), is that remotely close to what the book actually cost? EDIT: I really should post here anyway get some use out of this account*, I love Macross. *I made it a while back, then never posted
  10. The Adventurer
    Hello, quick question. Can anyone point me to an online retailer where I could import this magazine to the US? I'd really REALLY like to get my hands on a copy. Thanks
