That topic has come up a few times, usually in connection with Circle FANKY's Battleships of the Galaxy doujinshi and its questionable assessment of the ship's interior layout as a fanmade work.

I'm afraid I don't remember offhand who it was who posted it... but it was at least a year ago.

Understood. Thanks for the help Seto.

Don't know if this is the thread in mind, but there was some discussion of the Quarter's size here:

 

Hmmm... That is quite interesting and there is a sort-of bit of dimensions in there which I could use for what I need. Thanks.

So I have a quick question about the overall true size for the Macross Quarter and the rest of its class. First of all, I am quite aware of the canon dimensions of the ship but there are a few out there who think the Quarter is quite larger than it is supposed to be really. I remember someone earlier in this thread or maybe another thread on this site did some calculations using some screenshots of the hangar and the elevators of the Quarter to come up with better dimensions than the canon ones. That was after they mentioned that it was quite hard to have the Quarter carry its official compliment not to mention the three Battle Suits of Pixie Team and the single Konig Monster. Shrug. Does anyone know where this post is or actually know the revised dimensions? Thanks in advance.

Honestly. I think even if you do not like the movies you should go. As the more people, and money they bring, the easier chance we may get more Macross content coming to the United States in the future. However, that is just my personal thought on it.

@deathzealotThank you!

You are quite welcome. You can answer any other questions like that by checking the Macross Mecha Manual.

I hope this is the proper thread in which to pose this question and I apologize if it is not. Does anyone know which episode features the animated VF-22S Gamlin? 

It should be one of the Macross Seven OVA add-ons. There we go it is Macross Dynamite 7, Episode 2. Check out the Macross Mecha Manuel page for that particular fighter.

The VF-31 Siegfried book was... well... it basically all but ignored the production VF-31.

Ah! So this book may end covering the Production Type Kairos then? Hopefully! Also Seto I do hope it is better then the Siegfried as I remember your thoughts on it.

Huh. I wonder if it is going to cover a bit more on the original VF-31 Kairos. Did the Siegfried book cover any of that? I do not remember. I know it covered the prototype versions of the Kairos but not if it covered the production type Kairos.

That looks cool ! I don't see it being an issue as the pin point barrier is doing all the work..

Hmmm... Along with the ARMD's engines as well it seems.

Yeah, that does make a lot of sense. Although I can't imagine them trying the "Daedalus Maneuver" with one of those. O.o

Actually, if I remember correctly, one of the games actually had an ARMD used in a Daedalus Maneuver like attack on an enemy. I think it was one of the games that followed the "Do You Remember Love?" timeline.

I'm listening to Yami_Q_Ray on Spotify that Yamikumo interruption of Heinz. 

You mean Heinz vs. Yami_Q_Ray on the Macross Delta The Movie Absolute Live Soundtrack? Yeah. It is a bit interesting.

A seaborne Itano Circus? Gotta love it!!!

Didn't they kind of do that with the Macross against the Zentreadi after they glassed Earth? I mean a ship version of the Itano Circus?

Listen, I said Prometheus, not Dream Boat 🍕🚢

You do know modern aircraft carriers actually have fast food restaurants in them don't you? Or at least that is something I heard second-hand from my Navy Veteran of a step-father.

After some quick double-checking, it appears to may be conflating events from the official Macross timeline with events from the Robotech short comic "Mars Base One".

In Macross, the fate of the Oberth-class's namesake ship Oberth is unknown... but she was likely one of the hundred-plus sunk during the First Space War.

In Robotech's "Mars Base One" short comic, the Oberth was sunk in orbit of Mars by a Zentradi warship performing advance reconnaissance in 2005 while attempting to evacuate the personnel remaining at Mars Base.

Shakes head. But the whole bit about the Oberth being destroyed by Anti-UN Terrorists was before the Mars Base One comic even came out. So where did that come from?

EDIT: Now that I am thinking about it. I think it was either one of the early Robotech RP Books or some sort fanon timeline that someone made way back when.

Kind of makes you wonder what the conditions were like on the Spacy's Oberth-class missile destroyers, given that the Spacy was apparently recruiting experienced submariners to crew including Bruno J. Global, whose previous command was the submarine Marco Polo.

You know, one of these days I am going to go through with my plan on writing a fanfiction that really explores the Oberth Class before the first war. Maybe follow the Goddard when it went after the Anti-UN Controlled Tsiolkovsky. Though reading the Macross Mecha Manuel entry on the Oberth Class didn't the Tsiolkovsky destroy the Oberth as it was evacuating the Mars Base? Or was that something from Robotech?

Hello everyone: 

I have a couple of questions about emigrant fleets.  Is there any information on which was the last of the emigrant fleets that was launched from The Earth (Solar System)?  Is there any kind of emigrant ship in between the City Class and the Island Cluster Class? Can the Macross 11 main colonization shio (the one that appears in episode 25 of Frontier) be considered an Intermediate? (It is seen next to an environment type ship similar to the one seen in the Frontier fleet). 

Thanks for your time and sorry for any grammatical or translation errors in the post (English is not my native language).

Kind regards.

Juan.

There is also the Island Jackpot From Macross Delta, that while simply being a smaller version of the Island One City Ship from Macross Frontier it is kind of a intermediate city ship design. That is what I used it for in my fanfiction stories. It could also be a sort of early Second Generation Colony Ship Design (i.e Macross 1 to Macross 5).

That's supposed to be baby Basara..?

Hmmm No. I think that is one of their daughters? Though I do not remember if any of their daughters have orange/red hair.

So Max is indeed the grandfather of Mirage ?

Hmmm.... Yes. They mention it during Delta that Mirage is the granddaughter of Milia and Max. That is why she ended up leaving NUNS as people were expecting her to be like her Grandparents and she couldn't handle that pressure.

Whatever you do, don't call Millia "granny"!!!

I thought that is what she wanted when she was trying to get Mylene married in M7?

Eh... it's not as cut and dry as all that.  It varies heavily based on the property, the character, and the circumstances.

If a character's too important to the story to lose, they'll recast them without hesitation.  If the character's important but their presence isn't strictly required, they'll often be replaced by a new, suspiciously similar, character in the same role like how Beltorchika Irma's role was taken by Chan Agi in Char's Counterattack.  If the character isn't actually important, they might find themselves removed from the story outright or remain but be reduced to a non-speaking role like what happened to coach Todoroki in Silver Spoon after VA Kenji Utsumi passed. 

Or Sayla Mass during Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam. As her VA had other commitments at the time. Hence, Sayla getting only a brief cameo in the series and Beltorchika, a similar looking character, was introduced to the series to be Amuro's new Love Interest.

On another note.. is there any technical data or performance  info on the VF-1SR Attack Valkyrie???

What is that??

Also while I do not think he is a Cyborg, but didn't Colonel Millard Johnson have a leg prosthesis or two? 

Sorry. But I always thought General Galaxy was started on a light note it was only later that it started to become what we see them being in say Frontier. Though now that you mention it yeah the whole BDI thing was a bit sketchy.

The one in Macross 30 has small runways in each side... but that Northampton is based on the Frontier ones, a modernized version of the frigate. I'm (trying) modeling the one from M7

 

Yes. That is the Gefion and is only a single ship so far upgraded in that way. The Macross Frontier/Macross Delta Northampton doesn't have the runways and such of the Gefion. That said from from what I remember about watching the Macross 7 episode with the Stargazer the fighters launch from those blue hatches as I mentioned. No idea on the interior of the ship for its hangars. I am sure one of the books will have some lineart of the hangars on a Northampton.

Anyone knows where the hangar/hangars of the Northampton are located?

It depends on the variant. For this M7 Version of the ship I think the fighters deploy via those blue painted hatches along the sides of the ship. Though for anything else you have to wait for @Seto Kaiba to come in.
