I have an ear over at Forums.relicnews, so I stopped by when this mod popped up. I'm sorry I can't be more helpful than just being a brainbank... but let me know if you want new ship ideas to play with and I'll come running. Luck on the real work for the mod, though.

I think one accepted theory of the end of Orguss is that all possible realities happen. The knot unravels into just about any universe that could exist. i.e., Mimsy is human, Kei is with Tina again, Kei is with Mimsy, Mimsy raises her child alone, et. all. All these realities 'happen', but exist as parallel universes.

And Max Jenius. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to fit in a Q-rau.

And Hikaru was that kid who tried to steal the Orguss. And of all people, Olsen D. Vern, in another universe, was Lynn Kaifun! And I have to ask, how many of you guys read the last chapters of stories before the rest of the book? C'mon, let him find all the cameos himself!

Aw don't spoil it for the guy! Well now that he knows, the cameo isn't obvious unless you're paying attention to detail. It's only for a second- you have to be ready with the pause button in order to get a good look at it. And she's not completely naked- just topless.

So you're watching the series for the first time eh? Keep an eye out for cameos... Orguss isn't rife with them, but there are a few. And Keith, apparently contradiction of pre-established canon is a staple of reimagining

Attrition warfare on the human side is out of the question after the bombardment. Pretty much after the world was bombarded, enemies came in the shape and form of Zentraedi or Zent sympathizers, which means robots against giant infantry. And since Zents, Melts, and Supervision Army were the only known 'adversaries' out there (likely all of them Zent scale), infantry wouldn't be much use in a conventional fight. As infultrators and sabateurs, however...

Was never really motivated to see Orguss 02 except out of curiosity. Shame. Could have revived the origional series to re-spark new interest. Instead we get a reimagining of sorts... although at least this one keeps some ties to it's origional.

I'm starting to wonder if any of the team still visits here. Still occupied by RL, guys?

One snippet of dialouge I mentioned was Hikaru's saying that there were Zentreadi in his squad, that would be transfered to the SDF-1 because of the increasing danger. Now, since I'm a sucker for villians (or villianous races), I wouldn't mind seeing more of the conflict between the zentreadi. There are Zentran who enjoy Miclone culture (To varying degrees), and then there are those who reject human culture for various reasons (desire for 'own, unique' culture, find miclones annoying, desire to maintain large size, etx). I'd much rather be interested in having engadging dialouge between the sides of the Zentreadi characters, making a side-story of the fate of the Zentreadi race. Of course, it could be elegible for a small OVA, since it would require establishing more Zentreadi characters among the fleet to pick up later in the story. That's another thing I might add, more Zentreadi characters and interaction. Having the Melts as a seperate entity (Allies rather than under Bodolza's command), would also be a plus. When it comes to the Shneeblume v. VF-1, a plausable explaination has to be found why modern-age fighter jets aren't passive stealth. Would the VF-1 have to sacrifice passive stealth for it's other features? (Transformation, space-flight capability, etx), or would the world governments feel the investment in a mass-production fighter that expensive would be worth it? If anyone's taking a tally, I'd choose ARMDs over carrier arms... or at least updating the carriers when sticking them on a DYRL? body. Also more story of the Destroids... maybe a destroid ace. The only cannonfodder of the story really should be Regult pilots and the Zents. Zents have attrition on their side, humans are just better pilots that shouldn't be blown up just by changing scenes. A cameo of Orguss would also be nice, other than seeing the Orgussvalk combust

If we're talking about minor animation changes and nothing harming the content of the story, I wouldn't mind updating the VF-1 design with the SW-X1A (Shneeblume) instead. It makes more sense to have transforming fighters follow the trend of modern ones (passive stealth geometry).

One cannot have too much Orguss... so much as they evade Orguss 02. Although I have to wonder what that 'other company' is and what their intentions are...

The Miniatures SSD is a nice piece... I happen to have one and it's very nice and sturdy. Only complaint is the back end, it's really blunt compared to the Micromachines mini. I also wish there was a way somehow to secure more Star destroyers other than collecting a lot of expansion kits just to have them. Then again, I also find it strange that it apparently seems possible one could have the Old and new Republic playing on the same side. Technically, the old republic turns into the empire, which casued the New Republic rebellion... Likewise, I didn't know the CIS and Galactic Empire were best buddies.

I dunno, I'd be motivated to see it. Haven't been motivated to see a lot of movies recently.

I thought it was funny somewhere when someone transposed the concept Ratchet's face onto the body of a parakeet... I'm in agreement with David and just about everyone else. These trans-crumples are going to be 'interesting' to say the least, in the movie and in the toys.

Viewtiful Joe was just...weird... but Okami was beautiful. Like all things wonderful, though, the company was also short-lived. Let's hope the game isn't so I need to pick up this game sometime when I'm thinking about it. Haven't played a console game in a while, but Okami raised eyebrows when I first saw it nearly half a year ago...

Ok... Any other ships I should be concepting other than UNS frigates? Also, weren't they happy with the one? We only have one kind of Space Carrier and one kind of mass-production VF, after all. Or should I try making a Variable Bomber?

What do you mean? Are you unhappy with this frigate design or want me to churn out another one?

I can't. No modling programs for one... Lestat wanted a frigate, there's a UNS frigate. Want another one or something else?

So I finally fly a prototype and everyone's speachless? I'm...flattered I guess....

Do we have a link of origin?

Thumbnail sketched this earlier this evening. Came home and thumnailed it again in photoshop. Seattle-class Frigate, origionally designated "Mobile Gun Platform plan 23". Based heavily on the construction of the 10 ARMD space platforms as a cheaper alternative space warship. Was rejected initially because of lack of capability, but reinstated after the Zjentohaluedy attack due to ease of manufacture. The design was modified to carry OTEC beam cannons (Now applicable on warships of this cale) and pressed into service in the UN. Spacy as a picket. The Seattle-class carries a small hanger that is capable of holding four VF-1A fighters or their size equivelant. Three were modified after the war into recovery vessels. After space war one many of these frigates were scrapped or loaded into fold-capable freighters for transfer to colony worlds. Although dated, the design is still present on many UNS border planets as late as 2047.

Hey cool! Another thing I can extraploate on and stick in the M:DYRL? mod It's got the Arcadian wings, but it's much too short and stubby to be the Arcadia herself. Looks like it even has legs from here. As for the Arcadia...well...some day someone's going to compile a list of sightings on this ship. I wonder if they continue...

hmm....haven't been thinking of the Macross universe for a while. I'll need to stare at some UNS ships for a while for something to gel- fortunately I do have Miyatake's book... Didn't we have that gunship flying around? Or do we want more than that kind of frigate? How many guns, what's the principle armament? Variants on a base design? Or am I unleashed for this one?
