They put all their science-tech-speak into trying to explain song energy/spiritia....
-
Hey, that's far too similar to other forums' methods to be it! That's logical and makes sense! (I was just repeating what I heard earlier, honestly)
-
Yup, it definitely has slab fins: http://alert5.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/PLA-J-20132.jpg (cut and paste link) Interesting--the formation strip lighting. It's incredibly "American".

If you go to your profile, in the same line as where it says "profile" way to the right are some stars next to "User Rating". They're clickable. People who view your profile can "vote". The ratings are based on that. And possibly post counts. It's never been fully explained, I don't think it's really documented in the forum's software. Generally we just ignore it--it's apparently easier than disabling it.

Spoiler? Cut scene that was supposed to have run after the credits:

No one considers that could be Grace?

There is no way the final product will have a paint job that nice. It'd be awesome if it did, but I think the odds are about 100:1...

The MW Automotive Thread Quattro SpecV

Yup. I never change my own oil--time, mess, cleanup, etc. And like I really want to carry a big container of dirty oil around town in my clean carpeted trunk--THAT is the number one reason I won't do it--I don't trust it to not leak, and even without the oil it's still dirty just from sitting on the garage floor, etc. It's also one procedure I assume even a tech unfamiliar with my car can do without breaking anything. -
Wait wait---she has the blue one? *Scarlett*? With the red outfit? Has the blue one? I'm all messed up now...

If Yamato makes a V3 YF-19, I may get hers instead of Isamu's---I have a hard time buying the same valk THREE times. Anyways---hmmn, the ACTIVE's thrust reverser seems "incomplete" to me (it has a cascade array etc, but no real blocker system that I can see)--and based on the drawing and underside views etc, it almost looks like it only exhausts to the underside--that is a horrible design flaw if it does, it's self-defeating. (that would cause the back end to effectively lift up when landing on a runway, taking weight/effectiveness off the brakes---making it take longer to decelerate--which defeats the point of reversing in the first place---many an airliner has been stymied by this problem)
-
Yup---my guess is they're just animating the scene in the series when Leon's guys try to assassinate her a bit differently--having her actually get shot this time around. Or, it's a substitute for the "getting ripped apart on Gallia IV" scene. Because either way we need an excuse for her to show up in her 2nd, all-new body. Her "unconscious new body being built on a table" is a fairly iconic image for the series. She frankly needs to be killed in a "messy" way at some point to justify "downloading" into a new one.

Unlike Overtechnology? "Overtech engines, Overtech shields, Overtech food dehydrators..."
-
That's a minor issue! Plus, the whole "Milia 639" implies there's at least 638 identical clones of her out there somewhere.
-
I keep thinking it could be a Milia Me 262. (I've seriously considered doing an F-14 in her colors--if Shin could have one, so can she!)

The Newbie and Short Questions thread
David Hingtgen replied to azrael's topic in Movies and TV Series
Well, the fact that "no one really knows" I think excuses it from being in the noob question thread. It's not an "FAQ" type issue that half of the members here know off the top of their head like most stuff in that thread. But the non-descriptive thread title is certainly an issue. Fixed. -
It is now...
-
That sounds like a target-type thrust reverser. (737-200, DC-9, MD-80, Fokkers) The Tornado is the only fighter I know of with that style--but again, it really needs that type of nozzle to start with, which is not like any valk or "iris-petal" style of nozzle. (that nozzle design is part of the reason the Tornado isn't very fast at high altitude--it's fine for airliners, but far from optimal for high-alt high-mach flight) PS to everybody--yes, thrust reversers are a special interest for me.
-
A thrust reverser? Interesting, they're quite rare on fighter jets. Curious as to how it'd work, as it says in the nozzles themselves, for which there's no real-world equivalent assuming either VF-19/25 style of nozzle or F-14/15/16/18 style nozzle.

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides
David Hingtgen replied to areaseven's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Which is half the reason botox kills acting ability... -
It's the same as VF-11MAXL
-
LOL, they just changed one word and made ACTIVE all Macrossy yet still work as an acronym. In the real world, ACTIVE is "Advanced Control Technology for Integrated VEhicles". Seriously, the Japanese sure do love ACTIVE, it shows up in WAY too many video games etc. Also note how Gubaba posted it--that is certainly the intended way. All caps, and no space between "19" and "ACTIVE". VF-19ACTIVE

I always seem to be one of the few who liked Cars...

I'm presuming they're just "idol markings" and not actually Sheryl's and Ranka's (unlike say Luca and Ozma versions)

Bandai DX Chogokin YF-29 Durandal Valkyrie

Re: swing-wings. I wonder if it'll just pivot the outer sections, with the booster engines being the fixed pivot point. The Su-17 family is like this: I don't know if there's a specific term for "partial swing-wings". ::edit:: Looking at the latest/biggest pics again, it looks like the pivot point is inboard of the engines, and that the engines themselves are fixed. That's just not gonna work... -
Heck, they could darn-near just put a new head on an existing Klan figure and get a flightsuit Grace. (though, toning down the chest would definitely help--Grace isn't "ludicrous" like Klan)
