I prefer the plot pacing in 00 than in Seed Destiny. I guess it'll go down that Celestial Being's Veda becomes batshit crazy and wants to eliminate the whole world or something and creates autonomous gundams! The whole world is forced to rally against this new threat.

Yeah i was thinking of detailing up my Konig monster but dunno how to. I'll probably follow the MAC II scheme.

Ozma definately knows something about the bugs. When Ozma saves the scaredy VF-171 guy he says "cowards can't fight these things", then Giulamme whatshisname mentions "Code Victor is this what you were talking about, Commander". Ozma definately knows something about the bugs. And about that Ranka comment, i'm guessing Ozma saved her from one of the bug attacks some time ago and it killed her parents. She was traumatised by the incident hence her non-movement when encountering it. Then I guess Ozma sorta adopted her or is looking after her or something. Oh for those who wanna do more scrutinising, you guys should look frame by frame of the 3 Dimensional radar as the Ghosts fly towards their target. You'll see some interesting things like ship names, the PPB systems on the Frontier Island 1, Battle 25, etc. I also had a good look of the Macross Frontier and I just realised its just like the Macross 7 but its dragging other domes behind it like 2 tails, each dome labeled Island x with x denoting a number.

I'm no sithlord nor am I a godzilla...so no....and even different paint schemes I have to consider heavily before getting them. IMHO if you gonna buy 1 for each mode in display, they won't get played and you'll eventually forget how to transform them/not bother so defeats the purpose of the transforming toy.

Yeah. But also consider that an A.I's system is more sensitive and unable to deal with scenarios outside of its programming should something mess it up. I wouldn't say the 171s weren't affected by it entirely but since there are live pilots piloting them and not autonomous drones, there's less chance of ECM messing them up. Probably sensors and missiles get affected but they at least can still evade fire and fight back (to some extent ) This is entirely a hypothetical guess but I think the shoulder pads house some micro missiles. They do look like missile boxes. That's the only "official" source of VF-0 Phoenix I've seen so far but still can't be considered official considering the valk itself never made it into the final release of the game.

Ahhh so that's why they looked similar. Thanks for all the answers, mr march, azrael and briscojr84

And nothing says that those electronics and sensors can't be messed with as well. Its as you say it might not be just radar being jammed but electronic warfare/counter measures as well. Maybe its just a matter of translation and its more like ECM rather than "Jamming" since jamming is mostly radar. At least with human pilots, less things can go wrong since there's someone controlling the valks whereas in a Ghost if any of the components were to fail ie: radar, optics, targetting computer, A.I etc, the Ghost is as good as useless. http://macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?s=&a...st&p=549587 Its in the last few seconds of the video in the valkyrie selection screen.

Haha...of course i know the true answer....i was wondering about the game-fiction which you have also explained. Thanks. And no i was talking about the YF-19 and 21. Not the production series VF-19 and 22....unless I have mistaken because it does look like the YF-19 and 21.

I haven't played VF-X so I was just curiuos.....why do the VF-X Ravens have a squadron made up of ships from different "eras"? I seen vids of them flying together a VF-1, YF-19, YF-21, Konig Monster, VF-4 etc. Isn't the VF-1 and VF-4 antiques by then and the YF-19 and 21s are experimental valkyries? Did they ever explain how they got all those fighters?

Well jamming probably jammed the Ghost's radar making them "blind" so they don't know where to fly, where to shoot and eventually either collided with each other or got shot down easily. They mentioned that the electronics jamming messed with their missiles and Ghosts. As for why the VF-171s weren't affected by it....they were told before launch to set their jamming protection level to level 7 due to the enemy's strong ECM.

The last episode disappointed. The CG was almost non-existent or was too crappy to even consider CG. The fight between Ekou and Otoha was a big let down as well considering the 1s episode fight between Ekou and Otoha's predecessor was epic.

All this talk about biomechanical monsters..... i suddenly had an idea that the monsters are probably biological in nature but wearing armour and brain-interface or mind control helmets controlled by humanoids through thoughts alone. But seriously the more I watch Frontier the more I think the monsters came from Byston Well (That's Dunbine's world)

I'll bet that it works and it will blow up spetacularly too....considering we never quite see reaction missile explosions from closeup in Macross before.

The VF-0 was named "Phoenix", according to the Macross PS2 game's promo video. (The VF-0 wasn't part of the playable valks in the final game) No official name for VF-25 yet. But right now I call it Albatross.

Didn't know u guys were boardgamegeeks as well.

Hehe...suicide bombings all over azadistan...until God Gundam descended from teh heavens. Its Celestial Being, Setsuna! Now the whole world knows you are the pilot of Exia.

Great. So Ozma has to lure the red monster out and nuke it with a reaction missile. And is it just me or do I see a helmet/visor that can pull down on the armored VF-25's head? Oh thanks krepshy for the pics.

Found this on youtube. Its an early promo vid of the PS2 game. Interesting that the initial promo vid shows that they were planning to include the YF-19, YF-21, VF-0 (which was interestingly named Phoenix. I always wondered where they got that name) and the SV-51. Unfortunately only the VF-4 was the only non-VF-1 that made it into the game. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-sJqYkH9Aw

Woah graham got a new "VF-17 bearded guy" as an avatar. You know i saw photos of real cockpits and they look tight and cramped. That VF-17 cockpit actually looks comfortable!

Sivilian Military Sontractor?

Just seen it. Well he probably just had one shell and couldn't be bothered to find more. The terminator HUD now is lame....but at least it tells you how many magazines you have. I like the girl. She's hot. She's the same one from Serenity right? But anyway what's with all the

For one...the box says Strike Valkyrie but it doesn't come with the Strike Packs. Phooey.

Uhhh...i'll let Jesus...uhh i mean Graham answer that then. He is the way the truth and the light, in macross. XD

I think that too was another major issue. You need some extreme concentration when piloting with the BCS/BDI. If my wingman was making snide jokes at my expense and I imagined shooting him down.... ooops.

"PROGRAMME: VF-22 developed from General Galaxy YF-21 design after UN Forces' decision not to adopt the earlier design as the main variable fighter in the Super Nova (AVF) competition. Brainwave control system not implemented in VF-22 design due to test results on the YF-21 in the Super Nova competition. Decision made to adopt VF-22S as special operations fighter successor to General Galaxy VF-17 2042 December. Two fighters used in final stages of Protodeviln War 2046 February. " But according to compendium (zomg i've become a compendium zealot) that the BCS was taken off from the VF-22 due to results of the Supernova project. It probably meant the BCS didn't perform as well as it was expected to. And if something like a "neurochemical imbalance" (which seriously can mean anything from PMS to depression) can adversely affect the valk's performance, I'd consider it unstable. I wouldn't say Guld had "mental illness" but he has the whole Zentran Rage thing going on for him. But it would indeed be interesting if the development of the BCS and BDI continued. It would definately help if you didn't take unofficial sources as fact though. Welcome to Macrossworld.
