The reaction missiles were attached to the fastpacks and not the wings per se IIRC. As for internal hardpoints, probably go the same route as the YF-21. Micro missiles.

But the latest Macross Ace Frontier video game says it has 2 types of missiles, though should not be considered as canon. I'll wait for a Kawamori Design Works or something more "concrete". Personally I feel it really weird that the VF-25 would "devolve" into a VF-11 and not carry any missiles. I assume the VF-25 should have missile hardpoints despite not being shown in the anime to carry missiles....though seen to carry "Speakerpods" on Michel's VF-25G.

Problem is its easy to forget since they were only used once as a force field on the VF-25. And they never ever used it on the VF-25's shield which made us assume the PPB only came with the armored pack. I still don't trust the DVD included specs until a more official source is released. It seems to be missing stuff like internal missiles. (or was this confirmed that the VF-25 has no missiles without the packs? kinda silly if u ask me)

I never bothered to find out...not in GBU not here. And neither does it affect me in combat. Haha. In any case almost all my stats are already maxed out at 99. I was messing around playing with the SDF-1. Melee attack does the Daedalus Attack...which is kinda hilarious because after it punches, it falls over and lands on its knees. ---orz <<--- macross

What's happening in Malaysia???

But Michel didn't eat no stinkin pineapple salad. And Roy was already a one-woman-man by that time. And as for the sudden change in direction.....really strange. There was much potential for Ranka's character to be fleshed out as she is shot to fame and becoming the war-hero....but instead we got more of the "make love not war, vajra are our friends" dilemma from her instead. Meh....probably the movie will fix the shortcoming of the series as a whole.

But here's the thing. You can see it when Quebeley's attack comes, giving you enough time to block. The YF-21's attack , you have almost no chance to block it as it comes to you at blinding speed. You can only dash at the last moment or attempt a block, which i have yet to succeed at either but the AI seems to be able to do the dodging.

There probably is in terms of stats but not sure. Weapons are the same....but the SP move is different. YF-21 has the broken GULD-RAM and the VF-22 Max/Miria is the standard weapon barrage or melee chain. Anyway whoever's on Xlinkkai and wants to play a game can add my xtag, "WoLF-[x]". No room created for MAF yet but guess we can just meet somewhere and see how it goes. Tried that but didn't seem to work to well neither. Hmmm.

Sigh....they should complete it and release it later. The half completed Frontier campaign gives me the feeling that the dev staff didn't know what happens in frontier after eps 14 and the ppl on top pressured them to release the game ASAP. Anyway....i completed all the Extra missions on SS except one or 2. Unlocked VF-0S, Glavil, Bodolza, Vritai and the Macross SDF-1. Still no sign of VF-27 and Battle Frontier. Standard version. Can't really tell though. Beams can't hit crap in this game. They're pointless. >_< But a fully upgraded YF-21 kicks serious a** and is broken. My YF-21 was used to beat most of the Extra Missions. The gunpods are super accurate , fast rate of fire, lotsa ammo, and damages pretty mad!

That image is full of f***win. BOMBAAAA!!!

Shouldn't they be in the Frontier era? You unlock the vajra units when u complete the frontier era. You should be able to select them in the new missions appearing below the final mission as SMS. I still have not unlocked battle frontier and vf-27 despite completing all missions (except the GULD EX one.... and the gauntlets)

I finished the game yesterday. Couldn't clear the ace and enemy gauntlets yet though. I am abit disappointed that the Frontier arc seemed very half-done. The campaign ends with the part where Alto and Brera save Ranka from the Vajra queen. That's it. And like Graham said, there's NO fast or armored packs for the VF-25s which sucks since its heavily featured in the anime series....there just seems to be no reason not to have them. I finished the Frontier missions including the vajra ones but haven't seem to unlocked the VF-27 nor the battle frontier (which has the gunship mounted on the right shoulder. Interesting) I have yet to unlock the VF-0 as well....probably have to get a SS rank somewhere or something. Disappointing that the Zero did not get a proper campaign when they could have easily added in seeing how maps are recycled blatantly. This game pales in comparison to GBU. GBU has tonnes of unlockables, generally better game depth, and differentiation between weapons and much more missions. This game is too short and now i'm only playing to unlock the various hard to get secrets.

Question to pro-modellers: How do you paint the upper-intakes above the leg intakes in the torso area? I wanna paint it grey but the gap is small and i don't know how to mask the sides since the gap is so small. And if i made a mistake like mis-painting, looks like its hard to get in there to clean up.

There's only one for me so far, which is the infamous "Transformation" episode. Cop out though since we never see the SDF-1 actually DO anything. No Macross Cannon fire. No Daedalus attack. Nada. What a cop out. I was looking at my war record and realised there's no VF-19 ,YF-21 nor VF-27 displayed in the list of mecha that I can unlock. Does this mean i can never get those mecha in the game?

You can : 1.) fire missiles blindly by tapping the circle button and they will seek targets automatically. 2a.) hold down circle and it will lock on to multiple targets (like the PS2 game) 2b.) for some valkyies if you hold down the circle, the missiles will launch rapidly without lockon.

Where does this "choice" present itself ? I must have missed it.

Dun think so. Slight mistake on my part, its still the same controls to switch weapons which is L + square, but the secondary switches, not the primary (gunpod). Here's the control list taken from gamefaqs forums. D-Pad: Direction Analog Nub Up: Fighter Mode Left/Right: GERWALK Mode Down: Battleroid Mode Square: Fire main weapon Triangle: Melee O: Special weapon X: Boost (Fighter), Boost UP (GERWALK), Jump/boost-up (Battleroid) L: Defend R: Lock-on/Change Lock L + R: Cancel Lock-on L + Square: Switch Special Weapon L + Triangle: Charged Melee (uses 1 block on SP Gauge) L + Circle: Charged Special Weapon (uses 1 block on SP Gauge) L + Boost: Charged Boost (uses 1 block on SP Gauge) Square + X: Special Skill (equipped in Hangar) (uses SP Gauge based on skill description) Triangle + O: SP Attack (SPA for short, effect depends on the unit) (uses 3 blocks on SP Gauge) L + Triangle + O: Team SP Attack (gets partner to do SPA with you) (uses 6 blocks on SP Gauge) Select + D-Pad: Tells partner to correspond to what the bottom part of the screen says. Additionally: Double tap any of the direction keys in any mode to do a quick dash in that direction or in fighter mode case, barrel rolls(left/right) and air brakes. (down) Haven't reached campaign for MacF but i'm sure its in there. I'm still stuck at Geppelnitch. PS: The intro movie shows mecha from Macross Zero but there is no visible Macross Zero campaign in the game, so i think is either a bonus unlockable mechas or campaign....unless they removed it again.

Thanks for that, Mellow Yellow.

I found problems with that part too with decals. I got pissed and ended up masking and painting the red on the whole fin instead of using decals or stickers.

Thanks guys for your replies. Haha....damn i'm so ignorant.

Do they give u a choice? I thought you just unlocked valks as you went along? Speaking of Blaze Valkyries, i haven't even seen Emerald Force in the game or any other VF-19S. Comments: Veterans of GBU might need some getting used to the controls. Now, its the secondary weapon that switches by pressing left shoulder and circle together.... NOT left shoulder and square like the GBU games which in contrast switches your primary weapon. I have not figured out how to return your targetting back to normal rather than stuck at auto-aim. Its kinda annoying especially for the Geppernitch level since if you lock on him you'll never "unlock" and your controls become non-orientated to the view.

Hey......the stickers actually look decent!! I probably should've used stickers if they look almost the same. Only drawback is they won't conform to the surface as well as decals but meh. Considering i screwed up alot with the decals, i just might tear off the red/black stripes and replace them with stickers before i apply the top coat. Now i'm just worried if the colours will match. Did you have to trim the stickers, Graham?

I don't get how ppl are hypothesizing that Ramaria isn't meltran? Did Klan gave her the shaft somewhere in the series? And i doubt she's Zolan. She lacks the pouch in those belly-showing lineart.

Looks like i'm at the final level of M7...not sure. But strangely i have not unlocked the VF-19 Blaze Valkyrie but i got the VF-22....weird. And i keep losing to geppernitch's tentacles.

I did fine there until i transformed it. It tore. >_>. I just tore it all off and replaced it with the sticker.
