I don't think it was that bad.
I liked how the human's inexperience led to them dragging most of South Ataria island and the two carriers out to Pluto with the Macross.
Since there were no ARMD's around, waste not want want not. Let's attach these perfectly fine carriers instead.
Actually, it wasn't inexperience at all. All the shipwide problems, including the massively miscalculated space fold, and the gravity engines ripping away from the ship, were caused by a conflict between the newer ship's software, and the supervision army software that was re-actived by the boobytrap (see Global's Report)
That's not how I remember it.
You don't remember it that way because Keith made that up. There wasn't anything even remotely close to that ANYWHERE in SDF-Macross.
As has been stated already, you are wrong, Global Report DOES have something similar to that in it.
Now apologize.
Nope, I am right, Az is just protecting Keith because Keith is a weak little girly-man and he crys easy.
