Me! = Kamjin I can't remmeber if I signed up or not. I was checking my email at 7:30. Saw the email. Said to redeem my passcode between 5-8 pst.

Ah but that was the VF-11C in Macross 7. That was the cheap knock off model. VF-11B is good one with the bayonet and all.

Why not... For me there are many ties. Top James Bond Films (Overall) 1. On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969) 2. From Russia with Love (1963) 3. For Your Eyes Only (1981), Thunderball (1965) & Goldfinger (1964) 4. Dr. No (1962),The Spy Who Loved Me (1977), GoldenEye (1995), Diamonds Are Forever (1971), Live and Let Die (1973), The Man with the Golden Gun (1974), A View to a Kill (1985) & Casino Royale (2006) 5. Moonraker (1979), License to Kill (1989), Octopussy (1983), Die Another Day (2002), The Living Daylights (1987), Tomorrow Never Dies (1997)

I think Macross Zero will be the forgotten Series.

One problem about House Ruling. You shouldn't have to. Excluding omissions any licensed RPG product should be accurate and playable without the need to house rules or taking a red pen to write in the correct data. Palladium made changes and were just sloppy. Robotech & Macross fans like accuracy. Don't believe me go to the Toy section and see how many people are looking at the latest picture for accuracy from Yamato. This was Palladium's chance to make up for 20 years of infamous mistakes. Here's another Crew Error: Bridge Crew of the SDF-1 Ship's Captain (1), XO/Airboss (1), Helm (1), Nav (1), Comms/Sensor (1) Security (4). Not counting the 4 Security Guards. They only list 5. There were 6 feature Bridge Crew character. Maybe they are ignoring Vanessa she does look a bit like Meg.

A lot of them are still here. I think we had a alt fan memories thread somewhere.

Btw the Cats Eye now has crew of 5. Over at Palladium's own forum, a Palladium Freelancer called Braden (Who didn't write this book) had the following to say about the Tomahawk's crew and complaints.

Reviews don't look good. On Rotten Tomatoes it has 71% overall positive rating. The top critics only 33% approve.

Last.

Almost done.

The rest.

And more... There is even some scans of characters from the game. Shall I post them too?

More...

Some stuff I found on a google search. Scans from the Family Soft Macross Games. more to come.

Kinda funny to read that on their forums. I can understand both arguments. HG wants to keep a tighter control our Robotech because they did a crappy job maintain even the most crappist level of continuity but they have to either give tell Palladium more official stuff or allow Palladium to expand things on their own. I think they also say that the copied line art drawings was another request of HG. You know I can see this line dying a couple of years not because of Palladium mistakes/lack luster work but from restrictions imposed by HG. Palladium seems limited in what they can do. Which makes me wonder why didn't HG just license the use of a game system, hire a few RPG writers and publish their own game? They could have the best control over things that way.

I've to buy that one now I think I'll wait.

Tonight episode is almost over. They killed a terminator with some MP-5 to distract it followed by a couple shot gun shells to the face. That was it? I seem to remember them being a bit tougher in the movies.

Yeah like umm are you two finish?

Sorry to tell you this but they are. The new infantry weapons of the machineguns & launcher types. The guns have SDC ammo & MDC ammo. Some of the MDC damage is pretty close to what the Mecha can dish out. Clearly they added these to allow Infantry to fight mecha but this never happen the Macross Saga. they had Mecha to fight Mecha.

I think I remember the AR-21 having 70 rounds in the mini Macross guide book.

Only new Mecha is the VF-1R Variant from the video game. All other Mecha is from Robotech the Macross Saga. They adopted names for some Zentradi Mecha from the Robotech Reference Guide. Nearly every Mecha has a Chaff/Flame System. Only things they omitted was lesser RDF NPCs , Zentradi NPC, some Zentradi ships, grand cannon. They did invent some infantry weapons.

Yes but keep in mind it was animated in 1979 and that it heavily influenced the creators of Macross.

Did anyone find this part strange? Minmei's is a White Chick?

It's because Robotech.com is using the original names. Even with its flaws it does feel good to flip through a Macross Saga book. This opinion may change after reading. A perfect Christmas gift for a illiterate friend maybe?

I bought this. I owned all their previous Robotech/Macross RPG and played the hell out of them. I'll submitting a full review to RPG.net soon. Here's what would have been a deal breaker for me. If it doesn't seem like a big deal to you buy the book: The Tomahawk is listed as having a crew of two. In the animation we see the crew appear at least twice. There is only one crew member both these times. Robotech.com lists one crew member. Guess who list two crew members? The Robotech Reference Guide. Great accurate source. I then read someone pointing this error out on Palladium's message boards Here is what the author had to say: Now I just want to scream stupid RPG hack! Robotech is anime. Ever heard of “Anime Magic” if the source material indicates one Crew Member you go with it. The guy refuses to believe one crew man can do it all but has no problems with transforming robots that fight giants? Palladium's old Robotech and Macross II rpg were known for gross mistakes. Lancer Space Fighter, size of the Macross Cannons etc. We use to think it was just bad research now we find out that some mistakes are intentional. It is one thing to increase M.D.C. armor ratings for character survival it is another to intentionally present inaccurate information. Palladium will always have their loyal RPG customer base. A Robotech RPG will appeal to Robotech fans as well. Even with the differences between Macross & Robotech fan I think I know one thing common with both groups. They like to talk about Mecha and crap. How many missiles does this have? Was that Minmay flying in the background? They give a crap that a ship is the correct sizes, etc. We can expect RPGs to fill in the blanks. What this hack did is inexcusable. After reading that I now doubt the accuracy of the rest of the book. Still it is good to see an official Macross Saga RPG book. Even with that deal breaker it still feels good to flip through a Macross Saga book.
