    Hang 10, dude.

    Just went to TVTropes (per your link) to look up the Bolivian Army Ending. BTW: Is it normal to lose track of time and end up reading on on other stuff related to what you were looking up on TVTropes?

    pengbuzz replied to sc_planet's topic in Model kits

    I see it: the nose stripes are misaligned (circled): sc_planet: don't worry about it so much! In real life, the military fouls up paint jobs all the time! Here's a link to a topic that might help you out: https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234966177-modelling-mistakes-on-real-aircraft/ Personally, I think your plane looks great! And to be honest: during the Global Civil War, the militaries of the world probably didn't have all that much time to make sure every stripe was right! SO, it's all good! You have a winner here; relax, take a victory lap, and get yourself a Petite Cola!

    Basically: suicide ego runs?

    Sorry, but when I read the title, all I could think was:

    Which means they're practically immortal...unlike poor Messer. What a dip.

    Okay; I'll check it out after I take a break for a bit. 👍

    Hopefully they discover that pineapples are extinct by that time...

    And perhaps discovers a regenerated Earth, and the remains of the human race there.

    You might want to see the spoiler for what I just thought might occur if they did combine them. You mean like this one:

    Would love to do a Hasegawa VF-1S Battroid model someday.... If you think about it, the leg is only attached by one joint, and that's at the hip.

    I wish I could fins the Ten Kings Sword for GX-71 (Blazing Sword) loose. So far, no dice.

    It would be interesting to see if they could be built into one system that insulates the pilot from the g-stresses but still allows for maneuverability enhancement. Or... I might be confusing things here and just making a recipe for cockpit salsa.

    Could the two systems be combined to work in tandem, with the ISC feeding extra inertia to the ISC?

    MEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAT!!!!!!!! (It's what's for dinner! )

    AKA Valkyrie Pretzel O.o Really makes me wish we could have seen the YF-24 Evolution onscreen in combat. Guess that's not happening anytime soon (if ever). So basically, they're stuck until if/ when they can synthesize fold quartz. And I imagine this is holding back any other governments in the Macross universe (insofar as ones we've encountered thus far). Makes me wonder if this will still be an issue in the upcoming Macross series, or if part of the plot will be the ability to produce fold quartz....

    Not so sure I want to see Destiny or Urdr Hunt; one series I just learned about was Gundam Hathaway (2021), but after WFM I'm kinda burned out on the Gundam franchise as a whole.

    "Short-term" is relative here; the magnetosphere would take some time to "come back" (as evidenced by a real-life shift 42,000 years ago that disrupted the climate across the planet). Geologically speaking, what scientists call "short term" would be much longer than humans could tolerate on Earth. And with the massive amount of energy being lobbed at the planet, the disruption would be fairly intense. Not with that much energy. Referencing real life again, after a certain level of energy in the air, ozone begins breaking down: https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn11456-solar-superflare-shredded-earths-ozone/ The thing is: I think you don't realize the time tables here for the planetary resources to replenish are on a scale that is not quick by our standards. And in the days and weeks after the end of SW1, people would be in immediate ecological peril. The report seems to mirror much of what I described previously.

    Well, increase it in comparison to how long it would last given the excessive performance asked of it.

    Let's look at this as a whole (physical as well as emotional/ psychological): - Runaway greenhouse effect by the release of CO2 and dust into the air; rock, sea brine ice at the poles and saline aquifers trap CO2, and the bombardment would have vaporized all of that material, releasing the stored CO2. -Disruption of the Earth's Magnetosphere, allowing charged particle radiation from the solar wind and cosmic rays to erode and ultimately blow away the Earth's atmosphere. -Destruction of the Ozone Layer, allowing UV A, B and C into the atmosphere. -Destruction of plant life in the oceans due to the bombardment, resulting in the loss of 80% of world Oxygen production. ( 50% alone is generated by Phytoplankton in the oceans). -Destruction of all surface fauna (animals), devastating the biosphere and greatly impacting available food supply, transportation and work labor for farms (traditional). -Irradiation of indigenous flora on the planet (from both the bombardment as well as solar radiation now flooding the planet), damaging the genetic structure of plant life and in many cases, outright destroying it. This also will result in the loss of 28% of the Earth's Oxygen. - Irradiation of/ boiling away of freshwater sources, which will also add water vapor to the air; this will only enhance the greenhouse effect, reduce available potable water supplies and reduce the availability of solar power. -"Glassing" (the superheating of silica in the soil until it vitrifies into glass) vast portions of arable farmland, greatly reducing available soil for growing crops and feeding any surviving livestock. -Increase in rates of cancer, glaucoma and cataracts and general radiation poisoning in the surviving populace. -Devastation of previously established weather patterns, drastically affecting the already devastated farmlands ("dust-bowl" conditions). -Increased tectonic instability due to the loss/ shifting on bodies of water from the continental places/ boiling away from underground aquifers. -Devastation of technical capabilities due to increased radiation interfering with all but heavily shielded electronics. -Loss of shelter for people on Earth (including food storage, safe resting areas, hygeine/ restroom facilities/ sewage, running water). -Psychological trauma (PTSD, "Survivor's guilt", panic/ paranoia/ fear, etc.); grief and despair resulting from loss of society, loss of families/ loved ones, loss of national pride, and devastation of environment as a whole, hopelessness, suicidal ideation. -Resentment towards the Unity Government for "allowing this to happen". "Poor sods" doesn't even begin to describe it.

    I mention it because they were slow, plodding and kept getting blown to bits by the faster Zentraedi mecha. I think in that respect, they got it right. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

    If anyone ever wants to see how badly Destroids sucked in combat in Space War 1, just play Robotech: Battlecry. You'll see up close why they stink on ice...

    And so such a system would also increase the service lifetime of an airframe and other components by reducing the stresses and the subsequent wear from those stresses, right?
