If you were a crew chief in the Macross universe.......

If Basara subscribes to Lynn Kyle's philosophy as the stuff I read says he does, then all whiskey bottles beware his fearsome kick! -

Wow... sounds likr that fleet needed someone to sae it from its' own government! "Full Relina"... as in Relina of the Sanc Kingdom in New Mobile Report Gundam Wing? If that's the case, "doormat" may be a fairly kind nomenclature. IIRC, her kingdom got absolutely plowed. -

You have some really good points; I thought the two fleets represented how the conditions aboard colony fleets had become by the time of Macross Delta. About a bit after Macross 7 (a few years after Basara's time, but it's a bit anachronistic in that the setting involves the colony fleets having M+/ M7 tech, while Earth is using Macross II stuff (don't ask me why...my GM is a bit of a mystery! lol ). After your report on how the MII stuff stacks up, not sure it would work. In the game, the Unity Gov't. has gotten pretty arrogant and think they have what it takes to paste Zentraedi main fleets like a turkey shoot. -

Yeah...I almost get the feeling like the colony fleets got "thrown under the bus" once they departed Earth. On that note: ours in the campaign really doesn't like Earth, and the further they can get from them, the better; the CO and crew got burned too many times to count and the political intrigue, conspiracies and overall ham-fistedness and official blundering they did in the story to our group left a very bad taste in many mouths. ROFL!!! -

Well, that scenario actually would play into the events that led to the development of an in-fleet stealth fighter (the one I designed for the RPG I'm in). Unlikely for most fleets, but ours had some pretty good resources and technical abilities. ROFL!! "Wait... why does the engine compartment only have a treadmill with a hamster on it?!"

Photo of mine as of tonight; not a whole lot, just mostly 1/72 scale models (some scratch built):

Yeah; I wasn't saying they had an ulterior motive, but that they reduced the overall performance so as to create a basic template for fleets to make their own models based on their needs for the craft. Thanks for pointing out that the emigrant fleets had restrictions due to their abilities, economies and materials access. -
THAT would be a good idea.

At the rate they're going, he's The End from MGS3.

Gotcha; thanks! Those hip pins look hella weak compard to the rest of the Battroid!

I read something like this about the F-16, and that it relies on flight computers to keep it stable during normal flight (i.e. non dog-fighting maneuvers). Seto, I seem to recall you mentioning that UN Spacy was envisioning a different kind of war with the Zentraedi (more about planet-based and "taking/ holding territory") than the one they found themselves in ultimately. The VF-1 was very maneuverable in atmosphere but would run out of reactant in space and needed the Super packs, while the VF-4 and VF-14 were more space-based (showing a trend towards space-based after Space War 1). With the advent of the VF-171, 29, 30 and 31, I'm wondering if with the decentralization of the UNS and the establishment of NUNS if the YF-24 Evolution was designed deliberately as a testbed and then dumbed down so that the fleets could make their own advancements based on their perceived need and requirementss. Am I : 1) correct on this; 2) wrong or 3) overlooking something/ other? -

Hence my disclaimer: This is one reason I like participating in this topi: if I'm ever unsure of my facts, I can simply post what I think here and see if I'm right or not, especially with folks who have a better background on this (and better access to info pertaining to thus) than I do. I had not considered the fact that the VF-4 was more optimized for spaceflight than for atmospheric, so it makes sense that the switch to another spaceflight-optimized plane would be less of a jump. -

Not sure that qualifies as a tactical advantage... O.o -
Let me see if I can photoshop that one for the gang first!

With how the leg is simply an outer shell, how would that even stand? Without an armature or different design, it would have to be on some type of stand. In fact, that I think would be a major issue for the model with the arms as well as the shoulder and hip joints.

My wife would kill me if I paid more than 100 for anything like that (really tight finances). 500... that's 3/4 of our car insurance for 6 months!

I hope so as well... I'd love to see those printed!

Kinda reminds me of the SR-71 Blackbird's engine, only with a cockpit. Hmm.... I wonder how this would look if someone took a pair of these, cut the engines off a same-scale SR-71 model and glued these on into place?

I would also have to add training as another point. With a specialized craft such as the VF-14, you need specialized training in order to fly it (slower, different setup, different characteristics in all three modes, etc). Whereas with the VF-11, the pilot can "train up" for the base model and then train in the specific armor and packs as needed without having to train for another craft altogether. Someone coming from a fleet where they used the 14 is going to take a bit longer to get up to speed, for example, as opposed to someone who's coming in from a VF-11 squadron and simply has to train up for armor or whatnot. Just my opinion, but I may be mistaken.
