  1. This is still a thing? I thought they fired the cast and crew quietly, and Michael Burnham was on the street holding a sign that read "Will Dramatize for Food".
  2. Not to mention: in the case of the VF-1, its' operating time in space was limited due to the size of its' fuel stores (and maneuvering propellant as well), getting into position to use a bayonet or knife would have wasted operational time in space when missiles/ gunpod fire could do the same job. Later fighters such as the VF-4 could maneuver longer, but I cannot imagine it getting into melee (hand to hand) combat configured as it was in Battroid mode.
  3. So it wasn't exactly Dick Dastardly up thee, right?
  4. 1) He looks kinda angry/ constipated (facewise) 2) Did he let a gigantic fart rip at the end or something? O.o
  5. 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?
  6. 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!
  7. Basically: suicide ego runs?
  8. Sorry, but when I read the title, all I could think was:
  9. Which means they're practically immortal...unlike poor Messer. What a dip.
  10. Hopefully they discover that pineapples are extinct by that time...
  11. And perhaps discovers a regenerated Earth, and the remains of the human race there.
  12. You might want to see the spoiler for what I just thought might occur if they did combine them. You mean like this one:
  13. 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.
  14. I wish I could fins the Ten Kings Sword for GX-71 (Blazing Sword) loose. So far, no dice.
  15. 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.
  16. Could the two systems be combined to work in tandem, with the ISC feeding extra inertia to the ISC?
  17. MEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAT!!!!!!!! (It's what's for dinner! )
  18. 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....
  19. "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.
  20. Well, increase it in comparison to how long it would last given the excessive performance asked of it.
