Did they broadcast Minmay during the battle?
-
If the VF-1 was already a match for any Zentradi mecha, the VF-31 must far outclass anything they can send against the NUNS now. Right?
-
Didn't the VF-1D already have a full tandem cockpit?
-
Anyone else ever noticed that the VT-1 doesn't fold its vertical stabilizers in GERWALK or battroid mode?
-
I'm still unclear on what fold faults are and what fold quartz is for. I've seen Frontier and Delta and I still don't entirely get it.
-
Did the ASS-1 have the "shoulders" before it crashed, or were they added later by the UN to give the ARMDs something to dock with? The animation seems inconsistent.

Didn't the ASS-1 crash because it was already careening forward when it de-folded?
-
Interesting. I wonder what niche it fills that isn't already occupied by the other known classes. Also interesting. I wonder what they do have.
-
Matching course and speed at such a close proximity? Also, why would it be so far away from the rest of the fleet? There are no other ships in sight, aside from the SMS team. Couldn't it be a mining ship detached from the fleet's Three Star Factory Ship? It must get its raw materials from somewhere.
-
I'm not sure. It's in episode 9 of Frontier, but I don't know how else to describe what it was doing. It was either towing the asteroid in some way or it was just flying directly above, matching the asteroid's course and speed for some reason.
-
What is this ship supposed to be? In an earlier part of the episode, it looks like it (or another ship of its class) is towing an asteroid.
-
Wouldn't the VF-1J be the earliest in-universe example of that?
-
That sounds like the animated intro to the DYRL game for Saturn/PlayStation.
-
If the latter is a dramatized retelling of the former, couldn't it be a bit of both? Or maybe the UN never publicized that they knew the Zentradi were coming. At first to avoid panic, and then later to avoid blame.
-
Imagine if the Zentradi hadn't shown up for a few centuries though. And if humanity had all that time to improve and refine their new technology on a planet that hadn't been devastated by an alien attack. Wasn't construction of the Megaroad already underway before the Zentradi showed up?
-
What was the original UN plan for the Macross before the Zentradi arrived? What if they never showed up at all?
-
Will the Megaroad find it when they discover the homeworld of the Protoculture? Or was it hidden inside the Macross the whole time?
-
Any idea what this is? I assume it's a NUN space station over Eden, but there's nothing on it at M3.
-
It also seems kinda odd that they'd be sitting out of a big battle like that.
-
Doesn't the ship on the far right of that shot strongly resemble the Meltran LST from DYRL?
-
Has anyone ever identified the Zentradi ships in this scene? I don't recognize some of them.
-
How was the Grand Cannon aimed? As I recall, it was just a big, immobile shaft.
-
Or some Grand Cannons as force multipliers.
-
I wonder what they do if the Zentradi don't actually attack. What if, like Britai in SDFM, they observe from a distance for a while without communicating or initiating any hostilities? Do the NUN forces launch a pre-emptive attack to prevent them from spreading word to the main Zentradi fleet? Wouldn't it be obvious they're not Zentradi if it's a fleet of ASS-1s?
-
That's great for mobile fleets, but how do they avoid detection from Zentradi after they've settled on habitable planets? Do they just accept the risk that they'll be found one day and have to evacuate in the ships that brought them? I'd still like to see an encounter between the NUNS and the SA. Without active guidance from any Protodeviln, it'd be interesting to see if they present a different set of challenges to humanity than their erstwhile masters or the Zentradi did.
