Whoops my bad on the number of colonists in the early long range flights. I thought it was 800,000 not 80,000. I rechecked the Compendium after i saw your posts JBO. That makes a big difference.
I was wondering about Kamjin's jungles covered ship too. I can just see some guy in the middle of the Rockys looking at the settling dust yelling "I knew it! Call me nuts will they" heh heh that might almost be me
I can see the point about the fish. I thought of that once too, but I don't usually eat fish so I don't think about that much. The Japanese would tho.
Since the first objective of the Zentradi was to wipe us devient little miclones out, the primary volleys would have gone to population areas first, they'd mop up the rest in latter volley's.
Not saying that life would be fun in the country. Just that reclaimation is possible, not just handwavium filled PSB Anime magic.
Good point on the timing of the New Macross class colony ships. that would fit with about the time the first generation boom after SW1 became adults.
