New Macross TV Series in 20xx (sometime this decade)
Master Dex replied to Tochiro's topic in Movies and TV Series
It really entirely depends on your personal tastes. Like any music there can't be an objective truth even if there is something a majority may agree on. Walkure is more modern pop than stuff in Frontier (which was a lot if that too just in last decades style and had high level composing) which some can enjoy. I like it fine, it was good to me. I really liked Frontier music too. My personal tastes lead me to enjoy Fire Bomber more than others but that's indicative of me not some idea that it is overly better in every way. There hasn't been a Macross series with music I didn't like yet, though I'm not really a fan of Sharon Apple stuff honestly. I know some will think that's weird but again, personal taste. Maybe what I'm getting at is the question shouldn't be what makes it better or different but for what each person who likes it enjoys it personally. This may be more enlightening to those who aren't on board than a bunch of back and forth trying to claim it is objectively good or not. (This can be applied to liking the shows as well, but that doesn't mean I won't lambast Delta for problems that hurt it in my opinion just to be clear. Others can still choose to like it though.) -
EDIT: Disregard, I seem to have stumbled into the correct method after a lot of trial and error.. it's all synced up and updated now. Hey so I just got a new phone. I still have the old phone accessible for now. I am trying to figure out how to transfer my data and progress but it is just not working for me. I've read that you link it to a social media account, which I had it on my old phone linked to Twitter for some time, and that if you link to that same one in the new phone it would download everything and get you where you should be... except I've linked to twitter in the new phone.. same account... and nothing.. still at level 1 on a new game. What am I doing wrong?

I hadn't considered that, but I took it as them just knowing Windermere had the fighter already. Yeah that doesn't surprise me somehow. I was thinking structurally.. as the tech was something that would be spread regardless.. I consider that Gen 5 tech, not YF-24 based stuff.. even if the 24 was the first to be designed with it in mind.
-
Some have taken that last message as meaning Megaroad 01 fell into a black hole, though I don't know if that is proven. It's highly unlikely the Draken III is used anywhere else. It was pretty much made for Windermere, and not a design based on the current YF-24 Era. It's basically designed to fight NUNS (specifically, other VFs). NUNS themselves wants more capability. There is also that... The Draken is not very capable... In fact it kinda sucks at anything beyond flying in an atmosphere due to its over specialized design and needs extra parts for fuel and missiles (especially in space) cause they just had to have a fancy transformation system. Also they literally bring swords to gunfights (they do also bring guns at least, but the swords are so unnecessary they are mainly there for Rule of Cool). The fighter is a symbol of a nation more than an effective combat tool like most other VFs are. I'd be shocked if anyone else used it.

Good researcher has notes on everything. Bonus points that he's also an engineer. We love notes. -

If someone took a Boring Not-a-flamethrower and put some UNS kite stickers, or NUNS or what have you... It'd pass for a Macross The Flamethrower lol. -

I say the thread title should change to New Series in 20XX, lol. Seems more likely we'll get something in that frame heh. -

I assume they'd have this AU Sheryl being more skilled in that then ours. Actually if it was a VF-27 she'd have to be a cyborg so it'd be easy. So much for those all-natural selling points though, lol. -
I take honor in being the last person to ask that, lol. Still it's so rare to not have any answer for something like that.
-
Fair point. I'll consider than plan B. With A being just planning to stick with the current order. I figured as much somehow. Yeah, I'll stick with the current preorder and worry about future versions once they for sure exist. I'm happy to just finally have a VF-4.
-
So thread moves faster than me. I just learned about the VF-4 variants. I have one of the FB2012 VF-4s on preorder but if they release a Max I'd be sorely tempted to cancel to get that instead.... but it sounds like some think these variants might not really happen? I want to wait for a bonafide preorder date before making any rash decisions. At the very least I won't be unhappy to stick with the FB2012 model... but I don't have the disposable income for multiples and several types so I am really wondering now, heh.

Alright, with my CDJ confirmation email I will bid good luck to any still trying, thanks to the link posters again, and congrats to those who got it, and apologies for those that didn't yet. As always, have a good night.
-
Yeah once again props to the people sharing links here, I couldn't find it on my own at CDJ or HLJ. You guys are the real heroes.
-
Got it at CDJ. Doesn't look like it used my points on it but maybe I just rushed through the process to ensure an order. No big deal though.
-
I know HLJ usually doesn't put the order page up until the minute the pre-order starts.. but CDJ usually has it earlier, not finding it however.
-
I figured. I did the VF-31A DX pre-order with my card and it basically acted like normal where it did the reauthorization once or twice over the months before release but once it shipped then I got charged. Worked pretty well for me. Good to know. My points will basically amount to about $10 off but hey, every little bit, lol.
-
I didn't know it was a thing... but it had 300 points listed for that... it was the first of my birthdays since that account was made.. so maybe it's a one time thing?
-
I'm logged into HLJ and CDJ. Those are the two I've trusted and have worked before. I still have points at CDJ from my 31A purchase and birthday apparently, lol.. so it might be worth my time to order there. I know if you do paypal it is up front at CDJ but if it is by card is it also up front?
-
I'm likely gonna wake up 10 minutes ahead of this, get my pages ready on my tablet, do the thing, and confirm without even getting out of bed, lol. Almost how I ordered the VF-31F when it first released, heheh.

Super Macross Mecha Fun Time Discussion Thread!

I didn't really give a reason actually. I was also talking in over simplistic manner. I know there are people who can better answer things and give details, like you and Seto especially. -
Super Macross Mecha Fun Time Discussion Thread!

There is really only limitation in space when it comes to fuel and operating time. In atmosphere, a VF-1 can run for months without refuel since it uses it's fuel to super heat intake air for propulsion, which is all around it. So in atmosphere, it is indeed up to pilot endurance and mission time. Most VF's could circle a planet several times over in the time it would take to burn off all it's fusion fuel. It is only limited by aerodynamic drag at that point, and the fact that the pilot will need to rest (and eat and dispense as ya do). Space is a different story though. No atmosphere means no free propellant. One might think they'd have to find an extra source beside the fuel, but it turns out Thermonuclear Reaction Engines are so stupidly powerful thanks to overtechnology that they can just run them at a high output/low efficiency mode and use the fusion plasma as propellant. This means they don't need a separate propellant to replace the air used in atmosphere. The downside is it eats up the on board fuel. Really Fast. I don't know the exact figures (that guy comes later), but the VF-1 for a baseline example with no packs has a few hours of operating time or something to that effect.. maybe less. The FAST packs exist entirely to increase operating time in space by adding more fuel and additional booster rockets (which apparently, somewhat amusingly, are OTEC hybrid rockets, not fusion engines themselves.. which explains why they get tossed away so haphazardly since they are super cheap to make being based on real world modern day rocket tech with some sci-fi improvements). There is actually a rare mention of this in Delta episode 6 (a rare time Delta bothered with useful details) where Arad tells Hayate to be mindful of his fuel. He never mentioned it before because this was their first sortie in space. Low and behold inexperienced pilot Hayate flew about haphazardly and ran out of fuel in short order in that episode. Though at least he had a decent amount to start with, those Drakken III's barely have much at all. Later VF models improved all of this for space, to the point where future Super parts were more for adding armament and fuel rather than extra engines since the main engines of later craft were good enough. Notably, the VF-25's packs did add extra engines though, price you pay for an all regime fighter I suppose. Note the VF-4 is a space superiority fighter, it is designed to work there, and thus doesn't really need extras to operate (it is more like it has FAST packs built into it), but it wasn't as good in atmosphere. UNS/NUNS likes to go back and forth on how they made fighters for specialized regimes or jack of all trade styles. The latter seems to be in vogue as it was for the VF-1 and VF-11 days. The VF-19 and 22 weren't so much specialized for a regime though as a mission type and since neither ever really became a main line fighter (plans aside) that's somewhat irrelevant. -
Unless they are aiming for one of our satellite cluster galaxies (like Sculptor or the Megallanic clouds) that would be a very long and lonely trip even with modern fold tech.
-
I'm all for this, regardless of the color. I just want to own a VF-4 in any size and I missed out on the Yamacadias plus couldn't afford them (getting 3 different Delta VFs doesn't help, I know that is small numbers for people here but I am not that rich, lol). I actually like the VF-4G colors more but I have no issue with the Skull coloring.
-
I've never been able to afford a VF-4 toy. I'd prefer the VF-4G but anything will do! I'll aim to get this to finally have one. Not been following HMR releases like the DX, will this go through normal sites like HLJ and so forth?
-
I still feel the desire to help you with that project after we spoke at SDC... but I really don't know what I could offer you. I think I just want to be involved in things, lol.
