    Good for Oktoberfests...now with Variable Fighters

    I wonder what music genres that Macross does not cover. I think the idea for an classical /symphonic metal style orchestra for the idols would sound good for a future series.
  3. cheemingwan1234
    Actually, the A-6 Intruder and it's variants use it as well together with the A-10 Then again, I wonder how much dummies the UN Spacy went through before deciding on the most suitable way to eject people out of VFs in all modes.
  4. cheemingwan1234
    Drat, guess that rocket ejection for canopy is the only option for ejecting from a VF.
  5. cheemingwan1234
    What about running a detcord throgh the canopy to shatter/weaken it during ejection? The F-35 uses it.

    Okay, we know that in Macross, before Frontier, VFs have conventional bullet spitting autocannons as their gun pods, but later on with the VF-27, they switched to beams. What are the advantages and disadvantages of using conventional projectile gunpods and beam gunpods?

    Over 24 hours.... Given that Gerwalk operates at low attitudes....would a canopy destruct system be needed for a Variable Fighter? I think it is necessary if something goes wrong at the attitudes that Gerwalk operates, there might not be enough time for the canopy to jettison if something goes wrong with a VF in Gerwalk mode.

    By the way, differing proceedures from standard is how you start an accident, eventually. *Gestures to that one airliner accident (Flight 191) where the maintenance crew did not replace the engines of that airplane involved in the accident as according to the instructions, resulting in premature cracking that leads to eventual structual damage in flight.
  9. cheemingwan1234
    But it does factor into increased costs since the YF-21's design compared to other VFs, including its competitor, the YF-19 is quite different in configuration from other more conventional designed VFs in layout since I'm pretty sure that mechanics might have trouble unlearning and then relearning how to service components such as the engines and the legs.* Not to mention more newer jigs for maintenance that cannot be used for legacy VFs compared to the YF-19 *Especially since in the YF-21, the engines and legs are separate from each other unlike other VF designs.
  10. cheemingwan1234
    Correct me if I'm wrong, but was one of the reasons for why the YF-21 was passed over for the YF-19 (ignoring BDI/BDS) was that the way the YF-21 transforms makes it a maintenance nightmare* despite the fact that it was the most combat effective when compared to a traditional VF since it can fight with it's limbs blown off? *Imagine having to unlearn your muscle memory and re-learn it again since the YF-21 transforms so differently from a typical UN/NUN variable fighter.

    Do you think that the NUNS will eventually break up into smaller successor governments, judging from the events of Delta and Frontier?
  12. cheemingwan1234
    So, let me get this straight, there is a Commanders R'Us factory satellite somewhere. Which gives me a mental image. "Special delivery, one lieutenant for your main fleet' Complete with a deliveryman wheeling in a replacement Zentraedi clone for some random Zentraedi main fleet.
  13. cheemingwan1234
    Okay, so how do Zentraedi replace leaders then? Do they have some sort of dueling system between commander type Zentraedi or just ring up a factory satellite to get a new leader?
  14. cheemingwan1234
    Considering that Breetai was able to shrug off a VF going kaboom point blank without armor whereas another subordinate further away from the kaboom in full armor was killed and survive being spaced for a limited period of time without a spacesuit, well a regular Zentraedi might be harmed by jet blasts from a VF. And what's the logic of the Protoculture making their commander Zentraedi tougher that the 'regular' Zentraedi. What's the point if in a battle, when the commanders generally get personally involved it means that the battle is lost?
  15. cheemingwan1234
    Darn, guess that VFs and Zentraedi are pretty matched as well.
  16. cheemingwan1234
    Breetai's a Commander type Zentraedi. He's made of sterner stuff. A regular Zentraedi taking a boot trust to the face however.....let's just say they are going to have trouble identifying him or her once it is done.
  17. cheemingwan1234
    Well, if we also take into account other parts of a Variable Fighter's design...well, I'm pretty sure that a Valkyrie can ruin a marcloned Zentraedi's day in melee if the Zentraedi does not take into account the differences between a VF and marcloned OPFOR infantry. Especially since organic body parts don't take kindly to having thermonuclear reaction turbine plasma fire off when the VF is kicking a Zentraedi in the torso or the head. Put it kindly, while marclone Zentraedi and Valkyries are equal in strength in melee, the Valkyrie has more options for a nasty death to it's opponent in a brawl
  18. cheemingwan1234
    Zentraedi are not plants, they don't have cell walls for overall support. Unless if the cell walls are also there during the marcloning process to help Zentraedi support their large mecha heights.
  19. cheemingwan1234
    Well, considering that (space) metal is harder than flesh, bone and blood and field motors go a long way....I think that a regular Zentraedi (not a CDR type Zentraedi) can be a victim of having a Mortal Kombat style fatality pulled onto him/her by a Variable Fighter.
  20. cheemingwan1234
    Umm on the other hand, it's quite easy to remember and disguise what they are working on.
  21. cheemingwan1234
    Good way to spell premature structual fatigue though since you are introducing another point of failure.
  22. cheemingwan1234
    So I was wondering on something. Okay, if the VF-1D is ' just' a two seater VF-1 variant , why does it need the extra firepower of a second head laser?
  23. cheemingwan1234
    Okay, how did the J variant of the VF-1 ended up being assigned to squadron leaders? Given that the main manufacturer is located in Japan, should there be more VF-1Js assigned to grunts relatively speaking in Japan? And how strong is a VF compared to a marclone in a fistfight. Can a VF literally punch holes clean through a Zentraedi with just their bare hands?
  24. cheemingwan1234
    The themes kinda supplement one another in a sense. Music and other cultural commonalities can bring cultures together...but there will be people looking for a chance to start a punch up that will undo the peace that music brings.
  25. cheemingwan1234
    A Fold Fault that has centuries pass for those inside of it, enabling more time for our NUNS society to from the Clans ? That works...
