To put it simply, yes. For for more details see: http://manuals.macrossmecha.info/vf1/valkyrie_fuel.html

So Egans wrong then hmm ???? Egan Loo has made errors and changes in the past. No one is perfect, neither am I. >Personally Im more inclined to believe Egan...someone who has sat next to the >Big Floating Head himself, and works tirelessly to give accurate information, than >Nanashi. I, myself, work tirelessly at scanning, retouching images and translating and ensuring accurately. And of course spending $1000's importing original source materials. At Otakon 98, I have had the privilege of meeting and speaking (briefly) to Kawamori-san: http://www.macrossmecha.info/tmp/kawamori&wj.jpg >Reason being that Nanashi's previous work have involved some made up stuff, >and MAJOR guesswork passed off as fact. Something that annoys a lot of us that >have hoped to use him as a source of credible information and have been thus >left discounting his work as fiction. In addition the sources that you have noted >are people you claim are former employee's of Studio Nue, and as that previous >discussion ascertained they are not the official source on Not a former Studio Nue member. Masahiro Chiba belong to a group called MAT working on specifications. He later worked on Macross 7 officially credited for Macross 7's mechanical specifications. Accomplished and published under the Big West copyright on official products (Macross 7 and Dynamite 7 etc.) Junya Ishigaki, who does not belong to Studio Nue, designed the Cheyenne Destroid and it is an official production. So what you are saying holds no ground. Egan however quotes his sources. http://www.anime.net/macross/endnotes/index.html I, at one time had a list of source materials on a previous version of my website, but I took this down. You say that I make all of this stuff up and I don't know what I'm saying, but you couldn't be further from the true. Talk to all the people that I have consulted. From back when Mute was running guvava.com, Macross TC for Shogo, Macross TC for Homeworld, and now currently I am providing mechanical design supervision for Macross TC for Homeworld II by providing information and other reources to aid in their project, not to mention all of the people I helped with Info-Requests and members here at MW. These are old photos of some (have many more now) : http://www.macrossmecha.info/tmp/source/so...rial-books1.jpg http://www.macrossmecha.info/tmp/source/so...rial-books2.jpg http://www.macrossmecha.info/tmp/source/so...rial-books3.jpg http://www.macrossmecha.info/tmp/source/so...rial-books4.jpg http://www.macrossmecha.info/tmp/source/so...rial-books5.jpg >As to RPG sites, and newbies reading them ?? Mine is not the only site around >that deals with Macross from an RPG point of view. There are also Robotech sites >that mix and match, and plenty of supposedly accurate, 'canon' Macross RPG >sites that actually put in any old rubbish they feel like. I use 100% official >sources, and have scoured the episodes and OVA's until I've worn by video >heads useless, and I still have to make educated guesses as to certain things >within the Macross universe. As to people using RPG sites for accurate >information, more fool them. Anyone with any sense would use Egan Loo's >Macross Compendium, or the official Macross website. Most RPG sites are wholly >inaccurate, but mine I'd say is 90-95% accurate, and 5-10% educated guesswork, based on what is seen in the series and OVA's. There are still numberous things on your site that could be presented more accurately. >Regarding these other numbered ships, Nanashi, perhaps you'd be so kind as to >post images for us to see. As I have no recollection of those numbers within the >EDF scene. > As I said: CV-320 Stealth Escort Battle Carrier, CV-216 Stealth Escort Battle Carrier and CV-572 Stealth ARMD Aircraft Carrier

VF-1A Super Valkyrie (various) VF-1J Super Valkyrie (Max) VF-1J Super Valkyrie (Millia) VF-1S Super Valkyrie (Hikaru) ....other....

To my knowledge not yet... perhaps soon.

^^;; Well, Jester does one thing right... Stealth Escort Battle Carrier is more accurate...

Studio Nue is, primarily, responsible for the original sketches/line-art which would contain the numbers written on the hull which later get made into cels and painted. Nanashi's renowned for making things up... Since when? LOL That is exactly what I am against. Without getting upset... it look appears that your site has plenty of fan made names and specs and information for things which doesn't actually exist. "This website, Nanashi's Information Group (formally known as the New Macross Mechanical Archives) is a collection of resource information which was established to provide fans with detailed and accurate technical specifications, design schematics and other data on the mecha of the 1982 Japanese television SF animation series, The Super Dimension Fortress Macross, its sequels and side-stories" There are plenty of things on your site that are made up. Name one thing from my site that I made up and I will scan you a page from an import book or production design sheet. Egan's entry has changed between saying Uraga Escort Battle Carrier and Uraga-Class Escort Battle Carrier. This is currently inaccurate. There is no written source which refers to an Uraga Class... the Japanese kanji 級 (kyuu) which is tacked onto the end of a ship name to represent that is the ship class. Especially since there are currently two of more ships that look just like the Uraga and have an earlier hull number. As for the Nanashi's site not using references, if anyone wants to know where I get my information/etc. I will quote the souce per request. I do not make up anything.

correction: Variable Carrier Vessel

http://nanashi.macrossmecha.info/resrc/cat...ft_carrier.html "Uraga" is not a class of ship, it was merely a ship of that line, same goes for the Guantanamo. CV-350 was a typo.... it was actually the CV-320. Again, Uraga is not a class. That type of ship was also seen in Macross Plus in the Earth defense parameter. Which had a hull number of CV-216 that was not the same class as the Guantánamo (CV-299). There was also a ship that was the same type as the Guantánamo which had a hull number of CV-572 (Macross Plus). So your numbering arguement is not valid. 'VC-551' was a mistake made by Masahiro Chiba (official Macross 7 mecha specifications writer) that appeared in the VF-X Flight Manual book. The Valhalla III is actually the VCV-551. Variable Carrier Variable this can be seen on the the VF-X Mediax Mook and on the original VF-X game production design sheets. This is why I making my website. Too many people go to role-playing sites and think the information is accurate when it is not.

No specs or detailed information have been published for this mecha.... and its has not been designated 'variable destroid'... simply Octos for now When new information is available it can be found here: http://nanashi.macrossmecha.info/resrc/cat/vari/octos.html

not all VFs/VAs etc. have been named/designated

weapons will be added soon.... There is no data for fighter compliment.... only for the CV-7 (New Macross class) This would most likely be one of them can see: http://nanashi.macrossmecha.info/resrc/cat...ssile-2047.html and/or different missiles (reactive warhead capable) in that retracting 10-salvo missile launcher

Macross 7 episode 38 and possibly before that.

Official in the sense that Macross 7 showed this type of vessel in the water and the water was at that level. These carriers are escort to the New (Next Age) Macross class CVs which are 1500m in length-nearly three times the size. : )

The one seen in Macross VF-X 2 game is a later version. It was not Zjentohlauedy, just green appearred green because of lighting in one scene. You can view the entry for that version here: http://nanashi.macrossmecha.info/resrc/cat...rrier-2051.html

Air is the primary fuel component for a Valkyrie while it is in the atmosphere. The variable intake ramps do assist in controlling optimum airflow when needed at certain altitudes.

The super conducting ram-air recitification fan in front of the main engine is stationary. There is bendable/extendable duct connecting the two units through which the air can pass through.

There was a VTOL craft... the non-Macross design VAG-37 Rafaga which is a Variable Attack Gunship from the Capcom giant robot fighting game, Kikaio: http://www.capcom.co.jp/newproducts/arcade...aga2/index.html But, again although Shoji Kawamori designed it-it is not a Macross design.

Nanashi, you going to place any images of the VAs? I'm not sure what they look like (dummy me). That page will be linked to the VA-3 and VA-14 entries when those entries are ready and those entries will images on them.

Variable aircraft is a general term used in the text referring to any Variable craft/vehicles/mecha. 'VA' stands for "Variable Attack craft" or "Variable Attacker" as Graham as stated.

The VA-3 was in service in at the time of the Anti-Boddle Zer Fleet Battle (2010) limited numbers as they were replacing the VF-1 Valkyrie VA-1 Skull squadron (attack duty-this squadron designation for the Skull can be found in the DYRL storyboard book). The VA-14 was the variable attack craft of the Zjentohlauedy-operated Macross 5 fleet variant from which the Varuata Forces (Protodeviln) emulated/stole in 2045 to create their Az-130.

Very nice Nanashi Thanks : )

Stealth Escort Attack Aircraft Carrier: http://nanashi.macrossmecha.info/resrc/cat...ft_carrier.html Enjoy

"increased number of processes" would be all the things that a VF can do that a regular aircraft could not and/or increased roles taken on.

New translation: http://nanashi.macrossmecha.info/resrc/lit/va_series.html More to come. Enjoy.

Ouch... that was a bit harsh. Azrael, his post is relevant simply because the book contains an interview with Shoji Kawamori and the F-14 Tomcat is an essential part of Macross now more than ever. Megaroad2012, welcome to Macross World. Thank you for the info. That book looks cool.
