We don't really know the BCS was unstable. The only test pilot was a civilian with known mental illnesses, and likely would've been taken off the project immediately if it hadn't been covered up. And the BDI system gives you the kind of advanced preception of a "newtype" That's the point. The vairable camber wings may not require BCS, but they were removed from the VF-22. That's.... WORSE than Palladium RPG books. That's not even official Robotech material. Official english-language sources = Macross Compendium and Macross Compendium. All other english-language sources are unofficial, and therefore don't count. Especially when they're making stuff up like MMD is. I appreciate MMD's goal of adapting ore modern VFs to the Macross2/Robotech RPG. But it's a lousy source outside of that goal.

Two to three SECONDS? I assume you don't mean in a dogfight. While I have and do maintain that the BCS would allow greater reaction times, I don't think you'll see THAT large a difference in pure time. The larger advantage comes from the ready availability of data in an easily-processed form, allowing better-informed decisions to be made. And instant access to a wider variety of controls. To take the pinpoint barrier system as an example: On the Y/VF-19 or VF-22, the barrier disks can't be easily relocated in combat. Essentially, you'll place them on the most tactically useful spots and just tough it out(in Macross 7, you can see this quite readily, as in battroid mode Basara's disks are focused on his arm shield). On the YF-21, the barrier disks, like everything else, are an extension of the pilot's will. They go where he says to, when he says to. If a missile is headed for the cockpit, a barrier disk can slide over there and intercept it, while another one slips another direction to catch a laser aimed at an engine intake. I seriously doubt the technology was abandoned. I'd bet it's still in development. It has entirely too much promise to ignore. With the removal of BCS and variable camber wings, the VF-22 is not much different from a great number of VFs.

*whips out a Zapper* It's too late for that. You've said something that can't be taken back, you.... NON-GAMER!

Citation needed.

No sir. That was a vote for the superior vehicle with a proper man-machine interface and deformable lift surfaces. Not the pathetic cripple seen in Macross 7.

YF-21. Or the Stampede Valk. Hard not to like something with that many guns.

A. I need to get that game. B. Why no Crueltear merch?!?

I picked up a copy of ZOMG WARTECH!1111 a while back. (Seriously, the game would've sold a lot better if they hadn't tried to hide it's identity. Most of the people that cared totally overlooked it when it hit shelves because they didn't recognize it under the generic art and new name.). Haven't really played much with it. It seems very multiplayer oriented, and I'm more of a solo gamer. The concept is neat, though.

You say that like it would be a bad thing...

Indubitably. That was an awesome toyline. I never actually saw the cartoon, though.

Switch your machine to japanese and it becomes red, just like on a japanese NeoGeo. Switch it to english and it's censored like on a US NeoGeo. The blood is just a new level in authentic emulation. Also: I heard MS is releasing a new 360 revision next fall with double the RAM, an integrated terrabyte hard drive, an HD-DVD/BluRay combo drive, and compatibilty with Wii and PS3 games and accessories! Seriously, why is it that even when an article is EXPLICITLY labelled as nothing more than a wish list or speculation(which is the same thing most of the time), everyone jumps on it like it's an official company announcement?

I had texture pop EVERYWHERE. ANY time the scene changed. NOT exaggerating here. Sometimes just driving around a map. I'd find mineral deposits that the game just didn't texture until they came into view. And I was playing Ashley/Tali. Not Kaidan's fault. I don't buy the purge argument. Obviously it CAN purge the old textures from RAM, or there'd be no place to load the new ones and the game would become nothing but gradients. Sidenote: I'm curious what things would look like if the hardware designs had continued a push for ultra-high untextured poly counts and more accurate lighting models instead of changing direction for reduced poly counts and texture maps(and other "fake detailing" features that've been added since the original paradigm shift).

Just think of it as a general expletive. Same way we would say "What the hell?!?!" or "Oh, sh1t!"

I'm sure there was a sort of flash personality in Zentradi tech. Was pretty much a requirement for zentradi civilization. I just doubt they xerox'ed entire people. I figure each new clone started with a base personality and from there individual experiences made them progress differently. Either way, xeroxing whole adults would seem uncomfortably close to the zentradi post-war. I've always assumed they cloned babies and had a VERY generous incentive package on the foster parent program. Me Grimlock no want listen to him Basara's song!

Mine were chocked with Sir Not-Appearing-in-this-Film. Any character in the movie made it off shelves pretty fast. Though Prime and Bumblebee certainly had an advantage over the rest(they NEVER appeared, as opposed to rarely or only in Fast Action Battler form). ... Until the haunakwanzmas rush. Then they were choked with air and a keychain.

I shot the monkeys and got a few renegade points. Tali and Ashley both yelled at me, too.

Then why did tooling exist for Thrust's wings? Given it wasn't usable for repaints, and Thrust is probably the LEAST marketable seeker... The character roster in Classic is also pretty lopsided towards the Autobots, and the other 3 seekers would've made it a tie. I think they planned for a full set from the start, and backed out later. At best, they planned for store exclusives on the seekers and then couldn't find any takers beyond Target's Magnus/Skywarp set.

Maybe 25? I only bought one Ultra, given I didn't start buying stuff until Cybertron's endgame.

Well.... cloning doesn't transfer memories. Odds are VERY good that Macross' cloning, given it was meant to help maintain human civilization, popped out babies to be raised by adoptive parents. As for selective breeding.... Things could go several ways. I would assume all citizens were required to donate DNA, to maximize the gene pool. From there.... do you clone samples at random to maximize diversity? Or drag out the old eugenics concept and start trying to improve the species? Again, given they've just fought a war for your species' survival against a race of genetically-engineered super-soldiers. I would think that in light of that, actively tampering with the gene pool would be viewed in a rather dim light. Max and Millia's age is EASY to explain. Medical technology advanced as fast as every other kind of tech after the Macross crashed.

Supreme is the step above Leader. Ultra is in-between Voyager and Leader.

No original Zero? :'( Phantasy Star Online did it on the XBox 1. Dunno if PSUniverse does it.

Sadly, the bonuses don't stack, but the penalties do. So a drunk guy with glasses doesn't fly as well as a sober guy with glasses or a drunk guy without glasses.

What about drop-ins that DON'T grip tightly? ... Okay, so admittedly it's not a common design anymore. But my SegaCD2 needs approval.

I was referring to instances where the subs were blatantly off. It happens.
