Sentinel TV Series REF Capital Ship Numbers?

feeds@kickapps.com (rtsurfer) — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 06:54:44 PST

At what point in the REF/Pioneer Mission were these numbers supposed to apply?

From size chart: 3 Battleships, 10 Cruisers, 25 Destroyers, and 100 Frigates.

Why aren't there any Southern Cross designs? Where they going to do the Sentinels Tv series with just the TNG era designs? Anybody know?

In 2029, a Southern Cross era Capital ship returns from deep space, it has been the crew's home for 15 years, 2014. [TRM, Outsiders]
The SDF-2 was also scheduled to depart on its mission to find the Robotech homeworld in early 2014. Does this suggest that it would have had an escort fleet? [TMS, To The Stars]

Just finished watching Mospeada subbed....

feeds@kickapps.com (Basara 549) — Wed, 19 May 2010 12:47:06 PST

And, it settles a few of the long-running Robotech arguments in doing so...

(note that I was typing this free-form - I sometimes use Inbit/Invid interchangably, and different spellings for names)

1. Yes, the Blue-eyed Eager becomes the blue-eyed Gurab, which becomes the blue-eyed Gamo, which in turn becomes Batra/Corg. It can be inferred that the only other Gamo we see (the one in the Sandstorm episode) early on becomes (Solzie/Sorji)/Sera.

2. Robotech actually gives much more noble motivations for Jonathan & the Rain killer ("Dusty" in Robotech). In Mospeada, Jonathan was just a burnout, and the cyborg had been deluded by the Invid into believing that if he killed 100 soldiers (he hit 90 before that final fight), that they would restore the other half of his body. In Robotech, of course, Wolfe was sacrificing a few, to keep the town alive, and Dusty was killing those that had gave him to the Invid to experiment on, in exchange for their survival.

Protoculture as "the Force"

feeds@kickapps.com (manofsan) — Fri, 30 Apr 2010 16:40:51 PST

Remember how in the novels there was the claim that Protoculture was a guiding cosmic force? For instance, the reason that Max Sterling could outfly any opponent in the sky was apparently because of the influence of Protoculture.

Well, now read what scientists are now learning about how the basic fundamental forces of quantum physics could help a bird navigate without losing its way, or how plants can extract energy from sunlight in the most efficient way:

How long was Zor's SDF (before it became the DF-1)?

feeds@kickapps.com (rtsurfer) — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 07:34:46 PST

In "Boobytrap" the narrator says, "The craft measured nearly three quarters of a mile in length.".

Was that 3/4 mile the actual length of the craft or the portion of the craft still intact?

SDF Launch Date: Is it in the stars?

feeds@kickapps.com (CavScout) — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 18:04:12 PST

The other thread about the launch dates got me thinking, I wanted to see what a few months difference would really make in the position of planets regarding when the SDF1 launched. My assumption was the outer planets have such long orbits that, in context with the story, the date shifting would have little real impact. NASA's JPL has a neat tool that allows you to view solar objects by date! So I did, I selected the 15th of each month for the year of 2009. Show me was to "The Solar System" as seen from "above". I left the time at 0:0:0 UTC. I selected I want the body to take up 80% percent of the image width. I only selected orbits to be shown. Here is what I got:

New Mecha Speculation

feeds@kickapps.com (Vestras) — Sat, 17 Jan 2009 06:56:58 PST

Due to a combination of sleep deprivation and watching a combination of several animes in quick succession, I had a few ideas I wanted to throw passed you guys.

First off, I was watching Macross Frontier and I got to thinking that the Ex-Gear flight suits are in many ways the same sort of device as a cyclone except that they lack their own dedicated vehicle mode. The principle is the same, a survival mecha suit to aid in combat operations and escaping a downed fighter. From this I got the random image in my head of a Cyclone with the wing pack off an Ex-Gear strapped onto the back (replacing the back end of the seat in cycle mode, folded up). It strikes me that such a mecha could be possible and even desirable within the confines of the Sentinel and Invid wars. There is also some precedence in the form of the Praxian Chariot/horse mecha.

The next one I started to ponder over would be the future VHT-3. A variable hovertank which would mount a syncro cannon like...

Color Blindness in the RT Universe

feeds@kickapps.com (Vestras) — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 20:02:01 PST

I've been wondering and I wanted an opinion from you guys.

Are the Invid Color blind? All views from their equipment/eyes view have been overcast in red with the only other color differentiation being teh denote protoculture power supplies. Would you agree or disagree that Invid have no concept of camouflage in the sense of hiding in plain site via coloring?

21st Mars Division a misnomer?

feeds@kickapps.com (Vestras) — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 08:11:11 PST

Somethings been bugging me this morning. Official RT.com stuff and a few other sources keep referring to the fleet wiped out in "The Invid Invasion" collectively as the 21st Mars Division. Except I don't think that's right. Scott's with the 21st Squadron certainly, but we see other carriers listed with other numbers, denoting them as belonging to a different squad/division that Scott. Describing that whole huge force as a division seems entirely wrong to me.

It strikes me that, given Scott launched off a Horizont, the other members of his squadron did as well, and that group of A-B's and Horizonts collectively are the 21st Squadron/Division, but that we also had ships representing the 162 (Scott's later alpha), the 48th and 46th (Ikazuchis), The 22nd (A Garfish), and others during the battle. I'd say it's safe to assume that there were dozens of squads/divisions/battle groups operating in that battle. Battle groups seems most likely to...

Hypothetical: Use of the "FAST Pack" idea to supply Veritech limbs?

feeds@kickapps.com (ShadowLogan) — Sat, 03 Jan 2009 08:17:11 PST

In the Macross Saga the VF-1 Veritech receives the augmentation pack upgrade resulting in the Armored Veritech configuration over half way through the saga. Now the Macross OSM continued developing the FAST packs in a similar manner to the original (at least as far as I know). There is plenty of variation in the types of pods, but they basically boil down to the same approach.

Robotech appears to have dropped the Augmentation pack idea in favor of other approaches. The only possible candidate might be the Condor Battloid, but most people seem set on the idea...

'Tech Help

feeds@kickapps.com (Vestras) — Thu, 01 Jan 2009 23:28:32 PST

Hi there, new here, How's it goin'?

I've recently been inspired to dust off my Robotech collection and have a go at some fan fiction perhaps. In the process of reviewing the show, movie, and other segways (Sentinels video and novels etc), I had a few questions I am hoping you folks can help me with.

Now, I am flexible when it comes to "canon". I can accept the McKinley novelizations as easily as the Academy Comics and so on. TSC is good too for my purposes, and I am willing to entertain ideas from Battlecry and Invasion too. So feel free to offer differing explanations where applicable, and feel free to get technical. I don't need on-screen evidence so much as plausibility or precedence.

1) What is the life expectancy of a Zentradi?
1b) Does this expectancy change if they are micronized vs full scale?

2) Outside of Breetai, Exedore, Dana, Maia and Miriya, do we have any examples of Zentradi/descended characters...
