Fancier mecha, bigger ships, everything had to be more impressive all the time. Too focused on visuals for my taste.<br>(d) The number and size of colony fleets also struck me as somewhat unrealistic<br><br>(2) My imagination and creativity works largely in ... visuals. I need to imagine a scene before my minds eye or it doesn't work for me. Not being familiar with the newer shows that left me with the original Macross and Macross Plus as a source for my imagination. Granted, I could have incorporated a lot from M+ into this here setting, but I just didn't. Can't really say why. It just happened that way. My muse decided to go with the very basics and stick with that mostly. <br><br>(3) I wanted to explore a era when space colonization could still be relatively new, put the focus on the solar system we all know. I wanted to take things slow, have reconstruction and technology proceed not in leaps and bounds, but in a way that looked realistic to me, but still allowed Earth to have recovered somewhat from Space War I.<br><br>Edit: (4) I also kinda liked Macross II (even if the animation was rather meh in some scenes), and I think that might also have informed my muse, led to an Earth-system focused game.<br><br>I am not sure if all that really explains anything, but I guess it's what you folks will be stuck with in this game.&nbsp; ;)<br>

				(Waves hi to everyone) <br><br>I is Here! <br><br>As for your experience with 7, Personally I didn't liek the concept of "Sound Force" either. As well as Basara is a contrived character that does not change, nor develop through the entire series. He simply remained the same. I found the side characters far more entertaining than him. And don't get me started on the "Fire Valkyrie". Its control interface is absurd. From my research, Mac7 was only really popular in Japan. outside, it was a flop. Course, I may be wrong with that. <br><br>Also, any word on my character T'chak? I also still can't find any good pictures of Skarrde from Battlecry that doesn't have him looking like a grinning jack ass.&nbsp;

				I myself prefer the Original MACROSS along with DYRL but I'm also a fan of MACROSS II. <br><br>I Liked MACROSS 7 I agree that some of it's concepts (Sound Force and the control interface of the "Fire Valkyrie") were rather off but I really enjoyed the music and it's over all plot line.<br><br>What alot of people outside of Japan don't realize is that Nikki Basara isn't actually 7's main character rather Meylene Junius is. Basara doesn't change or grow as a character because he's well set in his ways and he is there to serve mostly to aid Meylene in her growth. True Basara has more of a vantage point and he may wind up saving the day more often than not but it's still not his story. Much like most MACROSS shows it's the development of many of it's characters not exactly all of them that is what make seven so much fun.

He really isn't the kind of guy to leaves a good first impression, and first impressions can count a lot. And just when I was getting used to him (or getting used to ignoring him) the show introduces Sivil. The Basara/Sivil plot really had the makings of a plot tailor made for a protagonist, and did put a lot of focus on Basara halfway through the series, only for him to come out of it still a jerk in too many ways.&nbsp; I admit, it's been a while since I watched it, but at least that's how I remember it.

Guess it just goes to show you never know till you ask the question. As for helping with you some things I can provide a bit of a better perspective. As while I like the franchise as a whole some of the entries were better than others. <br><br>&nbsp;Macross from as much as I can gather has always been about three things at it's core. Music, Love and Mecha. The original will always be the one that set the bar for the franchise. Now that being said I do kind of agree that maybe in some of the later incarnations of Macross they have been putting more and more emphasis on the music than on the mecha and the love part of it. That sadly is just a matter of catering to the fanboy crowd in Japan. As Pend pointed out M7 only ever did well in Japan. It flopped everywhere else for the reasons you mentioned.<br><br>&nbsp;Now as for the mecha and ship designs there was surprisingly a fair amount of practicality in them being so large. Each of the colony fleets themselves were designed to be in deep space for decades at a time. Now that being said if you are going to be in space that long then you need to be able to produce your own food on a level of sustainability with your population growth. Which leads into the second reason for the colonies being so large.<br><br>&nbsp;Once more these ships were designed to be in space for easily up to forty or fifty years looking for planets to colonize. So you have to go big in order to have enough space to account for population growth. As invariably when you put males and females in that close a proximity together things are bound to happen. Next thing you know bingo population growth. Now with so many people so crammed into one place at one time on such a long trip naturally people are going to get a little cabin fever. This brings me to my third point.<br><br>&nbsp;Humans no matter who they are get bored rather quickly when all they travel. It's in our nature. Most often we don't like to sit idle for too long. So there has to an element of creature comforts to pass the time away. Hence the reason for several of the colony fleets simply having a portion of the ship dedicated to well ocean front property and other aesthetically pleasing vistas. It helps relieve the tensions of well cabin fever so to speak. It also creates a place where can congregate with people who aren't military. It offers them a change of pace from the stringent and ritualized life they were trained to endure. <br>&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;Now as for the&nbsp; mecha designs themselves. It's hit and miss on what you want to include or not include. Personally speaking I liked most of the designs myself. You however don't feel the same way. Which is your opinion and I can respect that viewpoint. Now as Mac has expressed before the era you want to use isn't a bad one. It's actually from a point in history where we don't know much about and thus have a good deal of play in the story. I think the largest thing that most of the players are looking for is a little give on some things. We can keep the whole idea of "aircraft carriers in space" theme. Believe it or not I actually love this idea to death. :-) Heck the Macross universe itself offers a plethora of plot hooks we can use. From galaxy spanning empires to as simple as hunting rogue Zentradie who refuse to integrate with their others. Now this being said might I offer you a few small compromises that would go a long way to getting this game going.<br><br>1) Advance the time line five years. No more than that. This helps us in two ways. <br><br>a] One it will allow for us to expand what kind of characters we can play. We can have fully fleshed out characters who are half-bloods. It also adds for people who want to play full-blood children of Zentradie parents. Basically Zentradie who grew up around humans. The second thing and you can't exactly deny this part of Macross. <br><br>b]It will allow for us the possibility to upgrade our mecha as a story telling point. This happened in the original when they introduced the FAST system for space flight. Plus we can start out using the older tech like you want us to be since from the sense I got we won't be a mainline unit, but a fringe unit. Cause as we all know governments like to replace their military tech on a basis of trickle down mentality. :-) Plus we don't have to even go that far up the tree for improvements either. We can go as far as the VF-11 only.<br><br>&nbsp;2) Now I can't exactly speak for this part myself since I never saw it but I trust Pend and Mac on this one. Allow for the size changing of Zentradie to happen within the span of 15-20 minutes. This will provide us with a greater dynamic of character interaction, plus be a bit closer to what was used in the show itself. Even as far back as the original Super Dimensional Fortress Macross.<br><br>&nbsp;_________________________________________________<br><br>&nbsp;These were just some of the ideas I could come up with off the top of my head right now at the moment. I'm sure I'll think of more to add later. However these were just a few thoughts I had come to the conclusion after thinking about your answers.

It's difficult to find any reliable data on how long the process takes, but we can say it takes about 30 minutes. You should probably not use a resizing chamber more than once a day, and perhaps not more often than 3-4 times a week, but that should still be often enough for pilots to spend their days off work in micronized form. One problem might be alimited number of resizing chambers, i.e. people might have to wait a while before it's their turn, but we can ignore that detail unless it helps the story at some point.<br><br><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=260005.msg12843356#msg12843356">Quote from: Sessha on 15-12-2016, 22:50:56</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote"> 1) Advance the time line five years.

I imagine the VF-5 entered service around 2022, i.e. about ten years ago, and became the standard fighter not all that long after that. Given that the VF-5 is essentially a souped-up VF-1, I am sure UNSpacy would have some projects for entirely new fighters cooking somewhere. Field testing some new fighter, 10 years after the current model entered service, seems realistic to me. (In fact I already had plans to make some upgrades or field testing of new equipment part of the plot, but that's about how far I will go when it comes to revealing what I have in store for you folks.&nbsp; :D)<br><br>Now, your point (a)... I'd like to offer a counterargument: You can already play half-bloods or natural-born Zentraedi in 2032. It's been 22 years since the Battle Of Earth. Yes, those characters will have to be relatively young, somewhere in the 18-20 age bracket, but that only means they can't play a 1st Lietenant (or above). Is that really all that important? Is it really a deal-breaker that a halfblood can't be a squadron commander? If so, I'd like to hear about it from the player(s) in question, either here or by PM, please. If there are problems I don't just want to be told about them directly - I need to be told about them, given that I am not a mind reader.<br><br>That aside, here's why I think a relatively young age for these characters actually fits a Macross setting: Halfbloods and natural-born Zentraedi are a relatively new addition to both human and zentraedi societies. Doesn't it fit the themes of Macross to explore what role these people will have in society through the eyes of characters who are just coming of age as part of the very first generation of mixed-species characters? I see that as a roleplaying tool of some potential, to have these characters not spring into the game fully-formed, with years of a professional career behind them, but people who might still have to grow into whatever role they might have in society.<br><br>

Hardly a sensible idea.&nbsp; ;))<br></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br>For several reasons I can argue. <br><br>One, as Sess pointed out. People just can't live in ships indefinitely. The creature comforts allowing to ease the stress of space travel for extended periods of time. Remember, they'll be in these ships for YEARS. While Space Folding allow for very quick methods of travel, they are not instantaneous. Particularly since we find out, in Frontier, there are barriers to Space Folding. Faults as they call them that prevent ships from being able to fold, and thus have to travel through these sectors conventionally. <br><br>As for why the don't simply send Armed reconnaissance fleet out? Well, Actually they do. They're Pathfinder fleets led by<em> Macross class </em>Battle Fortresses. Yet, the Galaxy is a huge place, and their is so much unknown about it. <br><br>As for why they need a hospitable planet? Simple. That is the very foundation of the Galactic Seeding project. To ensure Humanity is never put into a position to be wiped out again. One of Global's greatest fears was being caught in another war that could wipe out the human race. So they wanted to get humans off the planet as quickly as possible to ensure their survival. Contrary to Robotech where the Canon said that Dolza only targeted the major human population centers. In Macross (According to some sources) only about 10% of the human race survived the Razing of Earth. So the humans were strongly encouraged to make babies, LOTS of babies. And with population growth, you need space. Space that is a luxury upon a space ship. Cause the more people you're carrying. the more food you need. the more water you need. the more energy you need. And even then you can simply get TOO big. They want the human race to be fruitful, and multiply, and the best way to do that is on a Hospitable Planet. Hell, in the extend-verse of Mac7. Humans were thriving even on inhospitable planets. <br><br>With the <em>New Macross Class</em>, and later <em>Island Cluster Class</em>, you have something else too. Ease of transferring infrastructure. With traditional colony ships. when you park the ship in orbit, or land on a planet, you usually have to move supplies, and infrastructure off the ship to establish the colony. With the <em>New Macross Class</em>, and <em>Island Cluster Class </em> you simply just land the ship, and expand from there. the City, and Government is already been established, and now you're just allowing people off the ship to pursue what they want. And if a sizable threat should appear, you can easily (relatively) pack up, and leave the planet. Or once the colony has been established, the Island Ships can take off once more and try to find a new planet to colonize. <br><br>As for Columbus, he wasn't looking to colonize. He was looking for an alternate shipping route to the East Indies for spices, and other valuables.

				<div class="floatright">(http://orig06.deviantart.net/2289/f/2015/028/4/e/ryuko_by_kr0npr1nz-d8fqyq6.jpg)</div><br>Lets try this again.<br><br><strong>Name:</strong> Kathryn Foss<br><strong>Callsign:</strong> Dwarf/Dorf<br><strong>Race:</strong> Human<br><strong>Sex:</strong> Female<br><strong>Age:</strong> 23<br><strong>Occupation:</strong> Veritech Pilot, RIO<br><strong>Rank:</strong> 1st Lieutenant<br><br><strong>Description:</strong> <br>Kathryn is <em>just</em> tall enough to meet the minimum height requirements for being a pilot. She keeps herself in excellent physical shape, refusing to (or perhaps afraid of) being denied flight privileges due to physical reasons. Self-described as being "smol, but also (ง •̀_•́)ง". Her short stature, wiry physique, nerdy interests, somewhat bellicose attitude, and impressive ability to consume alcohol earned her the callsign 'Dwarf'.<br><br><strong>Background:</strong> <br>Kathryn was born to a happy and moderately well off family on Earth, with a single older sister (Millie). As a child, she dreamed of flying through the stars. She did (and still does) wave model ships around and make 'whoosh' and 'pew-pew' noises. The UN SPACY was her only real path to that, so she took it as soon as she could. The day she crossed the threshold of being tall enough to be a pilot was easily one of the happiest days of her life.<br><br>Kathryn has some limited combat experience against non-peer opponents (has been in combat, but not against a 'real' opponent). Most of her prior experience was in flying the equivalent of a F-16 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Dynamics_F-16_Fighting_Falcon) to the VF-1's F-14 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grumman_F-14_Tomcat). She finds her current craft heavy and sluggish by comparison, but 'fortunately' she's generally not in a combat pilot seat anymore, instead running ELINT and EWAR systems or flying around someone operating those systems. Possibly as a result of her piloting experience, she strongly favours the gunpod over missiles in combat.<br><br><strong>Your 3 best attributes / skills:</strong> Hot-Blooded, Patient, Situationally Aware<br>Kathryn has a fiery passion for almost all things in life, but is capable of a surprising amount of patience. The outcome of a battle is often decided by who makes the first mistake, and she's quite capable of waiting for her opponent to err. While her pure piloting/dogfighting skill are sub par for a combat pilot, she excels in keeping herself in a position where differences in piloting skill are irrelevant. She can hurry up and wait like no other.<br><br><strong>Your 2 worst attributes / skills:</strong> Insecure, Hedonistic<br>Despite being very good at hiding it, Kathryn is remarkably insecure, and tends to overcompensate for her fears. This shows up most obviously in her attention to PT and maintaining her form, but it can show up in other ways as well. A core insecurity of hers is being temperamentally unfit for military service; she fears her personality skews too independent/hedonistic to truly fit into military life, and overcompensates by being excessively enthusiastic about doing things she thinks she's 'supposed' to do. This typically manifests as drinking way too much while on leave and then curling up into a ball and crying while asleep. She's also a pilot, not a soldier; when she was waving her toys around as a child, it was the 'whoosh', not the 'pew pew', that captivated her. <br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">That is either one of the worst or one of the better lines I've ever written.

				Well, since you posted her here, I'll also respond in public. Perhaps that is for the best, as it might give others a chance to see how I might evaluate character applications.<br><br>All in all I like her. What I am not completely certain is how you square Hot-Blooded with Patient. Perhaps "hot-blooded" as one of her strongest aspects is a bit much? You could replace it with "high tolerance to alcohol" just for a fun quirk and to mention that again?<br><br>Why did she develop this strong interest in fighter planes? Was a family member involved with the military? Did she grow up around a military base? If you say she just is this way that's okay, but perhaps it would be interesting to develop that part of her background a bit more?<br><br>Her rank: Given that you state that she isn't really all that suited to the military life, I am tempted to rule her a 2nd Lt. If you really want her to be a 1st Lt., that rank will probably be probationary and something she will have to work on keeping.<br><br>And don't worry about the "personality" part. Some people like to add it to a profile, some don't. As long as I get enough from the character profile to get a solid idea on a character's personality I am not worried if someone spelly it out in detail or not.

The difference in pressure can be nasty, so the flight suit would be designed to compensate for it. <br><br>So... instead of something slipping out&nbsp; inadvertendly, I'd be more concerned about something staying <em>in</em> when it's not supposed to be.&nbsp; ;)

The bad guys had more unique mecha than those in Delta Platoon. Also once more NUNS are a bunch of chumps and the first half over bad guys and such. The villain's overall plan wasn't too bad. Pretty cliché but really there isn't much for villain plots that isn't these days honestly so I give it a pass. <br><br>&nbsp;Once more Delta had some interesting concepts, ideas and potential but was horribly executed.

				well if you look at alot of the characters in Space War One you did have maybe three or four who were pushing early to mid 50's but by 2032 they wouldn't be in active service anymore unless they are just base commanders or clerks or something.<br><br>regarding Sessh's problem with the whole overused coming of age story...yeah it's Anime the majority of it is going to be that type of story since that's the majority of the audience (intended anyways) that's why that plot is so popular. as for older folks like us we get into anime to either make fun of that crowd or just because we find alot of the deeper between the lines stuff more fun to find. if you're getting tired of that plot then you aren't going to be watching too much anime for quite a while.

				<div class="floatright">(http://orig06.deviantart.net/2289/f/2015/028/4/e/ryuko_by_kr0npr1nz-d8fqyq6.jpg)</div><br><strong>Name:</strong> Kathryn Foss<br><strong>Callsign:</strong> Dwarf/Dorf, 'Vibe' (unofficial)<br><strong>Race:</strong> Human<br><strong>Sex:</strong> Female<br><strong>Age:</strong> 23<br><strong>Occupation:</strong> Veritech Pilot, RIO<br><strong>Rank:</strong> 2nd Lieutenant<br><br><strong>Description:</strong> <br>Kathryn is <em>just</em> tall enough to meet the minimum height requirements for being a pilot. She keeps herself in excellent physical shape, refusing to (or perhaps afraid of) being denied flight privileges due to physical reasons. Self-described as being "smol, but also (ง •̀_•́)ง". Her short stature, wiry physique, nerdy interests, somewhat bellicose attitude, and impressive ability to consume alcohol earned her the callsign 'Dwarf'.<br><br><strong>Background:</strong> <br>Kathryn was born to a happy and moderately well off family on Earth, with a single older sister (Millie). As a child, she dreamed of mecha and flying through the stars. She did (and still does) wave model ships and robots around, making 'whoosh' and 'pew-pew' noises. The UN SPACY was her only real path to that, so she took it as soon as she could. The day she crossed the threshold of being tall enough to be a pilot was easily one of the happiest days of her life.<br><br>Her interest in veritech most likely began as a child, during the Zentradi invasion where an early veritech fighter was instrumental in saving her sister's life. If such a thing could protect her big sister (who protected her), she would need to fly one to protect others. Millie ended up working as some form of medical research scientist, but Kathryn's excited, jargon filled ravings about her big sister's awesome research remain unintelligible to her wingmates.<br><br>Kathryn has some limited combat experience against non-peer opponents (has been in combat, but not against a 'real' opponent). Most of her prior experience was in flying the equivalent of a F-16 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Dynamics_F-16_Fighting_Falcon) to the VF-1's F-14 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grumman_F-14_Tomcat). She finds her current craft heavy and sluggish by comparison, but 'fortunately' she's generally not in a combat pilot seat anymore, instead running ELINT and EWAR systems or flying around someone operating those systems. Possibly as a result of her piloting experience, she strongly favours the gunpod over missiles in combat. Somewhat hypocritically/amusingly, she tends to argue that missiles are superior to guns, and will tend to favour suggesting tactical positions for her wingmates that favor them.<br><br><strong>Your 3 best attributes / skills:</strong> Feisty, Determined, Situationally Aware<br>Kathryn has a fiery passion, and (most of the time) the ability to maintain that fire. While neither bloodthirsty nor foolhardy, she does have a tendency to be the 'first one in, last one out' if given a choice/opportunity. She rarely burns out, and can maintain her enthusiasm, creativity and goal-focus for a surprising amount of time, making her surprisingly flexible for someone so bloody-minded.<br><br>While her pure piloting and gunnery skills are not the best, Kathryn has some of the best situational awareness there is. She wins most of her fights by getting and staying in the right place at the right time, and waiting for her opponent to slip up. Like anyone, she can be goaded into taking unreasonable risks, but she generally finds the prospect of defeating someone supposedly better than her by making them appear less patient than the supposed hothead. Somewhat to her annoyance, this has resulted in her gaining a RIO position instead of an Intercept position.<br><br><strong>Your 2 worst attributes / skills:</strong> Insecure, Mouth is Faster than Brain<br>Due to her barely being tall enough to qualify for flight privileges, Kathryn is remarkably insecure about being denied her wings, and tends to overcompensate for this. This most obviously shows up in her attention to PT and maintaining her physical fitness, but it also manifests in her obsessive filing of reports and paperwork. While this would generally be an advantageous trait for an officer's career, it tends to result in her overworking herself and failing to keep up on the very paperwork she exhausted herself on. A common infraction of hers is having a berth 'unbefitting the dignity of the Corps', ie having a messy room with sex toys laying about. In one particularly egregious incident, a vibrator slipped out of her uniform during a readiness inspection, earning her the pseudo-callsign 'Vibe'. The 'Vibe' callsign is mostly limited to in-jokes, drunken pup crawls, and reports the writer thinks no-one will read; it sees more use when interacting with civilians than other members of the military.<br><br>The other limiting factor on her career is that, despite her best efforts, her mouth also tends to run faster than her brain. While a quick wit and willingness to speak ones mind is also generally seen as a positive, the inability to keep ones mouth shut has a long and glorious history of screwing people over, and Kathryn is no exception. While she rarely throws the first punch in a fight, her mouth is usually the instigating factor. <br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> <br><sub>(ง •̀_•́)ง</sub>

Since the Megaroad 1 left a few years after the events of the end of the first series which ended in 2012. Or just how much have been changed I guess is my real question. <br></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>Good question, and I must confess that I haven't thought about it all that hard, yet. But lets say the timeline of space colonization goes something like this:<br>2012: Megaroad 01 leaves Earth and vanishes a few years later.<br>2016: Megaroad 02 leaves Earth and settles the planet Eden.<br>2019: Megaroad 03 launched<br>2029: Megaroad 04 launched<br>2034: Projected launch date for the Megaroad 05<br><br>In the 2020s space colonization slows down. With the colony on Eden established and another colonization effort under way with the Megaroad 03 fleet, sending out more colonists might no longer be a priority. I think there would also be a shortage of personnel. While there might be enough people willing to venture into space, qualified crew members for these ships would still be needed, and after three colonization fleets you'd probably run out of crew members by now. Training the next generation of pilots and such will take time. Without major threats to Earth, the public might also no longer see a pressing need for space colonization, calling for more resources devoted to the rebuilding of Earth, and the colony on Eden gives everyone who wants to leave Earth a destination to head for.<br><br>But while there might only be a small number of colonization fleets, during all the last 20 years scouting fleets have been sent out to search for habitable planets. Those fleets would be mostly crewed by Zentraedi, with some human scientists and engineers too. Each of those scouting groups would be in space for a few years, before returning to Earth for routine repairs and crew rotation, each group exploring perhaps a dozen systems a year, sometimes spending only a few days in one system, sometimes studying a planet for several months. (And while I use the word "fleet" here, by Zentraedi standards, these are just small groups. Say maybe 10 or 12 ships in each "fleet".)<br><br>Meanwhile, on Earth... <br><br>I'd say that at least several tens of millions survived the Zentraedi onslaught, perhaps even a few hundred million. The death toll would still be extremely high, but put the number any lower and you might not have enough of a population to rebuild civilization. (I also want to avoid a situation where humanity is just one medium-sized city and nothing more. That could be interesting, but it offers too few options for player characters.)<br><br>Most Zentraedi living on Earth would be micronized by now, with most giant-sized Zentraedi living in space, either on ships or on the factory satelite. <br><br>There will be rogue Zentraedi around, mostly in the outer solar system, around Jupiter and Saturn, sometimes probing the Mars and Moon perimeter, but as long as they leave Humanity alone, mankind leaves them alone too. They are considered more a nuisance than a real threat.<br><br><hr><br><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=260005.msg12851634#msg12851634">Quote from: ThisOneGal on 20-12-2016, 07:26:47</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote"><strong>Name:</strong> Kathryn Foss<br><strong>Callsign:</strong> Dwarf/Dorf, 'Vibe' (unofficial) ...<br></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br>Approved.&nbsp; :-)<br><br>Post her in the character thread whenever you like, and if you don't want to add any details about her personality (beyond what can be gleaned from the rest of her profile), just leave that out.

After coming out of the clone vats she like all Zentradie before her went to the front lines. She would serve with distinction and merit in her unit.

Certainly nowhere near as good as the vaunted Milia Farina herself.&nbsp; She was finally transferred to serve under Commander Azonia and would sortie under her banner during the campgains to re-capture the Macross. <br><br>Then came the final climatic battle between the humans and the Zentradie.

Here's how I see everyone at game start:<br><br>Zilkin Kaverosky (Relikai) = I'd say has been on the base for at least a few weeks. As I allow him as a squadron commander, having him arrive only at game start would mean he would have his hands full for days, maybe weeks, to just get settled in, organize things, get acquainted with his pilots. Better to assume all that has already happened.<br><br>T'chak (Mac) = Will arrive at game start. There's something about his character that he and I decided would be fun to play through, and it can only happen when he arrives on the base.<br><br>Zephorus (Pendarius) and Kathryn Foss (ThisOneGal) = As they both play RIOs, I see them ending up in the same squadron. If they arrive at game start I can play out the first meeting with their COs and squadron mates for both of them in one go. I'd like to do that, so they will be new arrivals.<br><br>Max Cosinara (orderNchaos) = I'll leave it to you. My current play is to pair Max up with one of the RIOs. If not those two might both end up with NPC pilots and that's not ideal. If we do it that way, Max could arrive together with Zephorus and Kathryn, or she could have been around for a while and gotten to know Zilkin. <br><br>Kyclia Halcyon (Sessha) = Again I'd say player's choice. While I could potentially pair her up with a RIO too, I think Kyclia might be better suited for a fighter squadron. Could be Zilkin's squadron, could be an NPC's squadron. I'll leave that decision to Sessha.<br><br><del>There's also Terian's character (a Q-R pilot), who is pretty much ready to be approved, except for one or two small background details that I'd like him to add. That character probably will start the game already on the base.</del> (Looks like scheduling conflicts/lack of time might have worked against that.)<br><hr><br>As for characters knowing each other from before they were transferred to the Moon, that might be possible, but it is actually not all that likely, given the size of the Space Forces. I did a bit of thinking on that over the last couple of days and arrived at something in the vicinity of at least 150 ships with about 35,000 mecha of various types. That's a whole lot of people.

				And now to something completely different...<br><br><strong>Post order.</strong><br><br>I don't really mind all that much if someone "jumps the line", so to speak. What is important to me is that a scene flows naturally. I think we are all old enough to call for a hold if one of us feels we can't get a post in edgewise, just as I believe we are all sensitive enough to figure when perhaps waiting a little might be for the better.<br><br>So, basically, if you are in a scene and feel you can contribute to the scene by posting a little earlier (or a little later) you just go ahead with what feels right from a witer's perspective (and when in doubt just drop everyone a line here and talk it over).<br><br>

How about PMing me with your thoughts about it?<br><br><hr><br>Speaking of PMs... Mac was mentioning something to me that I was also thinking about, and that is the weapons/equipment load of the Hawk and Phantom squadrons. Flying recon missions unarmed may be somewhat realistic, but it's not all that much fun to go out there completely unarmed. Sure, if a major conflict starts your fighters will be armed at least a little, but having no weapons at all does limit what can happen unexpectedly in the roleplay. <br><br>So, despite the typical weapons load of the recon and electronic attack fighters, here's how it will look in practice, for the crews of EW-Wing 05:<br><br>(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/c/c5/EW05LoadoutsMacross2032JPG.jpg)<br><br>Phantom will have only 6 missiles instead of 8, but carry a gun pod. (The rest is ECM and a little bit of ECCM)<br><br>Hawk also will use a gun pod, and carry two long-range missiles for self defence on wingtip hardpoints. Wait a minute, you say. Wingtip missiles? Why doesn't everyone use them? This is a peacetime navy. Every time you load and unload a weapon it puts strain on the equipment. If it's not strictly needed, avoiding wear and tear is always a good idea. So how come Hawk uses them? Answer: Ask your CO in-character.&nbsp; ;)<br><br>

Why doesn't everyone use them? This is a peacetime navy. Every time you load and unload a weapon it puts strain on the equipment.

Changing the wing geometry for different flight regimes is unnecessary outside an atmosphere, therefore the wings can be fully extended all the time. The only situation where I can see folding them back could be a small advantage is while taxiing inside the base, but if weapons are loaded and unloaded on the hangar deck, right before start and after landing, that's not much of a problem.<br><br>It's true that wingtip missiles will prevent the wings from being folded against the back of a VF in Battroid mode - but so does the underwing equipment. I'm afraid you'll have to get used to the idea of battroids with the wings sticking out, and I don't expect it to make much of a difference when operating inside Zentraedi ships and the like. We see VFs in Guardian mode operating inside ships on several occasions. If a place is big enough for a Guardian to operate with its wings extended it shouldn't be a problem for a Battroid with wings "out" either. Oh, and should it ever become a problem, I guess you'll just have to decide which equipment you'll leave behind in order to fold the wings back. Difficult decisions are always good in a roleplay, aren't they.&nbsp; ;)

				Okay, so this is my final word on the Hawk squadron standard equipment load. We can argue about real world analogs and such till we are all blue in the face, but in the end you will have to trust me that it does not matter all that much. In the end it's people who win wars, not pieces of equipment - at least in this here setting.<br><br>(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/0/0d/EW05EquipmentMacross2032JPG.jpg)<br><br>So, what will you get?<br><br>1) No wingtip missiles. Maybe that wasn't such a brilliant idea, given that it deviates a lot from the loadout of other craft. But the possibility might still exist. It's something that may still show up in a "boss fight".<br>2) One enlarged sensor pod, to make up for the hardpoint lost to missiles. This is a specialized piece of equipment, produced only in limited numbers. Expect to see it only on recon planes. (Guess I had my blinders on there for a while when I only juggled around the pods I had already created, instead of considering an enlarged version.)<br>3) One missile package, but it will be either medium- or long-range missiles. Sorry, but no rocket pod. If a recon plane has one advantage it is that it can spot (and target) enemy craft at long range. Using "micro missiles" gives that advanatage away, and for close-range work you still have your gun pod. <br>4) EW equipment: A communications booster to keep in touch with your base, even on a long-range patrol. An optical sensor pod (high-res cameras and the like). And ECCM module to help you look through enemy jamming. One large sensor module that consists primarily of phased array radar/lidar and some gravimetric sensors that will let you detect hyperspace fold events.<br><br>I think this is about as close as I can get to making you folks happy without making myself unhappy.

				My rambling suggestions would be to just rearrange the position of the pods. Look at this, for instance:<br><br>(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b7/F-14_Tomcat_preparing_to_refuel.jpg)<br><br>It has basically five mounting points (three under the fuselage, two on the racks near the wings), but nothing mounted on the wings themselves. You could bump the number of mounts up to seven by saying the near-wing rack things have two (one on the outer side, one underneath). I'd personally drop the number of mounts down from seven though; having fewer variable things forces the roles to be more clearly defined, as you have to drop everything extraneous to the mission the craft is loaded for.<br><br>The other thing I might do is make it so the center rack is always a gunpod. Partly because it means any craft can turn into a mech or have dogfighty fun, but it also adds the whole 'every trooper is a rifleman' thing. Every Valkyrie is a dogfighter. It also narrows down the options even further, since each craft only has four slots to play with.<br><br>Rough loadouts:<br><br>VF: short/rocket/gunpod/rocket/gunpod (optionally swap one for ammo)<br>VFA: long/shot/gunpod/short/long<br>VA: torp/torp/gunpod/torp/torp<br>VQP: ew/ew/gunpod/ew/ew<br>VAQ: long/ew/gunpod/ew/long<br><br>One boon I particularly like is giving the VA wing a gunpod. It gives them something to do apart from be a torpedo bus; once they've delivered their payload, they a super light interceptor with just a gunpod, so they have a completely different role to play after completing their primary mission.<br><br>Another thing you could do (that I'm kinda iffy about; it could work, but i'm mostly doing it out of a desire for symmetry and possibly because I'll be a VQP pilot) is give the VQP a modified gunpod/fuelpod mount, with the quirk that you can't transform while the fuelpod is attached. Since they're not generally expecting trouble on patrol, that's fine, but it does throw in the tactical wrinkle of having to choose between going battloid early or using your extra fuel.<br><br>That should give every flight its own interesting thing. VF's have the option of getting extra ammo, VA's have the 'change combat role entirely mid mission' thing, VQP's have the wierd combo gun/fuel pod, and VAQ's have the stealth attack thing. VFA's don't really get anything though.<br><br>Anyways. It's 4AM and I'm rambling. I should go to bed. I've been looking blankly at my post for hours and all I've managed is the header.<br><br><div class="floatleft">(http://orig06.deviantart.net/2289/f/2015/028/4/e/ryuko_by_kr0npr1nz-d8fqyq6.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong> Kathryn Foss<br><strong>Date:</strong> March 11, 2032, 16:00<br><strong>Location:</strong> Ready Room 04<br><strong>With:</strong> T'chak, Kathryn Foss, Max Cosinara, Zephorus<br><hr><br><br><br><br><br><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=260005.msg12882114#msg12882114">Quote from: Cassandra LeMay on 04-01-2017, 10:19:19</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Hmmm....

Tired of the feeling that I have to defend this setting against the players and justify my every decision. I would rather roleplay than design the perfect spacefighter.<br><br>If one of you cares more about the machine they fly than the pilot they play I can't help it. I am at the point where I will no longer give a damn about "fine tuning" details of the setting just to please players. And that goes for everyone. It's not just about you Gal. I put a good few hours into this setting and I feel the need to be done with that. If that's not good enough for some of you that's too bad. <br><br>Yes, I know I sound caustic, but every time we talk about details like this it brings my muse to a screaching halt and forces me back to the worldbuilding drawing board. I can not get into the heads of NPCs as long as my head spins around and round, focused on technical details. That's not a good way to tell a good story. But telling a good story is what I want to do. And not a good story about machines - a good story about people who just happen to fly those machines. Right now I really wanted to write some NPCs into the Roast In Space, but as much as tried - I couldn't. I was too damn frustrated, too damn wondering how important some of those technical details might be to some of you. Can you imagine how frustrating that is for me, especially after all the hours I already put into this?<br><br>Again, I ask those of you who care about those details to just trust me at least a little. If the story calls for a fighter to be loaded with seven fire-linked gun pods you will get them. If the story calls for you to fly a plane that carries nothing but EW equipment you will get it. Have a little faith and don't look too closely at the standard loadouts. That's all they are - standards. Mission specific profiles can - and will - varry.<br><br>And on this note I will end this rant and leave you all to make of it what you will, but I have to draw a line somewhere and this it it. You will get the craft you are assigned to, when you are assigned it. And that is just that. <br><br>At some point we have to "fix" the setting, get it to the point where people can rely on it not being changed over and over again, where the foundation is solid enough to build on it. As far as I am concerned we are at that point. We can add to it, add restaurants or shops to The Park, add some minor NPCs, things like that, but I am no longer willing to entertain any major changes to the fighters or squadron operations.

And I don't buy it. It's nice as a handwaving device for the writers of the shows, but I see a few problems with it:<br><br>(i) Where does the technology come from? Sure, the Zentraedi are clones, but are they cloned on their battleships, or are there centralized clone factories that "mass produce" soldiers? My impression is it's the latter, so you would need to get your hands on a "clone sattelite" to get the technology. <br>(ii) Are the clones just artificial, lab-grown babies, or adults? If they spring from the clone chambers as adults, how do they get memories, skills, personalities? Zentradi are fairly "basic" in their skill set and personalities (no offense to our Zentraedi characters), but for people to work in a Human society you might want a bit more, something more complex, and I don't think we are ever shown anything in Macross that could really account for such complex memory transfer technology during the rebuilding phase after Space War One. But if they are just artificial babies, who raises them in a war-torn world that is just getting back on its feet? Sure, repopulating the world may be all well and good, but shouldn't you re-build the world before you unleash countless babies on it?<br><br>2 - Population Figures after Space War One<br><br>Somewhere I read the figure of 8,000,000 Zentraedi joining Humanity after the war. Lets go with that. But how many humans are left. Something like "less than 1%" has been mentioned here and there, far as I can tell. Lets start with a population of 6 billion and that would give us 60 million or less. Personally I think that's too low. I admit that that's just me, but I would go with something like 2%, maybe 3%. Those survivors would be widely dispersed around the globe so just consolidating them in viable communities could take a few years, but something like 100 million survivors sounds like a nice, round figure to build on.<br><br>3 - Where that leads<br><br>Assuming about 100,000,000 people on Earth (Humans and Zentraedi) in 2010 and further assuming a population growth rate of 2% gives us a population of about 154,000,000 in 2032. As I am going with a slower intitial speed for space colonization that would leave about 150 million on Earth in 2032. <br><br>Quite a few people probably moved to Eden, given that that planet is more viable, more Earth-like than Earth in a way, so lets say 20 million have moved to Eden over the last decade or so. That still leaves us 130 million people on Earth. <br><br>I am not making any long-term projections how this game might eventually align with a major space coloinzation drive that could bring our setting in line with Macross Seven or Frontier, but that would still be enough to account for several dozens of fleets with a hundred thousand people (or more) each, while still leaving Earth with a large enough population to be self-sustaining at some point in the future.<br><br>And all without the need for cloning.<br><br>As I said, this is pretty much me thinking out loud and sharing my thoughts, but it is what I will use in our setting, unless someone can spot a serious flaw in my line of thinking.

				Added Mac's "Zipangu" pub to the Worldbuilding and The Park threads. <br><br>I'll add a restaurant, once I find the right image for the owner, probably a steak house or maybe something Italian. That should give us enugh options for bars and restaurants for now, but if someone has a new idea for a business/eatery, let me know. Having enough options for the roleplay doesn't mean we can't still add a bit more color and background details.

				I have a question....concern really.&nbsp; Having a Micronized Zentradi who's 6'7" tall is going to make for a VERY uncomfortable ride in the back of a Veritech.&nbsp; I don't know if anyone has ever actually sat in the the back of a two seat fighter aircraft (I have) or a single seat fighter aircraft (I have) but someone that tall is going to spend more time fighting with his knees or bumping his head on the glass of the cockpit.&nbsp; 6'3" is REALLY about the tallest anyone sitting in a fighter would want to be.&nbsp; And that's going to be pushing it.&nbsp; <br><br>Just wanted to put in my .02.&nbsp;

				Only that your point work mostly by taking things into account that are not canon for this game, so I think the question is justified, Mac.

However, since the series focused on Hikaru Ichijo, and those immediately surrounding him, We see a very small perchentage of the actual fighter compliment of the SDF-1 Macross. <br><br>On the day of the SDF-1's launch (Feb 7, 2009) the SDF-1 had a compliment of 212 VF-1 Valkryies Fighters. 120 VF-1A, 12 VF-1D (trainers), 50 VF-1J, 30 VF-1S. The docking of the Prometheus added an addition 150 variable fighters, but the break down is not listed. For a total of 270. Going up even further to 300+ Super VF-1s after Feb 10, 2010<br><br>For the DYRL Version of the SDF-1 the ship's compliment of VF-1 Valkryies was the same, but with the inclusion of the ARMDs docked to the ship boosted the Macross's fighter compliment by 262 VF-1s Each for a total compliment of&nbsp; 644 VF-1 Fighters. Again, compliment break down not included. <br><br>So yes, the likely hood of female pilots, particularly in the circumstances that the Macross was in during both the Movie, and the Original Series would lend it self to be a fair amount of female pilots through simple attrition.&nbsp;

High-ranking female in operations does not equal them as pilots. I can point to many women who pre 1980 achieve high-rank operations areas in the US military, none were combat pilots (or in any sort of combat unit--that does not mean none saw combat, war has a nasty habit of not following the 'rules'). I agree with Cassandra due to the time the original was made women pilots were probably not even considered. That said, I also agree that just because we did not see them when we were only exposed to a very small part of the "story" does not mean they did not exist. <br><br>Let's consider the source Japan, despite a long history of kick-ass females in anime did not issue a call for female combat pilots &nbsp;(http://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2015/11/11/national/japan-to-issue-first-ever-recruiting-call-for-female-fighter-pilots/#.WIPF4BsrJPY)until 2015.<br><br>Anyway, if we can play either I'll have to think.

				&nbsp;The other thing to consider in this whole affair is that while yes the series did come out in the early 1980s it's almost always a good idea to go with the fact that we integrated both men and women into roles as combat pilots. Mostly largely based on the fact the series proper takes like in 2009-2010. Also with how multi-national the support was I can't really believe the fact that women as pilots would be left out. Case in point was another series that was done, Southern Cross Calvary. It came out not too long after Macross. Not only was the main commander of the tank unit a woman but one of the BEST pilots of their air forces was also a female.

During the 80s you could count them on two hands. Funny, how sometimes, with notable exeptions, some Sci-fi from that era looked to the future when it came to tech but not socially. Or I should say TV Sci-fi because it had to appeal to a mass audience with the predominant values of the time it was aired. Other media like books presented alternatives all the time, The Forever War, the works of Heinlein, Piers Anthony, and many others challenged these norms. Even in Japan things were challenged with an assortment of character with fluid gender identities, as in Genesis Climber Mospeada. As I said Anime had has a long tradition of Kick-ass females in combat roles, for many a kid growing up in the 70s and 80s anime may very well have been the first or one of the first exposures we had to a woman who could kick ass, outside of comics that is. I know Miriya/Milia was my favorite Robotech/Macross character. Yeah, I saw Robotech first like many from my generation, anime was hard to get in the 80s and a single VHS tape with 3-5 episodes of a series ran between $70 and $100 in 1985 (that is about $220 in today's dollars).<br><br>Anyway, I only asked to make sure it was allowed since female human combat pilots in canon Macross sources are so rare. Though I do enjoy a good debate, I think it is healthy so long as folks are civil (which all here have been).

But if we are talking about combat scenes, the simple fact of the matter is that not everyone will be in the same fight, unless it is a big badass big-boss type fight. Sometimes people will have to sit out a fight because having an at least a semi-realistic setting means not everyone in the same squadron will be on duty at the same time. And sometimes people will just have to sit out a fight because the threat might be too small to throw a whole squadron at it.

				Guess sometimes English being a second language for me can lead me to a slightly more literal interpretation of what someone said than what was perhaps intended.

				Just my two cents and this may be a cultural thing (and Cassandra if you are aware of this I mean no offense) but for the last several years many employers and organizations in America have instituted a policies that say something to the effect of,"don't raise and issue unless you also offer a solution." Again maybe you know that and maybe that is not what happened here, I only bring it up to point out that for some what you ask may go against cultural conditioning.

				Well depending on how long Kali has been on base (and of course Cass will need to weigh in on this) we could say that Max was asked to bring Kali up to speed on the VF-5 in regards to combat capability and differences between the 1's and the 5's.&nbsp; If Cass agrees, we can have Kali on base since the 5th which could mean throw her into a one-on-one lesson with Max like the 7th and a fam flight on the 8th.&nbsp; We'll need to do "flashbacks" in regards to time, but that's easy enough.&nbsp; <br><br>Thoughts?

She's been back in the service for 2 years now. I would assume she had ample time to get familiar with the VF-5 and was trained on it as part of earning her flight credentials back. Kali isn't really "getting back into the cockpit" now - that happened two years ago.<br><br>That said, I see a couple options to start something for Miss Callahan.<br><br>One would be your usual chance encounter scenario. Given that both are pilots that's easy enough, but perhaps Kali and Zilkin are neighbors (or at least live in the same apartment building). They could literally run into each other as Max sneaks out of Zilkin's place one day. Clichéd? Yes, sure. But this is an anime-based game, so why not?&nbsp; ;) <br><br>Another option for a chance encounter could be during off-duty hours, somewhere in The Park. Exploring how Max spends her off-duty hours (when not with Zil) is something to consider, I'd say. And how serious is Max about Zil? Would she be curious about how someone else managed to combine family life and career? (Again, a cliche, but see above.)<br><br>Hah. And now that I think about it, maybe the solution is even easier. Max qualified on the 5 ... about a year ago? Maybe they were both trained on the VF-5 together? While I would assume Kali would have qualified on the 5 a little earlier than that, putting them together in the same VF-5 classes some time back wouldn't stretch thing too much, I think.<br><br><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=260005.msg12938511#msg12938511">Quote from: Mac84 on 28-01-2017, 03:41:39</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">If Hell is lookign for a place to slip his Character in, I could say She meets up with T'chak, and Foss at Zipangu, but not sure how she would "Stumble" across the place since it is one of those places that you only really find after you get lost.<br></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>It's easy enough to assume that Kali has been on the base for a while now.

				I'm still quite interested in this story as a HUGE Macross fan. However, this is a difficult quandary I see ourselves in. I feels that the players characters are too spread out to really have any organic interaction with each other. Not without forcing a interaction really. <br><br>And allowing Players to add more characters will not help unless we close the distance between them. Actually having characters move about in the same circles. While Yes, our characters may be all Pilots, that doesn't mean they're all Acquaintances. Fighter Pilots would hang out with other fighter pilots. As would Recon, and Attack. Occasionally their paths may cross cause of the size of the base, but that doesn't necessarily mean they'll interact in any meaningful way other than "Hello, See ya.". <br><br>While Shuffling assignments around may help, one does have to be mindful of the Characters Skill set. It was suggested that Both Max, and T'Chak would be assigned together. The Problem with this is that both Max, and T'chak are Pilots. Neither are trained (as far as I can see, and I know that T'Chak is not) as RIOs. I also can not see T'Chak accepting an assignment as a RIO. He is already having to swallow a great deal of pride by being a Recon Pilot. <br><br>These are just my thoughts on the issue.
