Re: Are E.F.F. 'goatees' equivalent to Zeonic command horns?
Aah, sorry. The pointy chins always struck me as... Separate from the chin, and looked like goatees, ergo... Anyway, for both Zeon and the Federation, one might be in a suit that certainly is both a high spec machine and has command flair/or is designated a "command" model, and not necessa...

Are E.F.F. 'goatees' equivalent to Zeonic command horns?
If there's any sort of hard source on that particular subject matter, I'd be surprised, but regardless the question per the title seemed like an interesting one to ask you guys, at the very least, to hear various opinions on the matter.

Re: Pilot curriculum
Ehhh. Say, would a MS pilot who was born and brought up inside a colony for his entire life would have a different perspective on height and distance than someone raised on Earth? The way that is written has the question as less to do with training, more to do the circumstances of their life prior t...

Re: Pilot curriculum
There is only one place, which is the central section of the colony, and it's not a living space for exactly that reason. It's also not really a place where one would normally spend a part of their developing years without a good reason. That, itself, boils down pretty quickly to occupation, and to ...

Re: Pilot curriculum
Would it? It seems to me that most spacenoids would still be bound by (simulated) gravity unless their occupation demanded it. Most people probably do not need to work at the space docks, and it's definitely a small portion of the population that are say, crewing ships or launches or what have you.

Re: Why do the bad guys usually have more different models than the good guys?
Take a quick look at the stats and tell me how you attribute out 2 x 24000 kg, 4 x 1870 kg. I mean, there's only one set of (2x2) four and one set of two, so...

Re: Why do the bad guys usually have more different models than the good guys?
The main thrusters of the GM are in the legs anyway, and can be pointed in a very wide range, at least wider than the bulky Rick Dom and Gelgoog. Stuck on anything but the OP's topic, I suppose, but where did you get this idea? Usually, for whatever reason, the feet thrusters are tragically underpo...

Re: Why do the bad guys usually have more different models than the good guys?
The GM actually has a pretty fast rotation rate when you put it into not Gundam terms. It's 100°/s. I think the F-22 at best has like 27° or 33° rotation rate...? That's off the top of my head, I know 23/24° are much more common and respectable numbers for other planes. I know mobile suits aren't pl...

Re: Why do the bad guys usually have more different models than the good guys?
At least according to current cannon the EFF had as the base GM model in production the A/B built on earth and Luna II had the [E] and it's production model the C type GM from those three models we got the various RGM and RGC units being built from those frames as bases the two worst offenders on n...

Re: Why do the bad guys usually have more different models than the good guys?
The fun thing here is that the WWII US M4 actually didn't have standardized parts, the parts manufactured by different factories in different states can be different enough so they don't fit into tanks made by another state. It is just that the manufactured tanks and parts are so numerous, all the ...

Re: Hand contact and communication
Oh, I see. I was under the interpretation that warping of light happened at "heavy" interference levels, which I assumed were greater than combat density. Since the primary constraint for the laser system is the sensor's sensitivity, which, reasonably should be pretty good in most situatio...

Re: Hand contact and communication
Zeta Gundam is the earliest work depicting that sometimes for a MS to contact with another MS or a spaceship, the pilot must put the make contact between the MS's hand and the surface of the other MS/ship. In this case, does the hand contact means that communication signal are directly transferred ...
