Thanks AmuroNT1 and Strike Zero!

Besides these name only variations there was the novel stuff, pretty interesting

[Calubin_175]

Does the chart include all the game exclusive units or just a select few(only name in words), the few that are considered canon without the motivation of being designed purely for gameplay mechanics?

Games usually include new variants which are redundant and exists to to splice up gameplay.

EDIT: Hmm, AGE-1 only had Swordian, so the rest of those funny ones aren't considered canon then.

WHY ISN't Pioneer Alpha or G Bouncer Deos on the chart? Is there a scan available from the book that even gives a mention of them? Cheers.

The chart is also missing a few units from Unknown Soldiers, like Age-1 Razor.

From the novel we got:
-Genoace Cannon: appears on the chart. Uses a backpack 30cm Rail Cannon, during the Nora destruction even this cannon couldn't pierce the Gafran armor, however by the Ambat battle it had been equipped with armor piercing shells.
-Genoace Type 791: belongs to the 8th Fleet and is equipped with head 60mm Vulcans, performance is the same as the vanilla one.
-RGE-2300XR Pioneer α: G-Bouncer variation for X-Rounders. No further info besides 6 them being raped by the Ghirarga protecting Big Ring.
-The name for the new EFF ship from 3rd Gen: Dyaus Class.

And if anyone want the MS designers interviews just ask

[Calubin_175]

Those Thielva bits are from Madorna Workshop aren't they? I haven't read a source hinting that it was Vagan origin.

I'll try to read those development pages later.

EDIT: Started reading on bits of the Vagan part.

Though it wasn't clear to what extend MS were used on Mars during the former century, around AG 100 when the Vagans harboured ambitions against Earth, they had 3 types of mainstay MS; the Gafran for long range invasion and reconnaissance, the general purpose Dorado, and the close range combat Baqto.

Since the Vagans were exiled to Mars prior to the "past nation conflict era", their technology was not necessarily a continuation of former century MS. In conjunction, as Ezelcant had a part of the EXA DB, the Vagan MS performance was not limited to matching those of former century MS.

[SonicSP]

Wait, would that mean that the Dorado already existed in Gen 1's time already? Would that also mean that Baqto wasn't developed to counter the DODS specifically.

My AGE is a bit rusty since I'm refocusing my brain info efforts on 00 recently, but these are the questions that pop up.
