The other were the first few with the initial dogfights before they became recycled trash.
And of course, the fighting STILL SUCKS at this point. It's like watching online game fights. Doesn't matter if I see Matrix Kung Fu or what not if I can't appreciate HOW difficult or HOW coordinated or HOW skillful you pilots are. Oh and they still just plug in RANDOM CANNON FODDERS with their UGLY FACES in just to be killed off.

M25's Diamond squadron seems to be competent enough.

There's no need to reference Gundam Seed. Refer to Macross 7 Ep27 21:21. SoundForce(i.e. Mylene and Basara) was able to put setup a "space time" based force field, thus protecting Battle 7.
1. In Macross 7 EP27, it shows a device that converts an unknown power(2) to energy that affects light and space time (in Star Trek's technobabble i.e. subspace fields/domains).
2. Refer to Macross Zero, Sara Nome's power (e.g. promote regeneration, manipulate gravity, forming a bubble shield) and its origins i.e. Protoculture (ancient interstellar empire).
Macross Frontier is just continuation of Macross 7/Zero's i.e. Protoculture's organic/living based mecha/monsters.
