Btw, in case anyone is interested, there's a review of FB7 with a pretty detailed description of its contents
here in Macross World.
It should answer most questions you have about it (except for the one of why Alto doesn't appear).
Gubaba also gives his thoughts on it a bit further down the page...
edit: and
another review...
My current thoughts: I might watch it, maybe...in lieu of watching Macross 7.
I shall look forward to seeing Eva:Q instead.
