Well it has 6 elevated triple turrets of unknown calibre a heavy AA battery and an unknown fighter complement but indeed understaffed even with the mechanized men onboard.
I did not read anywhere but does it stated anywhere what is the calibre of Harlock's Death Shadow's and Arcadia's weaponry? |

Not been able to find details about Harlock's guns in terms of their size. The Arcadia was suppose to be 400 meters long, so you might be able to figure them out from just how big they are verses Yamato or Andromeda.

I am hoping for an announcement and/or a teaser sometime next month. It might be too early since they were hoping for a Fall launch next year rather that the Spring launch of Yamato 2199 in 2012, where we got a teaser five months before the first episode aired, but an announcement of sorts in July of 2011.
Of course they could wait to pull something around the release of the concerts on BD. That would be around when Yamato would have gotten home in December.

I've found a series of books which include detailed drawings of the Space Battleship Yamato universe including Gamillas, EDF Comet Empire etc!

The site I've linked includes some preview pages which shows technical drawings of warships.
They are fan magazines according to my friend, but also sold out Though I think I know the person who made them: http://www.pixiv.net/member.php?id=1122982 Maybe somebody (or me?) should ask if he will print more? But I'm not sure I can order them as ordering something from Japan to Hungary is very expensive! |

So some additional thoughts on the Gatlanteans: watching their warp-out, it strikes me as very "messy". As it is similar to the Warp Gates' exit, I have a feeling they simply jury-rigged Aquarius warp tech to their ships. Compare this to the Gamilas warp, which is clean and efficient, speaking of a refined technology. The Yamato's warp is a bit more elaborate, but it's still much cleaner than the Gatlantean warp, which creates a ring that spits out a plume made out of a cloud-like substance, then bursting and revealing the ship which still has to use it vernier thrusters to stabilize itself. In addition, once the cloud bursts, the ring seems to suck back in the majority of the cloud.
It's clearly crude and messy, and really fits the Gatlantean "hat" of technology barbarians slap-dashing any tech they find. |

I wonder if their warp style is linked through the old warp gate system, or if Gatlantis itself is a mobile hub of sorts.
If they use the same dimensional plain as the old gates, than any Gatlantean ship could encounter Dessler's ship floating around in there. Gamilas warp systems seem more efficient, even with the spin out. They don't have issues with preparedness for combat, with Yamato's warp seems to knock the crew out a bit. Also Yamato doesn't spin out like the others, yet is covered with ice at the end. Maybe Earth's drives need to do a spin out to prevent those issues. Or maybe it is just that the Earth warp system needs refinement, but is superior to the Gamilas system. One would think Iscandarian technology would be superior to Gamilas technology. But we cannot be certain of that. Only that Iscandar had wave motion guns a long time ago using the mentions the Earth figured out form their design specs.

Indeed, we did not seen the Iscandarian Interplanetary shuttle doing a warp jump. Speaking of which I wonder how much warp jumps does Sasha needed to get to the Sol system? (And what Gamillan warship would shoot at her shuttle?) Or maybe it was an accident occurred on the outskirts of the solar system probably a rouge asteroid from the Oord cloud?

My other question is, does the Gamillans have a Cosmo cleaner device? Or something similar? I'm curious because they bombarded Earth which became a radioactive wasteland planet thus not suitable for Human life.
Maybe after either Earth surrender or the humans became extinct they would Gammilasfrom the planet back to it's original green-blue state? They do transported an entire continent with a working biosphere of plants and maybe animals to the upper layers of Jupiter! Or the other case (which I'm reluctant to accept) that Gamillans are much more resistant to radioactivity than humans. Last edited by TZoli; 2015-11-03 at 11:39. |

Watching Space Battleship Yamato 2 for the first time (apparently I only watched the movie...)
I like how they changed Sabera from a Human to more like a Gatlantean woman. In the original anime she was very different from the Gatlanteans (not that we saw any other female Gatlantean persons...) She has more greenish skin texture compared to the yellowish of the original. |

I ran a test battle for the Star Blazers Fleet Battle System yesterday with five players using modified Earth Defense Force ships from Yamato 2. The modification was the addition of Wave Motion Shielding as seen in Yamato 2199 and the ability to fire Fusion Shells like Yamato in 2199.
I ran them against a fleet of Gatlantean warships based on their Ark of the Stars appearance, including three Medaruusa class battleships. The Earth fleet lost one battleships out of five....with some ships heavily damaged. At the end of the game, there were six ships from Gatlantis still on the table...out of 27. Two Medaruusa class were still there an each about 40% damaged. They had two cruisers and two destroyers still with them. They were also completely surrounded by the remaining 29 Earth warships. I intend to make a battle report later, but the quick breakdown of forces was this: Earth Defense Forces: 5 standard battleships (Borodino class) 5 battlecruiser (Hood class) 5 patrol cruisers (Konigsberg class) 15 frigates (Airone class) Gatlantean Fleet 3 Assault battleships (Medaruusa class) 3 battle cruisers (Relentless class) - a projected type based on Yamato 2199 plus crude shielding. 3 cruisers (Lascaux class) 18 destroyers (Kukulkan class) Note that the experienced players fully expected the Earth fleet to lose based on going against that many Yamato 2199 based Medaruusas, yet that won quite handily. The shields made all the difference.

Try running the scenario again with either nerfed or no shields for the EDF. |

I would imagine my players opinion that the Earth fleet would have lost would be the result of no shielding. The quantum torpedoes do provide some rather heavy firepower that cannot be countered easily without shields. Fortunately they have restricted fire arcs for those torpedoes.
With the number of quantum torpedoes fired and the hits against the shields early on I imagine a lot more Earth ships lost early in the battle, though the two wave motion gun shots would still have destroyed one of the Medaruusa class, a battlecruiser, cruiser and three destroyers. Certainly more of the Earth frigates would have been destroyed as their shielding is what kept them alive. (A single quantum torpedo will destroy an unshielded Earth frigate at any range.) As I have them currently, the shields provide roughly 50% more hull equivalent to the battleships, about 60% more to the cruisers, and almost three times the hull for the frigates (they are really small ships but have strong enough shielding to survive maybe two or three heavy cannon blasts at close range before the shields fall. The fourth shot will vaporize them. (All that still makes them about half the size of an unshielded Earth cruiser) The main trouble the Gatlanteans had was they missed a lot when it mattered. Not doing enough to break the shielding with their torpedoes to allow for a good follow up with massed gunfire. The Magnaflame gun however did break the shields on one battleship and the fleet managed to destroy that one and break the shielding of two others to cause heavy damage. But by then, too many ships had been lost to capitalize on this. Borodino hull = 110 + 50 shields) Hood hull = 50 + 30 shields Konigsberg = 47 hull + 30 shields Airone = 7 hull + 20 shields. Medaruusa hull = 240 Relentless hull = 70 + 21 shields Lascaux hull = 35 Kukulkan hull = 10

Doesn't the wave-motion core power the wave motion engine and the wave motion gun?
It stands to reason that all of the Earth ships built after 2199 would have wave motion shields as well. We see that the shields can be depleted and I would imagine the Gatlantis giant battleship (as seen i Yamato 2) would be able to knock down the shields of most escorts in the Earth fleet with little effort. Also, we see in Yamato 2 that the Earth fleet is quite capable against the Gatlantis fleet. It is only the cometine Empire's mobile base and the battlefortress that emerges from it that can take out the EDF fleet and cripple Yamato. Assuming 2199 is following a similar story path, it would stand to reason that the badly outnumbered Earth fleet of 2202 only wins against Gatlandtis' space navy because they have superior ships with shielding. Just a few thoughts based on Ithekro's tactical simulations. Thank you Ithekro for sharing, it is appreciated.
