As for the FAST packs, I know the VF-25 was designed to be modular in order to take advantage of multiple roles (though we most commonly see it with the Super Pack standard), but the VF-27 and YF-29 actually incorporated the wing mounted auxiliary engines in the basic design (and god knows how much the VF-27's base specs surpass the VF-25's even with the Super Pack). I think that the wing mounted engines on the VF-4 were the main engines though. So I'm wondering if we'll see a whole bunch of variable fighters with four engines, base. (The YF-29 an VF-27 had what? SIX engines with their Super Packs?) On topic: Did you hear about Macross Two-Nine? Or am I just hallucinating it? |

All right, now that Kawamori's done with AKB0048, it's time for him to get down to business right with the old-time religion.

Heck, for capital ships, it is also possible to shape and hollow out an asteroid and turn it into a working warship. As the Zentraedi had been around for eons, it's not surprising that they're capable of producing stupendous quantities of war machines than any other life form, knowing that hostile danger is always out there in the vastness of space.

You got me.

But oddly enough I've heard people saying its the name of a new television series...and I know you shouldn't trust wikipedia but sure enough, it lists it as the next series. They don't have a citation though and I'm currently internet spelunking to find out just where this information came from. If we know (from the musical's background), that Macross 29 isn't going through a particularly violent revolution or anything, then why would the next series be there? And why would they get a bakery-fresh shipment of VF-3Xs blueprints for them to fabricate from Shinsei Industries (that one lucky boy or girl will inevitably end up flying) when there isn't any major conflict going on? |

According to the website, the economy for 29 is terrible. Unemployment is high, and a new Zentradi insurgency is taking place. As for VF-3x being handed out... I thought that was something we randomly came up with. I don't see it in the official website. Though in regards to your question about blueprints, its actually common practice. Once a new fighter is developed, blue prints are then handed out either to all or selected colonies. For the NUNS... things travel fast... and if they can't get information by official means, Frontier already showed how designs can be acquired by covert operations... - Tak

Zentradi insurgency had been an ongoing problem for the NUNS. While humanity won the First Space War, there are still literally hundreds of thousands of Zentradi vessels out there from the First Space War not yet accounted for by the NUNS. An insurgency is always potentially dangerous because they can always attempt to make contact with the rogue element of the Zentradi fleet, which, despite a drastic decrease in numbers, is still more than capable of putting up a fight against all colonial fleets combined.
In Macross Plus, Zentradi insurgency was partially the reason why two new fighters were developed. In VFX and VFX2, the NUNS made no delay in sending their best to combat a possible Zentradi uprising with the objective of stamping out any potential expansion of the problem. Yes, the NUNS is that serious about Zentradi insurgencies. - Tak

Oh, and they're also a pacifist fleet. They have no VFs.

No, no...that would explain to the ACTUAL people of the 29 why there are no Valks...but how would you explain to the 2012 Tokyo Dome crowd that no Valk will be be appearing on stage? And do it in July, before they get their hopes up?
