You will note that they were never officially retested, so if you pick guys with a lot of potential, you can draw in guys with say B and train them up to snuff, but sooner or later they'll probably have to be retested and their real abilities appear (unless you tell your guys to deliberately flunk tests). You can try the limiter gambit, but it is really lying in plain sight (and a complete shafting of the normal philosophy), so it is hard to imagine its acceptance without a lot of political coverage persuading all to look the other way - backstory for how they got so much coverage is required.

On snubfighters, aren't the Y-Wings and B-Wings classed as bombers?

Y-wings are classed as an old, outdated workhorse... but a bomber.
A B-wing is superior to a Y-wing in almost every aspect. Better shields, more lasers, more ion cannons, more torpedos... FASTER... (And from my experiences playing Xwing for years... a helluva lot better field of vision in the cockpit. God DAMN Y-wings felt like flying from the back of a tunnel.) Straight answer. Y-wing: Bomber B-Wing "Assault Starfighter." (Bomber) Spoiler for Fighters:

I hate to jump in just because of the Star Wars debate, but having been an EU obsessee for years, until I finally wised up from seeing the latest set of franchised books. . .

Hmm... nothing really much to say here, but the choice of image is... I dunno, weird?

Take my Saga for example, (( my only Tri-Ace-level OC at his base )). He doesn't have any supremacy, even if he's a well-rounded mid-ranger. The way his character and abilities are written is that his well-rounded skills and natural instincts honed with his foresight puts him as a fighter that never allows the opponent to get the upper hand using rounded abilities and styles to always be able push the opponents into a situation where they can never fully unleash 100% of their full arsenal.

The whole religionbabble by Yuuno, strangely reminds me of the Wicker Man. (( I know, BIG difference, but still. )) Quote:
Golden Experience Requiem was pure h4xx though. ~~~ Well, on the Yuuno thing, even if we assume one factor over the other on the Vita defensive fight, he had always held his own against Arf in S1, who was A rank as well, and performed as valuble back lines in A's. (( 5% of the reason StrikerS was mildly dissapointing. Back lines played little to no support roles in 'proper' fights whatsoever. ))

Okay, now hopefully the storm has calmed and we can return to propperly forming characters again.

I suppose I felt cheated mildly, seeing how Nanoha talked about the role of Strikers. Things like teamwork, etc, in the end of things, held little weight in the story. I'm fairly sure the 'whole Aces got saved by Forwards' in 26 was supposed to represent that, but c'mon, out of everything possible, that was the least palatable.

If their adversaries have space warships of their own, they had better be able to. More importantly, the arc's charging is a highly energetic event. That should be virtually impossible to hide. The transdimensional portal's opening should be quite visible on sensors too.

Should it? It's an entirely different form of energy, after all. Once again: Earth didn't exactly notice the Arthra blowing up a Lost Logia while in orbit either, even though we have stuff pointing skywards all the time, which would suggest 'space worthy' does not equate 'able to detect TSAB ships'

Look, you're talking about an opponent dire enough that the Bureau is willing to deploy the arc against. I should hope such an opponent can detect magic on the scale of a weapon like that. The Bureau may be able to mask their activites from a low-tech world like Earth, but against someone that can field ships they need to use the arc against?

I'm back Now cooled off and with my head on the right place
Use this time to develop a lot of new interesting ideas. Though, not involved with MSNL but still using Koji, Yui and Maren...and maybe Altea and Treize too It's another original story I'm working on (with this makes three of them) I haven't decided the name yet (like Elemental Guardian...or something alike ) Basically, it's a mix of Prism Ark, Erementar Gerad and a bit of Zero no Tsukaima Anyway...here's my lightspeed backlog breaker Spoiler for Backlog:
~~~~ Ok, now, I guess I'll be working on a remake of the last chapter, and make it acceptable. Maybe just change the whole Relic number 11/Experimental Relic Weapon mess I made... Well, off to work on it ~kamo *runs*

When charging for firing, it glows in the visible spectrum very well.

They had 4 AA, 2 A, 4 B, and 1 C. The guy needs 12, all of which apparently have to be A or above. The math doesn't work out. Even if 3 of the AAs are depowered to A (the leader presumably must be at least AA), that still is 1 AA, 8 As, 1 B and 1C. More likely, the leader is 3A and that crimps the budget even further. |
