The idea that you could have one airframe that could do everything...with stealth and being cheap. A good chunk of planes are designed with a specific purpose in mind, and then modified into being more multipurpose machines (F/A-18, F-16 for example). F-35 meanwhile tries to do this backwards - first get a "design-that-fits-all" and then make several specific variants, while trying to keep costs down.
I'd say that it's a moronic idea beyond belief, but hey, these planes do fly, and at least for the time being, their oxygen systems work. <His country didn't give shit and money, so they just bought the F-16s instead. It is a bit strange though that America just rammed straight into these problems, given that F-35 is not the first joint-service craft; there was a F-111, which was basically F-35 without stealth. It didn't end well. As it was pointed out however, TSFs are not exactly fighters, so some problems the real F-35 is facing are easier to side-step (at least, purely theoretically).

New PV for the XBOX 360/PS3 Total Eclipse game. I wonder if it'll gain enough popularity for a PC port someday.

So this upcoming Total Eclipse game is going to be a full-length visual novel? As in it doesn't stop partway through like the anime and actually has an ending and conclusion (at least for the characters and series plot if not the Beta menace itself), because I hear the novels are on hiatus or something.

Just wondering, is there any chance of further stories in the Alternative verse appearing? The side stories are great, but in the end, it's the struggles of Takeru and his compatriots which has truly captured my heart in the ML verse. I do know Alternative's ending doesn't.. really.. lend itself to further storytelling but..

If there are any stories, it'll be Alternative Chronicles and sidestories. The end of Alternative makes any continuation kinda difficult, especially since only 3 Valkyries remained and if TSFiA is any indication, A-01 was disbanded.

They are reformed? I haven't read those reports yet. I only knew that they are scattered in different mission though misae and munakata (I think) are from the same group and are helping in infiltrating hives. I even remember they are using lightning II? or something new tsf but not sure but I'm sure when a certain isumi sister is in trouble they are ready to help her. Not sure if its munakata but I think she is the one who joked that their captain would probably won't forgive them if they let her sister die.
So they are reformed. in a chronicles preview. I only saw misae and munakata with akane which has eye patch join together but not sure if it means that the valkyries are ready to fly again. and there is the platinum code.

Whoa, whoa, whoa there.
I read those TSFiA files, this is not the case. Valkyries, as in A-01 was disbanded. It's three survivors were inducted into the Fuji Instructional Crops, Urd and Skuld Squadrons. In April 2003 they take part in assault on Cheorwon Hive, where they test out the F-15SEJ Gekkou and the Type-02 Shiranui Second. During the assault, Touko and Munkata run into an F-15J squadron pinned down by BETA down in the Hive; one of the pilots is Isumi's younger sisters. Said unit's callsign is "Lightning". At the same time, Akane's outside, blasting the BETA with her Second's Mk. 57 cannon. Read it at Muv-Luv wiki. And Akira did not join the Fuji Unit
