It's like they welded extra pieces to the XV design. They really need to put more effort into new ship designs.

Keroko · 2009-10-02, 11:37

Minus one or two minor attachments, looks pretty much the same, just lower quality on part of the anime.

NorthernFallout · 2009-10-02, 11:39

Seems like they went for "Don't fix what's not broken." Not that I would mind more exotic and radical designs. Could also be this new ship is just a small modification, having a similar purpose as the others so it doesn't need much new.

From my POV, it's more like the Volfram is a smaller version of the XV but with more detail. Also the Volfram seems more... triangular in profile than the XV's.

There's also the fact that from an economics standpoint (both IRL and in fiction), having ships (or vehicles) be not too dissimilar in appearance is more cost-effective at times - like all the variants of the M113 in service that fulfilled roles from anti-arcraft to mine-clearing to even a mobile mortar.

What is Hayate's rank in Force ?

Given the German linguistic influences we've already seen, I'd transliterate it as Wolfram.

... For some strange reason I can't stop laughing myself silly.

Because the name reminds me of Lord Wolfram von Bielefelt, from Kyou Kara Maou. Despite the fact there's absolutely no connection to each other.

Possibly, but I think what was asked was is she a General, Admiral, what?

prescience · 2009-10-02, 16:08

It does seem unlikely that the rank inflation can continue indefinitely, so I wouldn't expect her mage rank to have increased much, if at all. But what I think Jabawock was asking is what her military rank is. IIRC she is now the Navy's head of investigations, or somesuch. Probably substantially higher than Lt. Colonel, then. Admiral Yagami, anyone?

Damn, the ninjas have it in for me... >_>

The mental image you just gave me just made my day. Thank you Nagumo *giggles uncontrollably*

Personal Hayate ship, yesssss... lol

Jabawock · 2009-10-02, 18:57

Sorry for unclear question. What i ask is about her military rank.

Nvis · 2009-10-02, 19:00

Isn't Crono's mom the new Admiral(top dog) or that other woman(can't remember) that talks to her or something after Striker S?
Obviously she or Crono would want to give Hayate her own ship.

itanshi1 · 2009-10-02, 21:31

Letti Lowran, mother of Griffith Lowran

Anyways, yeah ranks are hard to figure out, x-x maybe she is an admiral in the ground forces?

MeisterBabylon · 2009-10-03, 02:01

Ain't got much time, so I'll just let fly that the XV class bothers me quite a bit. And Keroko... maybe.

Because in another dark future, XVs are little mecha piloted by little blue aliens prancing around the battlefield bristling with weaponry.

prescience · 2009-10-03, 02:02

Lindy retired from working in the field to take a desk job (or something to that effect). IIRC her rank in StrikerS is "Director". Presumably Leti is similarly-ranked, though I can't remember if she even shows up at all in the anime.

@itanshi: How would that work? I'm pretty sure Admiral is Navy-only rank...

Vivio Testarossa · 2009-10-03, 02:06

I looked at the new design for Hayate, and have to say that I don't like it. Hayate just doesn't look right unless she has short hair. I also do not like the concept of Force having a male protagonist.

itanshi1 · 2009-10-03, 02:08

Look, I may be on your side generally, presumably, but with this, I am not. It needs more males because it is stupidly flooded with estrogen!

Can you imagine the expenses for that many females. How does the TSAB ever stay in business?

MeisterBabylon · 2009-10-03, 02:15

Nonono... You see, due to the population imbalance, every male has a harem. It's equality for all! >=3
