Frontier by comparison has alot of screaming and gems like "Smell my ass". The reality is Frontier does conspiracies and piloting duels. It doesn't have fleet battles, and heck, arguably it doesn't even do real squadron based stuff, because it seems like everyone just flies off and does their own thing, leaving Alto alone to hog the spotlight.

Understandable from the point of SDF, however in Frontier the current "villain" itself is something that doesn't speak human language so its understandable why there isn't that flow to it.
However awkwardly, there have been several situations where there were "Real Squadron based stuff", such as in episode 2, episode 7 with Ozma calling out orders to assist Alto, and episode 9.
By far, alto hasn't gotten much spotlight at all in combat (He has the most screentime, but hey he's a main character so obviously). Ozma has been the glory whore from what I've seen.
