but macross quarter is only 1/4th the size of Battle 7 so unless the blast is 1/4th less powerful....

I believe most do have PPB systems but they don't cover the entire ship. They're likely several smaller ones used to absorb types of damage. Been awhile since I've seen the original Macross, but that's how they implemented it on the Megaroad 1 at the time. one can assume they implement it the same way on the flagships for the fleets.

Well, thats the way Pin-Point Barrier systems have always been, small moveable energy shields that can defend against enemy attacks (and even concentrated together to either partially or fully block a SDF-1 Main gun style attack, although such an action will likely overload the barrier system).

I was under the impression that in Ep 3, the reason Mikhail sniped the Red manually was because Luca was unable to get a good lock that wouldn't kill Ozma, the IFF systems on the Skull valks preventing them from shooting at each other - which is quite reasonable and in fact a move I support; blue on blue incidents have happened before, and I think whoever's making the VF-25 added this in as a selling point: "Don't worry! With the VF-25, you won't have to worry about team kills!"

...or they could just have run out of those mines during the initial sortie - the smaller bugs might not have the haxxed missile generation systems of the reds. Anyway further thoughts on the ep: WTF Brera's plane is fast. And pulls some very high-g turns. Sorta superficially reminds me of the VF-21/VF-22 for some reason, sorta like how at certain angles the VF-25's nose reminds me of the YF/VF-19. The interior of the mothership is... interesting, to say the least. One thing I'm curious about is the lag; someone on Frontier's bridge says that the lag is "Plus 40", so is that 40 minutes or seconds? If seconds, than it's not really much of an issue all in all; Grace did say that the images appear to be real time. On the other hand, if the lag is 40 minutes... the images will still appear to be in real time, sorta, and Grace might be mistaken. The lag would be two ways, so following the 40 minute lag theory, Sheryl's singing would have reached Alto 40 minutes after she sang, which would give some fudge time for the concert and all. Spoiler:
Macross Quarter in Battroid mode pushing open the "mouth" of the mothership to rescue Luca and Alto was pretty cool, although when Bobby did that I was both going "Cool!" and "Oh shit he's gonna tear a huge gouge in the flight deck -_-" Though Sheryl's red dress was awesome. About as awesome as seeing twin gatling destroids putting up a barrage of fire - and doing better at it than the destroids on the Asuka II. Then again, there's more of them here Hmmm. We haven't seen any Battroid mode grunt VF-25s, so I'm not sure if Mikhail's head is the standard head; he's got 1 head gun and a single monoeye sensor that was on the VF-1A, but then again he's a sniper unit. Probably a modded grunt head. About the only differences I can see that the long-range pack gives are a grappling anchor to lock position for stability and the sniper gunpod. Interestingly his shots this time are blue, while the shots he was firing in and around Frontier were yellow. Hi-power mode seems to be pretty darned powerful: 3 shots and the red vajra dies. The gun turret's on Ozma's Armored Pack aren't for show either; I see them blazing away, and it seems they might be single-barrel autocannons instead of beam guns. Now that I think about it, it appears that kinetic weapons have a higher rate of fire than energy weapons, which may be the only reason why Valks are still using solid slug Gatlings 51 years in the future.

talk about detail! yeah, i was also wondering about the flight deck, I mean he could of put it away and then use the oversize mechanized hand to pry open the clam. but oh well. I too would love to see some destriods animated in motion! even if it's like in the background walking back to hangers for maintenance or something. They need more love. Seriously. this episode gets better every time you re-watch it. so much detail. It just set the standard again for Mecha space opera! go macross!

So just for kicks I actually tried to do a summary of Macross Frontier Episode 07 in Newspeak. The thoughts are still in normal english so don't worry. By god I had fun with this episode, it's almost entirely a straight up action piece and music video but man did they execute perfectly. For that it's pretty much a perfect 10.
Is relieved beyond what anyone can possibly imagine that he's all caught up on his tasks for this week. |

As I was rewatching ep 7, before watching ep 8, one of the cool details I noticed was during Alto's fight inside the Vajra.
There's one scene where Alto's VF switches the gun to its right hand after taking a hit to the left arm. You can see the VF rest the gun on the ground while it switches it over to the right hand and for the rest of the fight the VF fights with a dead limb. That's a pretty cool detail that lasts probably 1 sec on screen. |
