Alejandro clearly is self interested, considering his search for Veda, so he is out too. The only ones who might actually know (and follow) Aeolia's true objectives currently are the original Meisters and Liu Mei. Considering how their approach seems to be very different, one of them probably isn't following Aeolia's true path. We know that Liu Mei's main objective isn't just the end of war, so she has higher chances of being closer to Aeolia's intention than the Meisters too. |

Aeolia is still alive somehow because it would be quite retarded, on his part, to have a purpose he won't be able to see because of aging issues. |

One capable of devastation on a intermediate to strategic scale. As Celestial being have already shown. Better to be cautious and hope that the AEU or Union get hit by Celestial Beings next little suprise. Rather than flying into Virtue or Dynamis's field of fire and getting some of his new suits blownto MCsquared. For example there are nine or ten ranks of angels and we've seen Gundams named after 3 of them. Throne, Virtue, Dominion[Kyrios] Dynamis appears to be named after the Angels of Might [Thrones and Dominions collectively] and Exia after the Angels of Authority [Principalities and Powers] That leaves Angels/Malakim, Archangels, Seraphim, Cherubim, Ofanim, Powers and Principalities from the classic list and Aeons, Hosts, Chayot, Elohim, Ishim and Hasmallim from other sources. If I were going to name 7 Gundam designs after ranks of Angels I'd use St Jerome's list rather than Throne 1-3 for 3 of them. So I'm expecting more Gundams. sergei who probably doesn't know what they are called is expecting CB to pull another surprise the same way they did the last two times they were at a disadvantage. |

If some of the superpowers would start a war between themselves, there would be more locations to attack and defend than you can shake a stick at, and these few GN-X would not matter much on the large scale of things.

It's not so much what they'd do with the GN-X's. It's more what they'd do with the GN tech that could have the serious consequences. Now I know that it'd take a long time for that to become an issue. But it's something you don't want happening that results in a massive war. Greed, power and ambition is a bad combination with the right equipment which the 3 powers were given freely.

The GN opens up new technology tree but as we see the Solar Tower matters the most because even CB has to rely on the towers to transport their gundams into outer space. Since all 3 got the same tech nothing has changed between the 3 of them. |

The way I see it, there are three competing technologies for the role of main energy supplier: the Solar Ring, GN-type fusion, and fission. Until we know more about the status of energy requirement vs. supply, why fission seems to have been abandoned, and the capabilities/limitations of the GN drives, it's a bit early to speculate which would be most advantageous.

It maybe possible to use GN drives to propel into space but you would need a strong drive to do it, especially with heavy materials and the only place you can build true GN drivers are in Jupiter. |

Can the Gundams even reach 11.2 km/s? I don't remember seeing them ever move that fast so far, discounting their teleporting ability when the plot calls for them to be somewhere. |

Suggests to me at least that the Gundam's can't go that fast, and probably don't have enough power to get to space unassisted.

As for the elevators, I believe that it was stated from just about the very beginning that their purpose was for transportation - whether it'd be material up and down from space, or energy from the Solar Ring. Quote:
In atmosphere, it shouldn't be much of a surprise since the Gundams are about as aerodynamic as your average rock, and in space, a dedicated vehicle can have a higher thrust-to-mass ratio. What's unique about the Gundams is that they supposedly have no endurance limitation save for propellant since their GN drives provide a bottomless amount of energy.

About Graham refusing a gundam...
Build him a Wing Zero and call it a super-flag , because that's more or less what it is! Sergei and Soma are ownage with their GN-Xs. Let's hope they survive to season 2. Wild motherfucking bear of Russia indeed. Kinue got what was coming. She dug too deep and got whacked. Oh noes.

Moralia and the PMC come to mind. The best that mass force has done is pinning down gundams by using 200 to 1 odds. And that failed because there were 3 more units than they knew about [and another thirty in antartica]. The various factions seemed to consider that an all out action. From the evidence the forces involved there wouldn't be sufficient to pin down 10 GN-X's. If i'm right about that a GN-X squadron is a strategic weapon. For the simple reason it can defeat in short order the entire conventional [that is non GN equiped] MS forces available to one of the alliances. Leaving their alliance's MS's with no opposition. Not all strategic weapons are WMDs. And it's not like the HRL doesn't have a reason to want to make pointed military statements to the AEU. After all what is a Terrorist attack on your orbital elevator between friends. |
