Heavy Object - Mecha, Weapons, and Technology
As the title suggests, the purpose of this thread is to discuss Heavy Object Mecha, Weapons, and Technology
Please keep discussion about plot and storylines in the relevant Episode Discussion threads, not here. It's also a good idea that this thread discuss things that have shown up in the anime, manga or light novel - discussion of things that have only been announced should stay in the appropriate thread. Note that because of the nature of this thread, there may be spoilers for non-anime Heavy Object works. Please keep such spoilers to a minimum, and use well-titled spoiler tags whenever possible. [spoiler=title]Don't forget to use a title to let everyone know what you're spoiling![/spoiler] Spoiler for title:
Be polite to your fellow forum members and try and keep the discussion on topic and above all, enjoy. |

I wanted to do this sooner, but I've been swamped the whole day with lessons and report.
Consider this as an archive of sort. In addition to Objects, there are also a number of fancy high tech gadgets that appears. EDIT:

However, if you're not running it for two years, the gigawatt worth of fuel will outweigh the start-up activation energy. Also, the gigawatt worth of heat that will eventually be produced will be a dead giveaway to any functional infrared satellite system. Also, the point was about the quality of the design, not the final product. The invaders are using objects half a century more advanced; it's like comparing an Abrams to a Tiger. |

ever wondering if the Tri-Core was piloted by three pilots for each of its core modules? considering to me it looks like three smaller objects glued together in terms of design, because of it, its also one of the objects having a crew on board to operate the thing much like a ship.

On of the perks of one pilot per object instead of multiple is the speed of decision making and reacting. One person can decide and act quicker than three relying info between each other.

The cost of one-man control is that you need a literally superhuman pilot, but at least making them a clinical sociopath is a tiny marginal cost. |

This is actually something I LOVE about Iron Blood Orphans; it's a coherent story (except for needing space-guides...) with a lot of realistic 'fiddly bits' thrown in; high-cost of suits being an issue, neural interface, the dangers of having a neural interface installed in a garage on a budget...

Therefore, a launch mass driver would be much closer to horizontal, both because a longer weapon, er, system allows a higher muzzle velocity, and because a long acceleration distance allows a lower acceleration per second, making it easier for a fragile warhead cargo to survive launch. It should be noted that it would require an absurdly long railgun to make the launch survivable for humans; the advantage is that it can loft bulk cargo in greater volume and at lower cost than anything accept an actual space elevator (not to be confused with a laser launch 'elevator': the two are completely different). |

Most likely what it actually means, but the 'JP-level' seems to suggest something a bit more physical in the design; I'd guess 'Joint Primary', refering to plasma being drawn from the fusion coure and fed into multiple MHD generators, but that's just a WAG.
