Was Dawn's time travel ever properly researched? If so, could it be expanded to include interdimensional travel?
What are the Terran and Cyrvan standings on either?

Ooh, flying as a wingman under Tempest in a mercenary organization, I'd love that. If flying as a merc is what it is like in LQ, then I'd qualify as 'already have experience' mhm~


Oh, the LSF flag-thingy, I like it. There seems to be Japanese there which is pretty cool, but I can't read it :P

'Protecting Humanity's Peace' in a different font. One that has no apostrophes, apparently. It mojibake'd.

Would any of you allow Holley to fly in your wing, and why?
If you hit it and it bleeds, you can kill it. If you hit it and it doesn't bleed...You are obviously not hitting hard enough.

I'm not so sure...
Some signs do look like Kata-kana (カ - ka, エ - e), the sencond sign looks like a mirrored オ :wtf: and some are neither Kata-kana nor Hira-gana (like the third sign, that looks like an O or the big rectangle at the bottom of the red bar). So if it is any actual language and not just a combination of random signs, it's not japanese as far as I can tell. But with such a small font it's really hard to tell... and it being bold doesn't help much either.

It's just japanese characters arranged to resemble the english on the other side, I think. It's pretty obvious with the "protecting" at least.

He's right. Look at it like stylized roman alphabet letters and you see it says "Protecting Humanity's Peace".

Speaking of wings and those who fly them, what are the odds of seeing non-Terran/Cyrvan pilots on the Guardian Angel in the future?

I think a YEAAARGH every now and then would do wonders for JGASF morale.

I'm lobbying for a pilot exchange programm with the Fura'ngle.... oh wait that would be impossible, since they merge with their ships...
Then I'll go for Zy.

You know that Zy like to tear organic stuff apart? And I also think that humans taste really good.
Well they began to reverse these behaviors, but there are still a lot of lizards who like to do it that way.

I'd rather listen to chirping than the incessant "bup-bup-bup-bupbup" of a certain only 'good for glassing' species.

I also have a question regarding tactics for Isa and Crystal.

You have been assigned to protect a planet of great tactical importance, but not given sufficient forces to do so. A larger hostile fleet then engages you and you have no option but to abandon the planet and give up an important strategic point with only a small chance of being able to retake it in the future.
My question is this; would you enact a "scorched earth" policy and burn the planet to deny it's resources to the enemy while damning countless lives but ensuring victory in the future, or would you leave and hope the battle to retake it goes well?

And just for the scenario, the planet contains an equal ratio of cryvans to humans and has resources highly valued by both forces.....It also has the galaxies highest population of the cutest kittens ever to exist. EVER.

What would you do, why, and how would you feel about it?



If you hit it and it bleeds, you can kill it. If you hit it and it doesn't bleed...You are obviously not hitting hard enough.

I'm pretty sure the Cyrvan fleet doctrine (not commenting on individual ships themselves...) is almost made specifically to fight off fleets larger than their own, so that invading fleet probably won't get to rest with CSA ships jumping in and out all over the place with their subspace maneuverability and dynamic engagements.

Yes, but there is only so much that maneuvering can do. Perhaps I wasn't clear in explaining.

The situation is hopeless. Sure they could stay and fight, but they wouldn't be able to safeguard the target while engaging the fleet, as large as it is the size would enable them to just steam past en masse and, while incurring possible heavy losses, still capture the target while dishing out the punishment to the CSA fleet.

Also remember that they have an insufficient number of ships to mount an effective deffence. The equivalent to a six-shot revolver against a city's worth of zombies. You may live until you run out of ammo, but you will die.

Oh wait I have a question to Isa and Crystal: Do usual cyrvan commanders tend to be more pessimistic or optimistic?
There's just one thing. Who IS the enemy? That's one thing I've learned from WoD: Find out who your enemy shall be and then decide.
Regardless of the hopeless stuff and such. Let's see what happens if....

the Nordera are attacking: Kick dem asses space elves!
The Zy are attacking: They're coming in masses, spamming you with lazors and tearing your soft bodies apart. How terrible could the outcome of such a battle be?
The Hertak: The planet's ****ed, isn't it?
The Fyr'Kyr attack: Party time!

A much larger hostile force could be everything, ranging from fighter/bomber-spam to the typical Sathanas er, Armageddon-fleet.
