Whoa-k, i never would have guessed that

IMO sounds like a name a 2 year old would make up.

Or someone Japanese.

It'd be much simpler just to add a (J) or something at the end of the model number to indicate it's capable of space folding, but noo...

Its Japanese translated to English so it's actually one of the better translations

There are times when good translation is not a good thing. This and J-Pop are good examples.

I know but it's better than Go! Go! Go! Electric Monkey Boy Adventure or some of the other ones you hear


Anyway, dragging the topic back on course. What is that giant gun thing with engines for? (The last two pictures).

Not to sound like an elitist or anything...

The bastard child of an Orion, the SDF-1, and the carrier ship shown in the Quake II manual.

It depends.  It's bad practice, and if faces are close anywhere you'll get some flickering as the z-buffer has trouble deciding what to render on top.  I know you can save polys that way, but I'm not sure you want to depend on it working properly on the main hull object.

I wanted to bring some Vas esthetics to a tryed and true Terren design.  Also I think that if they intend to fend off many more invasions they need to work out there stregnths and design true warships that use the best of both races.

do not taunt the SDF-1.

[Scuddie]

I would sooner call it the lovechild of an Orion and Aeolus than anything else.

I think a capital ship that turns into a mech is one of the worst ideas for a ship ever.

[Cobra]

don't let getter robo g hear you say that.

It doesn't turn into a mech - it merly has to reconfigure its modules to bridge a gap where the known missing warp drive used to be.
...which is a corny excuse to make it look humanoid.

Never the less it never does any mechish moves beside the transformation, so I thing it is forgivable.

Beside the SDF1 is the most advanced piece of technology in Macross so it actually makes sense to make it somewhat unconventional.

...Daedlaus Manuver. (spelling?)

[Cobra]

spelling, yes. it's Daedalus Maneuver
