I wonder if we could get the raw pdf of Ghost Fleet Saga. Since it can't be released for money any more.

devillin

The mega road trucks were a comic creation. They were never part of canon robotech. It is notable that aftermath and its spin off sdf Mordecai were non canon even in the old robotech continuity before the great cleanup hg did Not to mention that Bruce Lewis' behavior on the internet at the time was...

I seem to recall mention of a specially modified Horizon-T in the old Sentinals RPG book, but I'm not sure it would have enough payload capacity to haul the GMU. That might be a campaign thing as I recall, the Garfish in 1E Sentinels book is said to be the standard transport for the GMU. Did anyone...

Harmony Gold never had the rights to DYRL, IIRC.

However, don't they technically have the rights to Clash of the Bionoids?

Jackson on the other hand, whom is also apparently a fan, was lazy with Marines; extremely lazy. He didnt even reference his own earlier work with New Gen and Genesis Pits (which were no where near the quality of Marker's works) or bother to read the canon comics and watch LLA or tSC movies. I don'...

devillin

His existence is never referenced again, though, and the subsequent material makes it out that (like their OSM counterparts), the Sterlings only had daughters. That could mean several things though that boil down to making him not important to the story being told for some reason. I mean it wasn't ...

the zentreadi obviously have more genetic diversity overall, but i suspect that every combination of genes gets used hundreds of thousands of times. those zentreadi in the comic panel may well be all clones of the same genetic line as Breetai. Brrr... just thought of a unit made of all Miryia line ...

To me, an upgrade to the designs is like comparing a standard Master Grade Gundam to a Master Grade done by Katoki (ver. ka). It's basically the same, but some proportions are changed and additional details added. What we have here are the original designs having basically random parts added for no ...

devillin

Truth be told, they would have made more sense than putting Alpha parts on the Sentinels destroids.

devillin

A thought hit me about the Beta. Except for in New Generation, the Beta is never really seen as being piloted in any of the other media (comics and Sentinels Movie). What if the Beta did start development under the VF-7 placeholder, but due to the failures of the design, a decision was made to basic...

devillin

The Beta itself is bloated for the Alpha's need of a booster (40/56 SRMs blocked, 5 heavy guns go unused, a rarely used bombay/hardpoints, pilot station, if we got rid of all this, we could probably shrink the booster down to a "broomstick" instead of an oversized heavy duty backpack, wit...

Was it in the Comico comics or the books that it was mentioned that part of Rick's mission when he was doing patrols during the "Reconstruction Blues" time period was to search for and eradicate any FoL that he might find among the wreckage of crashed Zentraedi warships?

As the OSM has it, the Macross arrived at Pluto's orbit by fold jump on 7 February 2009, set out for Earth a week or so later, and did not reach it until the second or third week in November that same year. Rough order estimate, that's about 270 days of travel, from end to end, not counting the cou...

devillin

(looking through the books again, the ship's top speeds are substantially less that my memory indicated, but they are still substantial and best measured relative to the speed of light) remember that in space movement is based on inertia. with no air there is no drag so that once moving, stuff stay...

devillin

But...as far as the original post and questions I brought up earlier...I get physics is real and all, but can someone point out why the 3G ships are taken to be more maneuverable than RT ships? Never got an answer. because their speed write ups are using the same system as robotech fighters. and ro...

devillin

It was either that, or just give away free salvage loot. 3G ships have less range (by about 10,000x) and are far slower (Mach Speeds versus up to .20 light speed in normal space). In a battle between a Smasher and an Ikazuchi equivalent Robotech ship, the fight sequence was basically: Smasher: close...

Wasn't a Commet/Asteroid how Tommy has written the Haydonites were going to wipeout Tirol during Shadow-Rising in his script-outline? Basically Zor builds a new Matrix for the REF, but the Hadonites have sent a Massive asteroid toward Tirol, Ariel uses her Invid powers to destroy it... dies in the ...

devillin

The Inbit/Invid didn't really have a way to... they had no long-range spacecraft of any kind. (For the Inbit of MOSPEADA it was even more of a problem, since their mecha are powered externally and thus can't get too far away from the hives broadcasting their energy.) I know you like source material...

devillin

However I'm more wondering if you could use it to jump quickly from beyond 200 000 miles (safely out of reach of Star Fortress weaponry) to just outside 300 miles. This way you would still be out of range of the temporal shielding and plasma shockwaves, but would be able to utilize weapons with a 3...

devillin

What was the deal with them not using the original Robotech II: Sentinels destroid and zentraedi designs? I've seen people mention that there was some kind of falling out with the artist team that did them, but Harmony Gold owns those designs. Why couldn't they use them? If there was a problem with ...

If they had followed the existing storyline that the Pioneer mission was founding colonies along the way in their search for Tirol, between that, fighting space pirates, fighting Zentraedi remnants, and either finding or fighting Master remnants, not to mention the Invid, there should have been ple...

If we take it in context with what's officially said about the Tokugawa -class, it probably doesn't matter if his forces were from the Marines or not at the time they appeared in the show... they weren't front line troops, so they likely wouldn't have been issued the best equipment available. The T...

devillin

True, but I dont want to have to pay for it. When my steak is overcook, especially waiting an hour to get it after it was promised at 15 minutes, I usually get it for free because they want me to come back later... Publish a PDF and send in the cover of your 1st printing hard copy. Those whom send ...

devillin

Well, if there ever was a case of a book deserving of a PDF or Deluxe edition, this is the one. The thing I don't get is how could things go so wrong from Genesis Pits to this book? Genesis Pits had its minor issues, but as far as lining up with the new storyline, it seemed to fit very well. I don't...

devillin

The reason I am saying this is because I like the idea of Palladium allowing outside fans to write sourcebooks and then publishing them, versus only using in-house writers. I think it is a great way to drum up support for the company and the product line. Overall, I think that's probably a phenomen...

Nope. The worst edited book ever was Rifts: Manhunter.

devillin

I wonder if Palladium did a re-edited version, with error, grammar, and spelling corrections, would that please the fans? They don't even have to add in the three things I mentioned, or any of the other gripes that I've seen (putting in parts commonality since all of the REF mecha use the same arm a...

devillin

Yeah, I noticed that the editing on this book was especially bad, but did folks really think it was that bad? It's not like it was Manhunter bad. Also, if this book was held up for a year by Kevin doing editing work on it, what happened to the actual editing work?

devillin

Wait? Expeditionary Force Marines was not well-received by who? By Harmony Gold, Palladium, or the actual paying customers who demanded the book?

devillin

I could almost accept that except that they included everything else from the original RPG for the Invid except for the Red Enforcers and the Scorpion warship. *Everything* else has been included, except for those two things. I can accept the Starhive not being included, since it only appeared on 3 ...

devillin

So I'm drooling over the REF Marines book, and I noticed a bunch of stuff was missing for the Invid. Namely, the Red Enforcers (as seen in the Sentinels animation and the original RPG), the Scorpion Warship (from those same sources) , and the Invid Starhive/Battleship that was seen in the original c...

devillin

(why not groceries?) Because it's being suggested that PB could use stock that they have on hand (and can procure more of easily, like GHQ's works) to compensate backers who are done waiting on this project. The former is money already spent (and 30% off retail is likely more than they're getting f...

devillin

Here's a question for everyone. What if Palladium finally comes out and admits that their plans for Wave Two didn't work out the way they wanted, and that the delays mean it won't get released for a significant period of time? So to placate the backers and fanbase, they will give you five options. W...

devillin

Any regular submitter's out there willing to answer a few questions? Why not just ask Palladium? The best place to ask questions is the company your interested your writing for. My experience was not that good. I'm published 3 times. Ok, what is up with all this spam-posting across the forums under...

This is the first wargame I've ever gotten into, but I have tons of modeling and painting experience from doing Gundam models. The amount of detailing they put into these models went overboard for their size, in my opinion. While they do look cool, once assembled, they are such a pain to get them ou...

devillin

I would say that the -1As are just upgraded to -1Rs, and that any characters can use them.

devillin

I have pretty much decided to do 3 VF-1J's for my PCs, 1 VF-1S, and just make all of the rest VF-1R. As far as the underwing hardpoints go, I was just going to use missiles and MLOPs. I don't think anyone I would game with will care if the models are weapons accurate.

devillin

With my first batch of Zentraedi, I did an aluminum under coat, then did a light spray of white overtop. It kind of gives it a shiny, dirty white look. Once I have them all assembled and base-coated, I will go through and do the other colors. Since I like my colors bright, I will probably use Ultram...

Lets see 6300 Battle Cries give or take at 24 Pods is 152,200 Pods. So like I said four containers and I'm SO glad I don't have to pack a one of them! However since I'm such a bum and refuse to help out it may take a few months to get all that accomplished. Forget packing them, I'd hate to be the o...

Yet Yamato and Harlock are still revered as classics. Oh and I forgot Battle of Planets (Science Ninja Team Gatchaman) while not very good in it's initial incarnation (and even worse in it's second just plainly called G-Force), it was still a monster of the week show that had some excitement to it ...

Also note that at the time, there was a fairly popular series called "Cream lemon" in Japan. Don't google, it's VERY NSFW* because it was porn and that drawing style of very underaged people was popular. There's a lot of cross pollination between the general and adult ends of Japanese Ani...

I have every intentions of doing this for my Robotech campaign, and will make a strong suggestion to my group to try it for our Phase World campaign as well.

devillin

Wow! These are that small? I thought they were a lot bigger. I wish I still had my terrain from my Battletech days. I guess I will have to remake them.

Very nice. Quick question, what size scale are HO train models?

Is there any place where you can get a copy of the mecha unit cards?

I made THIS awhile ago but do not have the software to make it form fallible. There are some things I'd like to adjust change, but I have not gotten around to it.

My groups always divided our attacks over three phases. You can use up all of your actions in the phase, or you could hold one for a dodge or roll during that phase. That dodge lasted until your next action. If you used up all of your actions in attacks, you didn't get a dodge (unless you have autod...
