He gets noticed by distributing video of it on the underground net. The kid posts his speedrun on the darknet

I hope that manga addresses how the internet would actually work. Each colony could have it's own network, but wouldn't getting information between two colonies even in the same side be pretty difficult? Do ships have big servers on them and carry information with them as they go from colony to colony?

I would assume that wouldn't work in battle situations for obvious reasons, but I could see that sort of thing letting a loose inter-colony network happen, or even just scheduled dumps to sync up some sort of extracolony servers, while most stuff is just on local colony servers. Like maybe the darknet would be malware that piggybacks on these systems somehow, and allows illegal extracolony communications for non-military personnel, while normal pubbies are expected to just access local colony networks. So it's a bitch to track down because you have to investigate EVERY colony, because future network technobabble

It would be laser comms between colonies / earth. The le grange points are stable so keeping contact should be trackable/ computable. I expect it would at worst latency wise be compatible to microwaves / radio signals, but probably better honestly. Im no math guy but i expect me this is something that could be easily computed.

Do Minovsky particles interfere with lasers? And like Kurui Reiten brought up, those would originally be for military and government purposes, what kind of bandwidth would you need for unrestricted civilian use?

I was gonna say later gundams use fly by light for the controls but now that I think of it that's a Muv Luv thing. But laser comms gotta be a thing, minovsky I don't think bends light.

I thought it was directly stated that MPs messed with light in one way or another over long distances? I remember that there was supposed to be some sort of shimmering thing with light that messed up targeting systems and the like.

They shoot laser blasts at piloted Balls near other colonies. One exploded Ball for 0, two for 1.

it'd probably work through laser comms but with cross colony stuff getting shut down whenever there's a fight cos of too much Minovsky interference. Goddang Zeons if I get bid sniped on this Limited Edition Haro from Londenion I swear I'm gonna steal a Gundam.

Nice refreshing change of pace to have a pilot that is (sorta) trained before getting in the cockpit of his own Gundam.

So Twilight Axis episodes 2 and 3 are much better than whatever the gently caress that first episode was trying to do. They go back to a normal linear storytelling technique, with only a single flashback so far. This was definitely made on a budget though. It's got Thunderbolt quality artwork, but the animation is pretty lacking. That said, the lack of dialogue in most scenes lends itself better to visual storytelling, and I wasn't lost in what was happening at any given time.

A lot of recent leads have had prior training : Bellri, Setsuna & Shinn as well as Mika. Even going back further there's Heero, Domon, Uso and Kamille. The OVAs add Shiro and Kou as well. There's a couple of possible cases too, like Garrod probably is self taught and at least adequate at X's start, but not great while Loran may have had some basic training to pilot FLATs. Asemu and Kio were also given training before piloting, though whether you want to count them as leads is debatable. It's been a thing since nearly the beginning, and seems to be happening a little more often of late, if anything. tsob fucked around with this message at 08:28 on Jul 30, 2017 |

It's a good change as the years go by because it just makes Amuro more and more terrifying. Dude read a manual and then became one of, if not the best pilot in the universe in a year.

I'm pretty sure Tomino wanted to make Amuro an enlisted character in 0079 and didn't simply because it'd make him unrelatable or sponsors pushed him to make the change. He's enlisted from the beginning in the novels if I recall. It's mostly characters meant to ape Amuro in some fashion that have no prior training too, like Seabook, Kira or Flit. Though the similarity often ends up simply as "first pilot in a new story" like Seabook was supposed to be.

I'd be fine with them just having the ost's from various shows, since Gundam has some of the best ost's of any anime franchise. I find the jpop to be distracting when I play.
