RillAkBea posted:It works out if you imagine him as having been the project lead on Wing Zero and constantly having to defend his project from the others trying to add bat wings and flamethrower dragon heads, or suggestions to fill every orifice with micro missiles. He finally gets to make a Gundam by himself, hell yeah he's gonna make a super sweet Wing Gundam that doesn't melt peoples brains. i now believe this to be factual

I want a version of the HeavyArms Gundam that's just "Oops, All Missiles". Once it's fired off every micro-missile and bullet, all that should be remaining is panels and the inner skeleton.

There was a planned mod to the GP02 to give it six missile launchers in place of the warhead carrier

Onmi posted:Isn't that the Prometheus from Frozen Teardrop? And as a bonus the Prometheus will never run out of ammo because NANOMACHINES SON! No seriously, if the scuttlebutt is accurate there's an onboard Nanomachine plant that continuously generates more missiles so the Prometheus can fire all the missiles forever.

I like to imagine that in a particularly hard battle the entire frame would start diminishing so Trowa could fire more missiles and/or bullets, using the frame as material to do so. And then, he ends up self-destructing by launching the cockpit inside one last missile right in to the enemy.

I want a wing side story that details how in the world did Trowa keep finding extra ammo and missles for his gundam when he was travelling around with that circus. ... Actually how the hell did the wing boys, other than Trowa, who has his entourage, manage to get supplies/fuel for their gundams?! Monaghan fucked around with this message at 19:07 on Dec 11, 2019 |

We’re shown that they’re willing to steal from each other, at least. Which makes sense, because who else is going to have Gundam parts?

Wufei pays for a bunch of weapons at one point and Duo's got Howard and his ship for the first part, then Quatre and Quatre's mercenary core for the second. Heero straight up steals what he needs and pays for somethings in GoL.

Heero is also probably stealing a bunch of cash too via his computer. It's how he paid for multiple schools IIRC.

Assuming in Gundam Wing Land you don’t have much wear and tear on parts and the reactors never need fuel, Trowa is really the only pilot who has meaningful sustained costs. Everyone else is primarily beam and melee focused outside of the Vulcans and flamethrower fuel.

i want to know why wufei's gundam's extendo-arms was a tech that wasn't utilized in the epyon or the zero gundam. i don't know if there's any fluff justifying how the hell the extendo-arm worked and i'm not sure i want to know, but if you have the tech why aren't you putting it on god drat everything, seems pretty all around useful

Extendo-arms are more delicate and complex than regular arms.

I mean the real injustice of Wing is that that gently caress Wufei gets one of the coolest Gundams and Epyon reminds my brother of a mechanical dominatrix.

Warmachine posted:you say that like its a bad thing Oh for me it's great, my brother just likes to make good natured fun of me for liking Epyon (and Gundam in general since it's not for ladied for some reason in his mind). If Epyon is truly the manifestation of Treize's ID there are a lot of questions it both raises and answers.

I always assumed Trowa got his ammo from battlefield salvage. I have to look and see if his guns use the same type of bullets as the Leo and other OZ suits do. Maybe that's how he gets some of his missiles as well, salvage from destroyed Aries suits.

I'm not entirely sure of the feasibility of Trowa trawling around a battlefield in a truck trying to fish unexploded ordinance out of the mangled and scattered ruins of an army of mobile suits he just exploded with missiles and vulcans.

Warmachine posted:Yeah, weren't solar furnaces basically infinite magic particle sources or something? The Stargazer might have a novel laser beam light sail thing, but any 00 with a furnace basically has infinite delta V. The out of series data describes them as semi-perpetual energy machines. Given what we know from the series, there has been some delving into the theoretical sci-fi behind them, and the best guess is that they work off of catalyzing proton decay by way of magnetic monopoles. When they decay they create gamma photons which are fairly high energy and can be captured by high efficiency solar panels inside the reactor. Hence why it would be called a solar furnace. The actual fuel for the reactor is molecular hydrogen, which is basically everywhere, which is why it can run more or less infinitely. It is fairly nonsense given what we know of actual physics, but like most well written sci-fi it holds just close enough to reality that it sounds good unless you do a deep dive into why it wouldn't work. Edit: Found the Link that talks about this. Fun reading on the theoreticals behind it.
