I want to speak in defence of the guntank for a moment. Imagine you are building a spacecraft for military purposes. There are guns and turrets on every facing, yes? But the White Base is not designed to look like a warship or spend all of its time in space. So it has this big featureless bottom that is constantly being threatened. Put one or more guntanks on there and the problem is solved.

If anything threatens the White Base's underside just have Kai throw a rock at it.

I will say, in defense on the Guntank, that when you're playing Gihren's greed, the sheer pleasure you will experience from finally teching up to Mobile Suits and deploying a even a single Guntank, watching its powerful cannons shred through the Zeek Scum sending them scurrying... it's truly unprecedented... Until you get the Guncannon.

Ok, confession time. I've been dragging my feet a little releasing this LP. I had originally planned to build a model kit as I played, and release work-in-progress pictures. It was probably going to be a Hi-Mock, or a GM Sniper II (I love the GM Sniper II), or maybe something out of left field like the Turn X or the Heavyarms or the Efreet. Then, when I was finished, at the last minute I was going to show the "finished model kit"--and reveal none other than Bandai's Darth Vader. But I was browsing Amazon while making my final decision, and I stumbled upon the perfect model kit to build for the LP. Unfortunately, I'd have to have it shipped which can take 2-6 weeks depending on customs. That model kit has just arrived, and it is none other than... Dah-dah-dah-daaaah! Other Peoples' Houses!

I love that because of G-Gundam there's an answer to that question. G-Gundam is the series that keeps on giving. Hell, the entire Gundam franchise is magical like that.

Let's Play Mobile Suit Gundam Side Story 0079 Rise from the Ashes Mobile Suit of the Of all the rear end in a top hat Zeon mobile suits, the Dom is by far the coolest. It's a Mobile Suit with effectively Giant Robot Roller Skates. The Dom's too cool to walk anywhere, if it really wanted to a Dom could T-Pose across the modern 0079 battlefield like an honest to god engine glitch, blinding people with the giant flashlight it has built into its chest before committing some warcrimes with its cluster grenades. I kinda lost track of this what with restarting the BattleTech thread and everything. Sorry about that!

In just a few short years, due to the endless space wars, EFF records have been so hosed up that if you and some buddies call in and go "Uh, we're with the EFF on long range patrol. Give us more guns, ammunition, and repairs. We might not be in the books", it will actually work.

The crazy bit is that the Earth Federal Forces would be 100% correct in sending supplies to that unit, because by that point 99% of all Zeon remnants are incapable of making it through two entire sentences without squeezing in a "Feddie scum" or a "Zeig Zeon." The Feddies can be reasonably certain that they're either sending supplies to an actual EFF unit, or to a band of plucky magic teenagers hell bent on defeating some new atrocity.

Subtlety is not Zeon's strong point, is it? Then again, this is the faction who, in response to their Special Ops team failing to destroy a new Gundam, decided that the most appropriate course of action would be to grab a nuke and try to blow up an entire colony Just To Be Sure. And they couldn't even do that right, since they blundered into the Federation forces on the way to said colony and got caught.

Rorahusky posted:Subtlety is not Zeon's strong point, is it? The thing about Zeon after the one year war is that it kind of drifted to three factions. Most of them, being normal more-or-less sane people, went to the Republic of Zeon. It was still their country, the remaining government declared surrender, so go home and be a family man. It pretty much worked out for them, at least as much as it can in the Universal Century. Some of them were big into SPACENOIDS and FREEDOM and such, so they wound up in the AEUG and Karaba when the Titans arrived. Most died, some joined up with Char because he's charismatic as hell and lead the AEUG for a bit and some joined up with Londo Bell, because Bright was in charge and Bright was the other main AEUG leader. Less charisma, but also less crazy. And then you have the crazies. If a movement is called (X) Zeon, that's them. Basically, their goal in life is to get a bunch of Mobile Suits and commit some war crimes. They haven't really thought things through beyond that.

Let's Play Mobile Suit Gundam Side Story 0079 Rise from the Ashes Mobile Suit of the Chop Chop Helicopter Onion is one of the single most dangerous mobile suits of the One Year War and totally wasn't beaten in a single episode of the TV series never to appear again. TheLastRoboky's Bane Model Update: The interior of the Space Colony I'm secretly going to mail to Roboky when this is all done (kidding I don't know his address) was completely unmodeled, as were the solar panels. The manufacturer did include some stickers to put on the inside of the colony to make it look a little less lovely but, uh. gently caress that. I have Green Stuff! I know how to paint! And I own flock! The solar panels I fixed with zip ties and metallic paint. Zip ties are nice because the stick to modeling glue just fine and with a shiny metallic coat of paint they catch the light at odd angles which makes them look like hundreds of tiny mirrors. Stickers suck!

I'd like to say again that Prime Minister Darcia Bakharov and Vice Prime Minister Oleg are actually pretty sane. There's a scene in The Plot to Assassinate Gihren where they talk about how loving crazy good Gihren is at manipulating people, and that, gently caress it, this batshit insanity isn't what they signed on for. Darcia basically says "Degwin's in secret surrender talks, and THANK gently caress FOR THAT. And yeah, I know that could get me killed for treason, but be a bro about it, huh?" Post One Year War, Zeon had a pretty drastic split between Bakharov's Republic of Zeon (the more-or-less sane majority, who were willing to go as far as to reintegrate with the Federation on "Seriously, the Zabis were the worst" grounds) and the various Neo Zeons, who went more and more batshit as time went on.
