It's a show where having the right expectations is helpful, and being able to go in saying "This is the kind of chill, pastoral Gundam." means less people wonder when it's going to be like the original or Zeta.

Yeah he does. There's a really nice scene in Steel 7 where Tobia goes to their bakery for help with the crisis but after seeing how happy they are decides to leave instead of pulling them into another conflict.

ImpAtom posted:I-Fields have the issue of having insane power consumption (which isn't a big issue for a carrier) but also that under sustained fire they can overheat quickly. Where is that actually detailed out of interest? The only units in animation with i-fields that I recall are the Big Zam, the Dendrobium and the Neue Ziel. I know Crossbone has the various Crossbone units themselves equipped with smaller i-fields too, but I don't recall any discussion of power limitations or heating issues with the i-field tech in 0079 or 0083 at the very least. chiasaur11 posted:Still odd that Loran didn't score higher. Is it? More people would need to have seen Turn A to know about Loran in order for him to score higher I'd imagine.

I'm not sure where I-Fields overheating and shutting down under heavy fire comes from, but them having limitations and problems with overheating is a definite thing that's established here and there, especially in Crossbone actually. The only Crossbones with I-Fields are the X-3 and the X-1 Full Cloth (the rest just used Anti-Beam Coated mantles and beam shields), and at least for the X-3 it's explicitly stated that its I-Fields still have problems overheating to the point it's an acknowledged vulnerability in the Suit. I don't think it's fully acknowledged well the X-1 FC's I-Field works, but considering how much of it is recycled and how it uses them sparingly it's possible they have a similar limitation. I think the first Mobile Suit to just have a straight I-Field that worked was the V2 Assault, and that's like the fourth defensive system on the drat thing. But you aren't wrong, the limitations of I-Fields are mostly stuff retrofitted onto the series.

I would've figured the limitations of I-Fields would've been a kinda ad hoc thing based on the writer and the given villain of the week and how the hero needs to overcome their seemingly impenetrable shield honestly (or vice versa)

The Full Armor Unicorn was just the Unicorn with every spare gun they had on the Nahel Argama bolted on. That makes sense, but where did the giant beam spear come from? Was it an optional Jesta weapon that none of the Jesta pilots in the show ever use?

The beam spear is specifically from the Armed Armour upgrade series for the RX-0 line, so it's a purpose-built weapon rather than just something they found lying around the hangar.

The Full Cloth's I-fields are literally the same ones as the X-3. As in, they salvaged them off of the X-3's remains and added them to the X-1 literally.

Omnicrom posted:But you aren't wrong, the limitations of I-Fields are mostly stuff retrofitted onto the series. I don't mind it in the case of the Crossbones, since the limitations on size make sense there (even though you'd think the technology would have advanced some in the decades since the One Year War), but the fluff explanation that Dozle only went out in the Big Zam at the end of the battle at Solomon because he knew the Big Zam had power/heat issues with it's i-field and could only operate it for 20 minutes annoys me since it ignores quite a bit of context regarding that entire scenario established in 0079 itself. The most prominent example being that when Dozle is presented with the Big Zam he gives out angrily about how useless one armor is and that he'd have preferred a squad of mobile suits (I think he says Rick Dom's specifically, though I can't recall). He also doesn't go out simply because he's a commander, so he spends the majority of the battle in a command position, overseeing the evolving situation and making sure that orders are given to help prevent his side from losing. Which is much harder to do from a mobile unit of any kind, since he wouldn't have access to as much information. The only reason he goes out in the Big Zam in the first place is because he knows Solomon is lost and he just wants to draw it out as long as possible to give his family and his men as much time to escape as he can, as well as to take down as much of the enemy as he can personally. That kind of situation is much more interesting than "well it's got a short time frame of invincibility so I just won't use it" on it's own, in my opinion; even without considering that one is animated, while the other seems to come from data books or something. I see people put the reason he didn't sortie down to limitations of the Big Zam rather than distrust of it and responsibility as a military leader much more often though, which is annoying. Apprentice Dick posted:Please give greater respect to the Stark Jegan hero we needed. I'm mostly just left mystified by Marida's activity in that scene whenever I watch it. The Kshatriya has 4 mega particle cannon's on it's chest, and it's funnels can be fired while still afixed to the binders as stationary guns so there's really no reason she should have had to rely on shielding to stop the Stark Jegan pilot or engage in melee with him in the first place. The only way I can ever really square that inconsistency away in my mind is by assuming she respected the skill he had displayed in dodging her funnels enough to want to fight him as equally as possible, rather than just blowing him away using a superior suit.

Maybe we run in different circles, but I don't think I've ever seen that argument. Dozle preferred actual military strategy to Mobile Armor superheroics is kind of a known fact.
