That was interesting. A little long for a prolouge, but very good all
the same.
Way too long for me to wade through till it got interesting.
It was a little slow, perhaps, but I still found it interesting.
There is also one fatal flaw to the premise:
While the Macross types have somewhat higher levels of technology,
they don't Minoffski physics, and they are very dependant on radar in
general and IR seekers. I'm afraid anything that can't generate a
shield would quickly become toast in the Gundam universe, especially
with Newtypes in the picture.
I fail to see how this is a 'fatal flaw.' If the author were to ignore
the existence of such a problem, then I would be more inclined to agree
with you. However, we have yet to see the Gundam universe yet, so it is
too early to assume that the problem will not be dealt with by the author.
Macross mecha are not dependant on Radar. They do rely on it to a great
extent, but there is no reason to assume that a pilot would be unable to
function with out it.
Also, while my knowledge of Gundam lore is rather limited, I do not recall
Minoffski particles having any effect on IR.
Besides those Gundam weenies could not overcome the power of Protoculture!!
(I'm kidding! I know the author was writing about Macross! :)
