Not misguided, and he's not really a supporter of the status quo. He's very relatable because he is lazy and has zero ambition. He's not supporting the current state because it's democratically elected, it's just there's no good reason for him to get all in a huff and do something incredible when all he wants from life is to read books and watch docs all day. That's the trick, he inevitably has to do things once the FPA bars him from a peaceful life.

Not so much misguided nor a supporter of the status quo, just a strong believer in the principles of republican democracy. He tells Reinhard as much himself when they meet and discuss the virtues of imperialism and democracy. A benevolent dictatorship is only guaranteed to be effective as long as the ruler is in power, while even in a worst-case democracy, voting power rests in the public's hands and there is the hope that it can fix itself.

Anyway, as a soldier he considers it extremely unethical to touch any part of the political process himself, and even if he were to retire, he did not have the right personality to become a politician.

I dunno if you've seen the gaiden/sidestory episodes, but it shows more of Yang in his early days. Even without seeing them, you should have noticed that Yang isn't ambitious and always refers to how he wants to retire with a nice adequate pension. He's reluctant to do anything that Schenkopp tells him to do like take power and rule the FPA with a military fist because it goes against his principles and his relaxed, thoughtful, and unambitious personality.

It's just that he had different morals from Reinhardt.

Reinhardt doesn't believe the end justifies the means, but he is an autocrat from an autocratic society. To him, the greater good is served by taking over the Empire and enforcing his own ideas on improving the human condition and bringing justice to the people.

Yang believes that he is a servant of the people. He's a republican in a democratic society, and he believes that a legitimately elected democratic government has greater moral authority than any one man.

Tots have to retweet this

Damn did not mean to start a new thread, guess I'm a newfag.

Yeah man I mean not knowing how to reply is pretty newfangled behavior that's like something you learn on day 1

Do you like robots? Do you like customization with your robots? Do you like earmuffs? Then you'll fucking love this game.

It's the closest thing to Custom Robo we'll ever get again. It's basically Custom Robo with a watered down version of Gundam Extreme Vs. for battles.

It's good for what it is, but the fact that you need to wait like 3 seconds when a robot goes down and all the scripted fights in the story really puts a damper on gameplay.

That looks like a salmon to me. But hey, Char's Zaku color is salmon pink so it's still related

nope just the random Zeonic-Corps chapters. Remember Gundam 00P was a photonovel, not a manga in Dengenki Hobby Magazine. It's really rare for those to get translated since it would require someone to either have a subscription to Dengeki for 4 years or to have bothered to buy the compiled volumes before they went out of print.

>>13739267
No, but you can visit this particular site dedicated to 00:
http://z11.invisionfree.com/gundam00/index.php

Most of the image links don't work, but the summaries are still there, and some discussion.

Of note is the fact that several notable people there had also posted the info here and on MAHQ during the time of 00, including Homeless and Good Haro.

Speaking of Good Haro, anyone know what happened to their blog? It used to have some extra 00 summaries, if I remember correctly.

are you even from around here

This is too fucking meta

>>13739018
Arthur C. Clarke has /m/ material but childhood's end isn't it.
>b-but it has spaceships

I know how you feel, I remember when I first realized how long ago Ultraman Gaia was. Feels, man.

Oh God, I was 13 when they came out.

No, wait, 14. I fucked up the math again

Star Driver was great fun, but it could have been turned into a 9/10 show with one simple change:

Whenever the Phase goes up, all of the cybodies get repaired, Tauburn included.

Suddenly, Tauburn can actually lose a fight, or even just be heavily damaged, without it being an instant show-ender. Indeed, he would almost certainly be outright defeated once or twice in the show, followed almost immediately by the Crux unlocking the next phase and reseting all of the Cybodies.

Now the fights actually feel like they could go either way, because the plot does not absolutely demand that every fight be a flawless victory in the Tauburn's favor.

Our next Group Build!

Field Repair

Basically what this means is that rather than the mobile suit being fresh out of a factory, it's quite the opposite. Whether it's trudging through dense jungles or dodging debris in asteroid belts, your mobile suit has seen some better days.
You've been out in the field for quite a long time now, nearly half a year of active duty in the front lines and your personal mobile suit's pretty banged up. What's worse is the fact that there isn't a maintenance bay within several thousand kilometers of your local area that's capable of making any major repairs. Your unit's engineering crew has resorted to patch work and jury-rigging to keep your machine operational. Stray fire might have crippled its legs and arms or otherwise dealt considerable damage to a mobile suit's systems meanwhile some units have simply lost bits of armor and panels to the elements and have been forced to patch weld metal sheets over the exposed inner workings.
In any case it's beaten to hell but somehow you and your team have somehow kept it chugging along and now command's ordered all units operating in your theatre to fall back to form a defensive line against the enemy offensive.

I'm having an issue with sanding nubs down on my pieces.

What I notice is it feels like the nub itself isn't getting sanded down, but instead everything around it is. I'm using 1000 grit and 2000 grit sandpapers I bought from an auto shop, and yet no matter how I try to sand the nub off that little white spec never goes away and I'm afraid I'm gonna end up sanding off a huge portion of the piece trying to get rid of it.

Any tips on how I can improve my technique? Should I use a higher grit sandpaper? Lower? Some other tool?

>>13741066
Can you put your sand paper around a block or an edge of some type? I'm guessing your sand paper is just folding around your piece sanding everything instead of just the nub

You calling my mechafu fat brah?
I guess Char intended to spearhead the attack with it. The Sazabi has a ridiculous amount of firepower and can take a lot of punishment.
Or because it looks cool and threatening.

I haven't watched CCA in a while but I don't remember the rest of the mecha to be particulary bigger than before

Because technology developed?

>>13739395
It follows the DYRL canon, so it has both ARMD carriers.
Also

>somehow it's fully intact, has the ARMD Carriers, has the main cannons, and can still fly

>The Macross takes part in one more major engagement against rogue Zentradi Kamjin Kravshera's forces during the Defensive Battle of Macross City in January 2012. Despite extensive damage following the battle, the Macross is repaired and undergoes a major refit. To this day, the Macross remains the home of the U.N. Military Command Center and is berthed in Macross City on Earth.

Either way, repairs and refits to the Macross is pretty much the explanation.

It's been over 50 years, upgrades and repairs are expected.
It probably participated in the defence of Earth when the Vajra, controlled by Galaxy, attacked as well.

>Someone explain this sorcery.
All the shows (that we watched) are in-universe adaptations of events that occurred (in said universe), and some liberties were taken.
