Why do retro mecha games have such stupid designs?
Take a look at the picture. The robot (circled in red) comes out of that weird ship (circled in yellow).
The problem is that.. 4 more robots come out of that tiny little ship.
How is that supposed to make any sense?
How can 5 robots fit inside such a small ship?
>>
how do you know how wide the ship is?

Are you the guy who complained about some spaceship in some shmup recently?
Play Cybernator. It has more or less correct proportions of mechs to people and ships

It's a clown ship

The same type of argument that sub-average intelligence pseudo-intellectuals use to try and "champion" science, except all this does is convince the anti-sciencers who happen to be intelligent-yet-misguided cling even harder to religion and ignorance.

Because it fits 5 robots :)

WHAT IS THIS? A SPACE SHIP FOR ANTS?

Bipedal mechs (or mechs at all) aren't even very feasible or even good for anything, are you going to complain about the minute detail in a (really old) game about a dumb sci-fi concept for nerds?
>>
even Mobile Suit Gundam has Minovsky particles and Newtypes to explain away how the mobile suits and psycommu systems work
its sci fi you're not supposed to think too hard about these things

Looks like this will be necessary on /vr/, too.

The ship in question utilizes a dimensional phased array system. What this means is that mecha reinforcements are literally warped in from other locations to the ship circled in yellow. More than 4 are able to warp in, bu it is stressfull on the dimensional array and thus more than 4 mecha gating in is rare. If you want to see truly retarded mecha/ship design, literally play any US/Euro shmup.

Hey look, that thread again. Having fun asking the same stuff over and over OP?
>>
Did Compile hire a fucking 8 year old to do their artwork? What's with the tiny ear.
Unforgivable.

See how much better this looks?
This game is going in the garbage.
>>
>>3559701
The sci fi version of this explanation would be that the ships are being assembled on the fly out of some extremely dense material. 3d printing basically.

In order to cut cost, Compile did indeed hire artists as young as 8 years of age. These young masters would later move on to Sega of America, where they would redraw box art for more western tastes and man the Xerox machine to craft instruction manuals.
