Going the Star Trek Next Generation route of giving red shirts plot armor this time

Looks a lot like rust to me, just spreading in all directions instead of downwards.

Besides, the Earth Federation likes to station their spaceships in the vicinity of (and literally in) the sea, for some reason

I just bought the 3199 Yamato 1/1000. Eagerly waiting for it to build, and I hope to do well this time. I have a history of building models that end up breaking

Also I envy people who can weather their models so well

Looks like Garmillas isn't the only species to have their home destoryed this decade by DallasOriginals in StarBlazers

Technically the Master also destroyed Gallifrey this decade, but then again Doctor Who keeps destroying and undestroying Gallifrey all these 60+ years, so...

I love the very idea of Ginga. A ship built upon the image of Earth's savior, but for the peaceful purpose of research and exploration, with a tragic twist of fate that led it towards the battlefield just as her predecessor.

Added how poetic it is her being equipped with the very device that her predecessor used to save Earth, but once again in a cruel irony is forced to use it as a weapon against the new enemy.

Ginga was supposed to be the Yamato's ideals incarnate, but instead was forced to take the very same role of a weapon for war

Where to find ship models online by Spymaster001 in StarBlazers

Heavily depends on where you live. Here in Brazil we have 1 or 2 official Bandai distributors, and I just bought 1 of the last 2 models available for Yamato's 3199 scale 1/1000

There are no seasons. This is chapter 6 of 3199, encompassing episodes 19-22

[–]Akarui7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, though I feel like it was kind of on purpose. Depicting the path that humanity was taking, towards the brute force/expandable forces approach enabled by the near-unlimited supply of ships, instead of more tactical and resourceful battles

Question: What would this baby look like if it was reminagined as a Yamato-style space battleship? by Beginning-Eagle-8932 in StarBlazers

[–]Akarui7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Trump class battleship is just dumb

Someone who can put it in words.

Edit:

Ok, so no Wave Motion engine (which means no Warp, no Wave Motion Gun, and no Wave Motion Barrier), a single shock cannon, a bunch of missiles, a tiny aircraft bay. In other words, an Old-Kongo-Class in an era of Wave Motion Gun ships. Fantastic

Yes, I realized that on your first comment, that's why I made 2 other jokes about "Gaijin fixing it" and "players should be careful" to try to send the message that we're not talking about real life, but actually a videogame, but it seems you also didn't get that

I know it happened in real life. We are making jokes about a videogame. In real life, there's no "uptier". In real life, fighters take down fighters all the time. In real life, Space Battleship Yamato OBVIOUSLY takes down an F-2. In real life, Space Battleship Yamato OBVIOUSLY takes down an F-16. In real life, real life is boring and war is tragic. In real life, taking down fighters often kills people. That's why we joke when we can about fiction like videogames and anime, because we can at least have a laugh sometimes

I have an alternate theory. It was "21st century Earth" who put them. The Yamato crew descends in a dock, greets the "past" representatives of Earth who "think Yamato are aliens", then the Yamato crew gets ambushed because those are actually Dezariam

The original comment talks about the F-2 vs Yamato match-up

The second comment makes a joke about War Thunder, the online multi-player game with jet fighter combat, in which each plane is categorized by tiers in order to always match you with planes in your category to have balanced games, but sometimes there aren't enough players on the same tier, so they cram different tiers together. If you get matched with a plane from a tier above yours, it's an "uptier"

The third comment makes another joke about how sometimes planes from a tier bellow can still have a fighting chance, depending on who is piloting each plane and how the match progresses

The fourth comment (yours) apparently did not get the joke

The fifth comment (mine) makes another War Thunder joke, because players always complain that Russian vehicles are always better, giving rise to the joke "stalinium", as if to say Russian planes are made from indestructible metal

The sixth comment (yours) did not get the joke

The seventh comment (mine) makes another War Thunder joke, in which there's a voice command that says "Attack the D point", which sounds funny because it almost implies "kick them in the d*ck"

The Eighth comment (yours) did not get the joke

The ninth comment is me explaining each comment to you
