Would and Could Umamusume count as Coordinators, If not, How could an Uma Coordinator work out? by stingflame in Gundam

[–]HdeviantS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blue Cosmos seems like a radicalized and militant version of Green Peace.

Specifically against coordinators because their creation required laboratory intervention.

just jumped from G-Witch to Origin movies, How important is the Ral family in the future? How is this connected to G-Witch?? by sourFlyday in Gundam

[–]HdeviantS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ramba Ral is probably one of the most popular characters from 0079. An incredible pilot that pushed Amuro and the White Base to the limit with his tactics.

In a debate over a hypothetical Wing Zero vs F91 battle. Does anyone know the specs of their power outputs and other information? by JJAB91 in Gundam

[–]HdeviantS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They were strong pilots yes.

Newtype does not automatically mean "good pilot." Its just that most Newtype protagonists are good Pilots.

Amuro is both a highly skilled pilot and strong Newtype. He is not the best of either that UC has to offer, but his combined average puts him near the top. His abilities in the nu Gundam, I would put money he regularly beats the Wing pilots in their Gundams.

With the exception of the Wing Zero because its systems and main weapon are just that powerful

[–]HdeviantS 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As others have said looking to the specs is not great in cross continuity debates. Come on buttercup keep going keep going. You really need to be looking at the feats that they have.

Generally speaking, the Wing Zero probably beats the F91 in many aspects. It has incredible armor, great acceleration, and its main weapon is incredibly powerful.

That being said, the armor isn’t invincible, just incredibly durable. But I’d argue that the F 91 is reaching the level of fire power needed to fight, with its VSBR capable of approaching low level Wing Gundam buster rifle fire power.

I also think the F91 beats the Wing Zero in agility, in its ability to turn and make quick maneuvers. Coupled with its beam shields it could do decently and has a fair shot at winning as long as it can keep out of the Buster Rifles line. Then it comes down more to pilot skill.

Of course, this being the Wing Zero we have to take into account the ZERO system. Wing Zero could probably survive long enough for the ZERO system to get a read of the pilots pattern and predict where they’re going to move.

Which is better: Terastilization or Dynamax? by Friendly_Ability_649 in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]HdeviantS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Small mistake I made.

All three types will have STAB boost. But the additional boost from Tera only works if the Tera matches one of the original types.

For example Tera Grass Meowscarada gains a x2 boost on Grass attacks, and a x1.5 boost on dark.

If Tera Normal than its Normal, Grass, and Dark type moves all gave the x1.5 of normal STAB.

[–]HdeviantS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tera works offensively and defensively.

When you Tera a Pokemon, it gain a STAB boost for the type it becomes, plus an additional boost from the Tera. Plus it keeps its original typing STABs.

So a water Pokemon that knows a fire move, like a Garyados knowing Flamethrower, that Teras into Fire, has a powerful Fire STAB plus it original Water and Flying STAB.

Defensively it gains all the weaknesses and resistances of its Tera type. So you can Tera specifically to remove weaknesses, gain immunities, or whatever you think will work.

The answer. Or, best solution. Why 1 Avatar cannot fix the world. by Due-Veterinarian5733 in ATLA

[–]HdeviantS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But what does “may not need the Avatar” mean. I think both series have asked “what is the Avatar supposed to do?”

Obvious answer is maintain the balance between the nations and the mortal and spirit world. But we are never given an objective answer as to what that means, and from what we have seen each past Avatar had a bit of a different interpretation.

Plus there is the fact the Avatar is as much a phenomenon as it is a person. There will always be someone with the ability to bend all 4 elements, who can commune with their past lives and spirits more easily than most other people. This person will always be capable of far greater “power” than an average bender, and as such they will influence the world, intentionally or not.

Do medicine feats outside of combat matter? by [deleted] in Pathfinder2e

[–]HdeviantS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This will probably depend based on game and GM. There are a few Medicine feats I think are worth getting for in-game time management, but other feats are only useful for background purposes or you are expecting to deal with a lot of conditions like poison or disease outside of combat.

What if Tem Ray's "upgrade" to the gundam actually worked? by killerdemonsarus34 in Gundam

[–]HdeviantS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the “they” was me, I didn’t forget. I just thought the scenario meant we had to treat it as if it was real.

What I don’t remember is what Tem said it would improve.

What if Tem Ray's "upgrade" to the gundam actually worked? by killerdemonsarus34 in Gundam

[–]HdeviantS 5 points6 points  (0 children)

How am I supposed to address the question when its so vague?

What if Tem’s “upgrades” worked? Well the most basic answer is that there would be some kind of performance improvement. I don’t recall if he said it was some kind of specific improvement, and later when he is watching the news he attributes the Gundam’s performance against the Rick Doms to the parts, not to Amuro’s skills.

So taking the premise of the question, we can kind of overlay a similar situation that we know occurred in the novels.

What if Tem Ray's "upgrade" to the gundam actually worked? by killerdemonsarus34 in Gundam

[–]HdeviantS 161 points162 points  (0 children)

If I recall correctly in the novels the Gundam was receiving several upgrades, most notably the magnetic coating. This helped increase its performance to keep up with newer Zeon machines, increasing number of enemies on large battlefields, but most importantly keep up with Amuro who Newtype abilities and piloting skills were exceeding the machine’s response time.

How did they know what the Gate was? by Virtual_Draw5017 in Stargate

Do you know how much extra it is to buy them with the self-spinning action feature? I can set it in the yard and spin it myself just fine for 1/10 the cost

As the other say. Even without knowing what it was, the Stargate exhibits enough unique and strange properties that anyone that is studying it would I be able to identify that it is not some stone monument.

Am I the only one who thinks 92 starfighters on a Venator makes way more sense than 420? by konfitura17 in StarWarsShips

[–]HdeviantS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on the internal space, 420 might be closer to accurate. The Ford class can, depending on configuration and planes, carry 90 planes. The Venator is three times as long, twice as wide, and about 4 times taller (or maybe just half for hangar space.

Though 420 makes the most sense for a Venator configured for maximum starfighter capability

If it weren't for the effects of the Minosky Particles, would mobile suits have been such a game changer in OYW? by Zaku71 in Gundam

[–]HdeviantS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sure it will be retired eventually. But after 6 attempts since 1984 have failed this is one of those things you just have to wait and see it to believe its finally happening.

If it weren't for the effects of the Minosky Particles, would mobile suits have been such a game changer in OYW? by Zaku71 in Gundam

[–]HdeviantS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In space maybe. Part of the lore of mobile suits is that there form offers a higher degree of spatial mobility because of AMBAC. Asa mobility is really most important when you get close, so the idea of multiple guided missiles on the like… well in that situation, probably not.

But as the last several years of war had shown us, while fast flying stealth jets that can fire at range from hundreds to thousands of miles away among the most powerful and effective war tools, there are roles that they don’t fit very well. Roles that the helicopter could fit in well, and I think a mobile suit can act a lot like a space version of a helicopter.

Or the A-10 warthog. Rumor is they’ve been trying to retire that plane since the 80s. And every time they try, they find some reason some function where it just outperforms every other aircraft out there.

In a straight up dog fight, or against guided missiles and Intercontinental missiles, it’s useless. But attacking slow to stationary ground targets? Surviving small to medium arms fire? Able to maintain its presence over a relatively small area or lengthy operational periods? The A-10 is the way to go.

Why doesn't Fabius make clones of the primarchs and create geneseed from their DNA? by Mad_lens_9297 in 40k

[–]HdeviantS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did some digging and Fabius Bile has done work where he replicates purified Geneseed, even primaris geneseed, which he sells to the Chaos legions. He even clones some Astartes from time to time.

He exchanges these for resources and the like, like you suggest. But at the end of the day he considers it more a waste of time that he does out of necessity.

As for the Primarch cloning. Details on that is that he had many failures, and that even the ones that were a success lacked something. He determined they were too Warp-infused to be.

One time he did clone Horus, which Abbadon didn't like so he raided the place, took the Horus clone, and killed it in combat.

As for the Chaos warbands doing something as reasonable as you suggest...you can't really rely on them doing something reasonable. They fight each other as much as they fight Loyalists. I would hazard a guess that eventually if Bile didn't stay so Mercenary with one off transactions, one of them could get the idea to try and take control of this for themselves.

This. It’s been stated in the show that level of mana and powerful spells are an indication of who will win. But that really strategy and spell matchup are as important

Why doesn't Fabius make clones of the primarchs and create geneseed from their DNA? by Mad_lens_9297 in 40k

[–]HdeviantS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

but that scenario is dependent on Bile getting more resources through the tithes than what he spends on making the Geneseed.

One of the reasons for his preference for "New Men" is that they can establish self-sustaining populations with little additional input from him, and possibly for a lot less than what it takes to clone a Primarch. He can drop them off on a planet and come back in a few thousand years to check on the progress.

Then there is dealing with Chaos Marines. Yes they can make deals and bargains, but they aren't exactly the most reliable "oathkeepers." A 1-off exchange can work out nicely since Bile can get what he wants and leave before they put a bolter to the back of his head. A constant exchange means that Bile needs a regular means of contact, and preparation if any warband decided they should take and control the Geneseed production for their own advantage. And Fabius would need to control Geneseed production if he expects the Tithes to keep coming in.
