Yes, though I don't remember by how much it's bigger. For all I know it's like 560m - mostly I remember it has an extra hangar compared to the Hagane. (edit: The Hagane has multiples too, so it's not doubling its carrying capacity or anything.) That said, it also has a Balmarian-derived space-jump system, and Balmarian ships are gigantic (the Hermodr class is 27.8 kilometers long, and even the Huleh is much bigger than the Earth's ships IIRC) so I assume they went 'eh, put some more bits on, whatever'. Or Euzeth provided dimensions. Prism fucked around with this message at 21:40 on Aug 6, 2016 |

AzraelNewtype posted:The Eltreum is 70km long, so there's still plenty of room before they hit the Top. Well yeah, I meant the OG Earth ships. Even the Exelion's a good 7.2 kilometers. I want to say the Huleh class is in the same rough size range as it.

Just started Moon Dwellers, had been doing it on stream live (stream's over now though). Holy poo poo are those early SR points brutal. I don't even know how you'd do Space 3. I couldn't physically get to them fast enough. (I'd killed 3 and nicked a fourth.)

It doesn't help that Rai just ain't that fast, even when paired with someone faster. If you keep items in NG+, I could definitely do it then, though. I'd only need a couple Boosters, one for each member of the team.

Tighran posted:How is the English translation of Moon Dwellers, mechanically speaking? Meaning story stuff aside, do the menus and spirit commands and mission objectives make sense? I'd love to play a SRW game without having to refer to a guide for the first half of the game to learn the seishins and for the rest of the game for the objectives and bonus stuff. And getting some story stuff would be neat too, even knowing that it'll be bad at times. The mechanical stuff is perfectly legible; the game throws a couple surprises at you (on a 'defeat all enemies on the same turn', more enemies show up when you kill them, and you have to get them too) but that's not a translation thing. The big thing to note is that when it says 'by turn X' it really means including that turn. Many of the SCs and robots and such are not the same as their older translations, though (Accel is now Quicken, for instance) but if you've never played a SRW game you won't even notice that. I've seen some typos and some badly translated attack names, but nothing that would stop you from playing. The story is kind of hilariously translated though, yeah.

Do we know if this version with english subs will have full translation or only partial menu stuff? If it's like their Moon Dwellers one, it will have a full translation (if somewhat mechanical at times, and prone to grammatical errors).

EthanSteele posted:Yeah it would have been wild, but holy molyyYYY. That's not quite what I was expecting but that is 100% a Mazinkaiser++ version of Great Mazinger. I doubt the SRW folks would let the translators do it as Genie Emperor G but the tamashii store website would lead me to believe otherwise if it's gonna be MD style crabstick translation. I don't think MD did anything as bad as that. Maybe thats why they got the "better" translators for V they mentioned in the interview thing? That site is just machine-translated (it appears to be Google Translate, specifically); it points out its machine translation in the bottom right, though I missed it at first too. I doubt any translator has ever looked at it. The name of the unit is, on the Japanese version of the page, Mazin Emperor G (マジンエンペラーG) and I would expect it to be called that in English. Hell of a surprise unit, though. Prism fucked around with this message at 05:42 on Oct 30, 2016 |

I'm just real glad it was the old Huckebein art. I like it more than its future evolutions, probably because it's not so busy (something Banpresto seems to have trouble with occasionally). Old Grungust is pretty aces too. I can't say I was expecting either of these, but I expected the Huckebein less after all they've done to get rid of base-model Huckebeins in OG games.

Schwarzwald posted:I'm used to thinking of the Huckebein series as being super detailed and overly designed, so seeing how streamlined the original suit is really surprised me. It actually looks really cool! The F and FF-era art was quite different in general from modern art. Gundams had eyes in-game. It was a weird time. But the concept art was generally a little less busy - as you put it, accurately, more streamlined. Even the Guest generic units got a huge bump in complexity when they started showing up in OG games (though some of them, like the original Liege Geios, were already starting to become really complex). Edit: IMO this really began with the PSX-era and onward games, probably because the increasing resolution allowed them to make more complicated designs legible on-screen. Even the GBA screen, though no bigger in resolution than the SNES, tended to be a little sharper than an old-style CRT monitor. Prism fucked around with this message at 21:59 on Oct 31, 2016 |

The middle one is the Gyan Custom, which was built much later than the Gyan - it's Neo-Zeon, but was much harder to pilot than most of their mechs so never made it out of very limited production. G Gen's used it before - in fact I think they're the only thing that ever has, as it was created for one of the G Gen games, SD I think - so it's not surprising that they've decided to use it again. I don't recognize either of the others immediately, though. edit: now with timg, didn't realize that was so big Prism fucked around with this message at 21:08 on Nov 15, 2016 |

Samurai Sanders posted:Huh I didn't know that, I thought nukes were prohibited by treaty all the way through CCA. To be fair, there's really no reason to ban nuclear warheads in space, where fallout is not exactly an issue and the sun is putting out lots of radiation all the time. On Earth and against colonies, sure, but if you're having a space mobile suit fight a tactical nuke is not really going to cause any particular long-term problems except to soldiers. Just short-term ones from everything blowing up. Prism fucked around with this message at 13:56 on Nov 18, 2016 |

HitTheTargets posted:Huh. I always figured it was some bullshit pedantry. Like, the Antarctic Treaty only applied to the Principality of Zeon, not neutral colonies or whatever you'd call the Delaz fleet. And indeed there's a GP-02 variant loadout when they don't want to use a nuke that uses a giant beam bazooka (it's modified from the Squire weapon platforms, which you might remember being used in Unicorn as makeshift turrets by Geara Zulus but were originally designed for Zakus in the OYW). That loadout is absolutely 100% not violating anything.

Samurai Sanders posted:Another thing I was never clear on, was that attack that GP02 used that wiped out the fleet the nuke, or that beam bazooka thing? That was the nuke, though the way it's animated sure makes it look like it's going to be a beam. The beam bazooka doesn't actually make a spherical explosion like that, though; it's just a beam cannon in two parts that locks together the same way as the atomic bazooka.

I thought those were disposable (and in fact would have been mounted on a launch system of some sort - booster rockets maybe?), though they were designed to be directional. More or less. Within ten or fifteen degrees, anyhow (which is to be fair a hell of a lot more directional than most nuclear explosions).

ImpAtom posted:You don't have designated units. Instead it's about collecting and upgrading units and pilots. The plots are almost universally just "here is the actual story." The mechanics are pretty different but the game has tutorials that explain them all. Interesting. Does it let you use wrong-theme characters and robots if the plots are straight adaptations - for instance, can I deploy Domon in the 0079 plot if I've got him? Or, for an even more extreme example, Quattro? Not that I remember if Domon is in this one, it's just an example.

G Generations Genesis note: Save before you start messing with modifications. I had a softlock while installing one, and now I have to redo the stage before since I thought I'd do the gear meddling first. Edit: I don't really want to do that stage again immediately. Is there any penalty for wandering off and doing one of the other scenarios for a while? I started with the original 0079 stuff, but if I go and do Zeta's scenarios is it going to remove my progress on 0079? Prism fucked around with this message at 05:42 on Nov 23, 2016 |
