Blade Runner had the right idea re: Super Soldiers. Go ahead and have them, just make sure they die before they can cause too much trouble.

Alternatively: The Killbot Solution. Engineer your supersoldiers to have a pre-set kill limit at which point they expire.

Ghost Leviathan posted:Zeon is also not too subtly based on Imperial Japan iirc and presumably having the same problem where they sent all their aces to get killed and by the end of the war they're struggling to maintain manpower against a foe that might as well have unlimited resources. There's a good smattering of Nazi Germany in there too, spending huge amounts of money and resources on wonder-tanks that can theoretically outclass anything else on the battlefield. But that just leads to a handful of models reaching the field while the quasi-Allies just keep churning out 'pretty good' GM's and 'very good' Gundams in numbers that can easily overwhelm the few Zeon units. The King Tiger vs. Sherman/T-34 issue. IN SPAAACE!

GTD Aquitaine posted:Cosigned. Sure, the Colossus wields more firepower than five Orion-class destroyers combined, but wouldn't it have been a lot easier to build five Orion-class destroyers instead? Or fifty? drat thing took twenty years to build while the GTVA was recovering from an apocalypse. We all know the Hecate-class is superior, anyway. That's just history repeating itself. The Imperial Japanese would have been better off using the resources needed to build two super-battleships to instead build four or five aircraft carriers. Germany would have been better off building 50 submarines instead of Bismarck and Tirpitz. Et cetera.

On the other hand, Luke says his dad was a navigator on a spice freighter, making it sound pretty mundane and not something equivalent to 'drug smuggler.'
