it's all good man

Feel free to use this thread as a general ZEONQUEST discussion if you like.

Copypasta, because it's useful:

List of THINGS TO DO:
[ ] Stop being awesome.
[x] Get to space.
[x] Contact Flannagan Institute.
[ ] Unlock NT powers.
[ ] Meet Kycillia "Hotness" Zabi.
[ ] Incite romantic feelings in Elaine.
[ ] HAREM END
[ ] Get Jolyne with Zoloman.
[ ] Show that A00ro kid what-for.
[ ] Help Garma, Ramba Ral survive G000am.
[x] Get our essays out to interested parties
[ ] Sign up for donor registry once NT powers awaken. (Plan B=we become the EXAM system)
[ ] FUCK JABURO THE FUCK UP.
[ ] Help Bernard Wiseman along.
[ ] STEAL G000AM ALEX.
[ ] Tell Gato to be in a better OVA.
[ ]Run fingers through Garma's hair
[ ] Get rid of Gihren
[x] Discontinue the Aspalus Project


[ ] Unlock the secret to godly hair (ex. The Garma Effect)

We must protect the secret of Garma's hair at all cost! You think the Gundam is bad; imagine it with beautiful, shiny locks!

Ibuprofen never worked for me. Acetylsalisylic acid, every time.

>>7966041
I fully expect that first mark to never be checked off, but we were close during that fuck-up in Hawaii.

Also, that check next to Unlock NT powers should say, "FULLY unlock NT powers."

ACGUY THREAD

Stay sharp men! This is your BBEG.

>>7966099
It's like I'm really in /m/ 6 months ago!

>>7966108
Is that a good or bad thing?

>>7966115
I'm an /m/ native, and Acguys are love.

THIS IS OUR EVENTUAL GOAL, BTW.

>>7966041

[ ] Man Garma Up

Because we all know the kickin' ponytail he grows in Ghiren's Greed.

Like I said last thread. Get him that Fabulous Manly that few can pool off.

I don't know when he adopts this symbol, but if you see it, RUN.

Some of you may get a kick out of this.

>>7966257
Is that... CCS?

Goddammit.

>>7966236
We won't see it unless we survive the war. The earliest Amuro starts going around with that on his MS is Zeta Gundam era, I think.

It's all good. Fewer hours of Zeonquest is better than subpar hours of Zeonquest because you were trying to run it while you felt like shit.

Anyway, are we all agreed on the plan of making a video out of combat footage from Jaburo and then setting it to Revil's "Zeon is exhausted!" speech?

Also, if we do come across a Feddie mobile suit to capture (either the RX-78-1 Prototype Gundam or a Prototype GM is most likely), I propose we take it and set whatever suit we rode in to self-destruct in whatever location would do the most damage to Jaburo.

>>7966275
Specifically, Zakura and Domoyo.

>>7966257
>domoyo
>zakura
there is no reaction image for what i'm feeling

change steal the alex to p [] STEAL THE RX-78-1

>>7966287
Yeah, the first suit he uses that on is his custom Zeta Plus unit.

>>7966295

Yes, We agreed.

>>7966295
Heheheh... park it where the other MS used to be.

THIS is the reason why Amuro needs to be stopped.

Just checking but I have a question, Apologised.

Assuming David Lister continues to stay alive, how far is this going to go? I mean, considering his age and what point in history we are at, Lister could do a bunch of stuff during a long active duty career, retire as a political heavyweight from influential ms doctrine and ace status, all that.

Basically, I just want to know if this is probably going to end with the OYW, or if this will keep going past it?

>>7966304
We don't know if we can. The fiasco in Side 7 will have started by the time we attack Jaburo. The 78-1 gets used as repair fodder for The Gundam.

Stealing the Alex is a semi-realistic goal.

>>7966295
Virtually any Zeon MS will have guncams or combat recorders, so no problems there.

And a RX-78-1 would be a jewel of a prize, but capturing one will likely be next to impossible. Far more likely we'll run across GM Precession Types or, if we're lucky/unlucky, RX-79[G] Ground Combat Gundams.

>>7966328
There is a canon variant of the nu gundam with double the FIN FUNNERU

>>7966236
Guys, I just realized something big.

Apologized mentioned a while back that he was using the timeline at http://www.ultimatemark.com/gundam/timeline.php for reference as to what was happening when in the OYW.

According to that TL, White Base is scheduled to leave Jaburo on September 15th, en route to Side 7 to pick up the RX-78-2 units; the first episode of MSG takes place on September 18th.

We're attacking Jaburo on September 10th. White Base is still going to be there, except that it won't have the RX-78-2 and it won't have Amuro.

This could be huge.

>>7966351
What's that? You want MORE FIN FANNERU?

>>7966364

DID SOMONE SAY FIN FANNERU?

>>7966355
...no way.
NO FREAKING WAY. We could FULLY PREVENT the Gundam's emergence into the war?

>>7966347
Actually, this is one of the places where the numbering scheme for the RX-78 series is confusing as all hell.

There are actually three RX-78-2 units being assembled at Side 7. Two of them get destroyed and their pieces are used to build the RX-78-3, which was more or less a testbed for upgrades to be applied to the surviving RX-78-2 (the one Amuro is piloting).

The RX-78-1 is actually a different unit completely; it was the prototype for the entire line.

>>7966383
...
That's still six funnels. Same as normal config Nu Gundam. Also, >>7966364 apparently has a mass of funnels, IN THE SHAPE OF A FUNNEL.

This is Ramba Ral. He is made of manly and pride in Zeon.

>>7966411
There is only 6 because....


The rest is detatched and attacking you.

>>7966396
FUND IT

>>7966342
I think we should focus on actually surviving the OYW first, don't you?
Considering how outclassed we'll be if the Feds finally start cranking out their own MS, we're gonna need a lot of luck to even leap this hurdle.

So, are we planning to ACTUALLY take over Jaburo? What about White Base?

>>7966387
I don't know. But if the White Base is indeed still in Jaburo, then our new top priority is clear: STEAL IT.

Looking at that timeline, they only finished building it on September 1st, so they probably aren't going to be launching it earlier than in canon unless they absolutely have to; the two weeks between its completion and departure were probably being used for shakedown purposes.

It probably doesn't have any MS aboard yet; those were all being assembled at Side 7.

>>7966470

We are planning to stay the hell away from it.

Plot armor and all that.

Besides one single ship cannot change the tide of battle. Zeon lost in canon due too much focus on it.

>>7966355

Well, we could stage a fight White Base versus Outer Heaven ... if we fly our carrier into the base.

(Yes, I know I got vetoed for good reason, but still... ;_;)

>>7966491
If we can capture it before it launches from Jaburo, though, we definitely want to.

Even without its MS complement, White Base itself would be an incredible prize for our R&D departments to examine and reverse-engineer.

>>7966364
PLAY AS NU GUNDAM, SPAM ITS DRIVE

>>7966514
It has a Minovsky Drive that we could TOTALLY use.

>>7966514

But though it has already left Jaburo, And has the gundam.

Chars failure to catch it was a few day berfore the attack, I remember someone requesting a Omake- Report of it.

>>7966524
Use its drive
adviceHizack.jpg
We'll keep JUST outside of it.

>>7966476
If it really is there, capturing it will be an absolute bitch to accomplish. Paulo Cassius is a seasoned captain, and might just choose to launch early then expose it to the enemy before it's ready for combat.

>What about White Base?
We're jumping onto it.

>>7966559
I thought it was too, until I took another look at the timeline.

>>7966559
He might, but unless the White Base itself is the scheduled departure from the Hangar Block, he's going to have to try to launch through our attack.

Not to mention that only a skeleton crew is likely to be aboard at the time, since the ship is still going through shakedown; Cassius might not even be aboard. And getting the crew onto the ship in the middle of a full-scale Zeon assault on the Hangar Block is going to be a nightmare.

well i was just about to take some cool pose and reaction shots of my MG ver2 Zaku, and my camera up and died on me FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

IDEA

-Try to get into testing for Kampfer prototypes later.
-Suggest MORE ROCKETS MORE SPEED
-Suggest DOM HOVERSKIRT TECH
-Make Kampfer Kai, FASTEST MECH IN THE LAND

>>7966699
>666

call it the Kampfer Teufal

>>7966699
kampfer paint scheme ill be of a skull knight

>>7966699
>>7966732
>>7966787
So, a Skeleton-Themed, even faster Kampfer?

I LIKE

>>7966257
GOD WHY?

wow, i might actually do this from start to finish this time! WOOT WOOT

>>7966099
that is awesome!

So, instead of a gundam jack, we have a potential 'Pegasus' jack?

This I like.

We can paint it proper military colors rather than its White on REd on Blue on gold scheme, yes?

>>7966869

Would take too long, Colours do not matter on battleships as much as the do on MSes...

The idea however reminds me of that mission in SRW@g where they repainted the Iron Gear.

>>7966869
i say we do it... but how would we crew it? we are only a group of like 6 guys... and thats a whole bloody battleship

>>7966699
as far as I can tell by looking at Doms and Kampfers, relatively little body work is required to attempt to incorporate the hoverskirt tech into the Kampfer. Plenty of room for the waist modifications, and only the lower legs would need a substantial overhaul.

That, and the Kampfer's back sports very little in the way of thrusters. Some obscenely overpowered thrusters could be added.


Also, if possible, if we can suggest shutter tech for thrusters to zeon (basically armored covers on thrusters that only open when the rocket is about to be used, to minimize how easy it is to damage thrusters), it would drastically reduce the weaknesses MS face when targeted from the rear

>>7966911
That's because in xabungle the Iron gear is basically totaled after ramming it into another iron gear class ship, so they use the newer ship after repainting it.

>>7966616
Wait wait wait wait wait....

The Acguy can actually do shit? Like, kill stuff? Holy crap, that is badass!

So, going over last thread:

Infilitration:
(Still unclear how to go about this? Was it underwater and drilling or an aerial assault?)

Targets: (In order of priority)
-Command Structure
-Production Capability
-Jaburo Geofront Rail Block Lines
-Generators/ Logistics
-Prototypes/ Data
- Targets of opportunity.

Primary Objectives:
- Breach Jaburo Perimiter
- Open one of the main hanger doors
- Hold hanger area until reinforcements arrive
- Spearhead assault into Jaburo fulfilling previously mentioned objectives.

Anything else?

Did someone say ACGuy?

>>7966981

You forgot "No deaths for the Nachtmaren members."

I don´t wanna lose anyone at least.

>>7966981
I think we moved up the damaging of the rails that move the Jaburo blocks to like, first or second priority.

>>7966994

>>7966981

Also, We are doing all 3, At the same time.

We are the drilling team.

>>7967030

Better?

>>7967055
Looks good. Also, we're going to be infiltrating by all three methods at once. We're the drill team, Boone is the underwater team, and the mechanized infantry and the other two MS companies whose designations I forget are the airdrop team.

>>7967055
looks good to me

>>7967055
Sounds good.

The only thing I can think of adding is exactly how long we're going to have before the Feddie strike force hitting Cuba can return to Jaburo. Ideally we want to either have the base under our control or be pulling out before they get back.

>>7967100
Imagine how fucking awesome it would be to see the looks on their faces if we managed to retreat after a successful raid while riding on the hijacked Pegasus?

>>7967055
>>7967077

Infilitration:
-Nachtmaren Unit
+Drill unit, underground assault.
-Mad Anglers MSM Ambhibius Assault Unit
+Waterborne Assault
-131st & 123rd Mobile Suit Companies and the Mechanized Infantry Companies
+Airborne Assault


Primary Objectives:
- Breach Jaburo Perimiter
- Open one of the main hanger doors
- Hold hanger area until reinforcements arrive
- Spearhead assault into Jaburo fulfilling previously mentioned objectives.
- OVERAL GOAL: The destabilization of Federation Production Capability.
- Addendum: Should the losses made in capturing or destroying the facility are greater than the cost, general retreat.

Secondary Objective:
- The capture or complete destruction of Jaburo
- The capture or complete destruction of prototypes

Targets: (In order of priority)
-Production Capability
-Jaburo Geofront Rail Block Lines
-Generators/ Logistics
-Prototypes/ Data
-Command Structure
-Targets of opportunity.

>>7967152

Added to that:

Operation Terminus, the massive feint to draw off the Feddies main forces at Jabro, is there any word on it?

>>7967152
Replace capture or destruction of Jaburo with research data and/or development teams. There's no way we can take the base with what amounts to basically a reinforced battalion, and holding it is straight out impossible.

>>7967152
Excellent. I really hope we can damage the rail lines; if we can keep one or more of the modular units from moving around, then even if we have to retreat it means that we can come back if/when we have more forces and attack with a known entry point, without the hassle we're going through now.

Though I am becoming a bit worried. Wouldn't the rails have to be XBOXHUGE to be able to support what is essentially a part of an entire city? We might not have anything capable of damaging them... But I guess we'll burn that bridge when we come to it.

>>7967174

Infilitration:
-Nachtmaren Unit
+Drill unit, underground assault.

>>7967193

Sounds good.

>>7967174
Yeah, this is going to have to be a smash-and-grab.

One addendum: any suits too badly damaged to be evacuated are to be self-destructed. If possible, those suits will be placed wherever the explosions would do the most damage to Jaburo.

>>7967138
Given how early in canon we are attacking I think White Base isn't on Earth yet.

>>7967183

If we damage the rail lines, there isn't any real way they could fix them without massive massive resources.

THink of the Panama Canal, the technology on it is relatively dated, but the sheer engineering effort required to update everything with that much water pressure mounting on it is incredible.

Its the same here: We collapse whatever is holding up the block the section we're in is on now. It sinks a multi megaton structure into what ammounts to a huge sinkhole.

They're not getting that block back up.

>>7967216
Actually, chances are good that it hasn't launched from Jaburo yet.

And for that matter, it might not be the only Pegasus-class there. At least two of them were completed before White Base, and as far as I know neither of them has gone into action yet.

>>7967216
>>7966355

>>7967234
I hope it'll be that easy.

>>7967276
it never is

>>7967320
Yeah, that's what my inner pessimism tells me.

Also, does anyone remember that a long time ago, we captured a prototype Guntank? I know I do. Do you think that that delayed the Federation's production of the unit, or might possibly influence a Zeonic Guntank of some kind?

>>7967276

Its not going to be easy.

But nothing worth doing ever is.

Now, we have to think of a way to disable it.

Under our command is 2 of the Drilling MS.

What I think we should do is drill holes through the base of the entire Jaburo block.

That way we drill through the mechanism thats holding the Jab-block up and the mechanism that is providing its locomotion.

The BIG question is, how do we find them? How many are there?

If the Blocks are square, and I'm just guessing, to support its weight there will be at least 5. One for each corner and one in the middle.

Given that, we'd need to disable at least 3 of the 5.

With the size of the Jab-block 'Square' I'd say more likely there are 9. The aforementioned 5 and 4 more between the outer mechanisms and the the central support.

Given 9 I'm thinking we would need to disable 6 of the support/ movement blocks to render any movement or repairs impossible or unfeasable.

>>7967344
I doubt it. The Guntank was more of a manufacturing experiment for the Feds then anything else. As for Zeon, well we already have our Zaku Tanks and the Hidolfr, why would we want more chimera designs?

Actually, The attack will on 20th.

Source:
http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/7936040/#7939900

and IIRC the Side-7 Incident happens on the 18th.

>0079.09.18
>A Principality special forces team commanded by Lt. Commander Char Aznable attacks Side 7. The RX-78 Gundam enters combat, destroying two Zakus, and the survivors of the attack are evacuated aboard the White Base. [Mobile Suit Gundam, episode 1]


So i don´t think we will encounter the WB and RX-78-2 Gundam.

Unless im on the wrong month or something.

>>7967374
I unno, I just think it looks cool. Besides, it had two artillery guns and some kind of quad-barreled machine gun hands. That's a lot of dakka.

>>7967388
We suddenly push up the attack schedule by three days. WHAT NOW?

>>7967456
We go in unprepared and the incursion fails.

>>7967388
I'm looking at http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/7949613/#7949960, where Apologized said the attack was scheduled for the 10th.

>>7967475
Shhhh, let me dream.

Feel better man. We can always wait.

>>7967456
Then the Gundam is still in space.

>U.C. 0079.08 The Federation Forces begin final testing of the RX-78 Gundam, and other prototype mobile suits, at the Side 7 research colony. Development of the RX-78NT-1 Gundam begins at the Augusta Base in North America.

And logically the White Base would already been launched, It takes more then a day to get to Side 7 IIRC.

Futher more, Haste makes Waste,We shouldn´t press our chances, Not having the White bBase in Jaburo enhances our chances of actually conquering it.... You know, The goal of this operation.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=GB&hl=en-GB&v=e8um1N78AhY

>>7967499
>>7967488

>>7967485

Hmmm, I guess we need to clarify it, 10 days just kinda vanished, But i guessed he removed somedays so we wouldn´t have so many days of nothing.

But still, I think WB is currently enroute for Side-7.

>>7967371

No ideas?

>>7967564
get the fuck in here guys its ON

>>7967569

Yessss

>>7967552
We'll be able to say more on the subject once we're inside Jaburo and can find out exactly how the rail system is set up. We don't know enough about the specifics yet to say more than "we really want to destroy this".

>>7967588
but we have the tools to do it?

>>7967193

Going back to the deployment, I'd say we move 123 Company and one of the mechanised infantry companies to the drilling site.

Drilling has probably the highest success rate, so we should have maximum forces there. Even if 123 company supports 131 (the airdrop experts) with the aerial hangar assault, Nachtmaren should at the very least be supported by a full infantry company.
