Interesting chapter not much action but a lot of building towards things

Lots of things need to be done before things can be done. But the crew of the Xerxes have done their first manoeuver in the ship successfully and haven't blown it up yet. That alone has to be a record for the CMC. And while there is no tree sap anywhere to be found, there's always fun with industrial sealants, adhesives and lubricants...

i can not even think of the kind of out put this reactor is going to have with this over hall.
sweet chapter grate read.

i can not even think of the kind of output this reactor is going to have with this overhaul.

It'll be in the terawatt range, but it will need all of that energy to run the fold drive, for reasons they'll discover later on. The protoculture reactor(s) on the SDF-1 could put out almost as much power as the M-AM reactor of the Enterprise-D could. This won't be quite that powerful, but it'll be at least as powerful as Voyager's M-AM reactor (4000- to 5000Tw range).

While I was reading the about the manouvre, I had this playing in the background.

While the real music is okay, once it gets out of the rather slow opening bit, I prefer the Robotech music over Macross. This is of course the only part of Harmony Gold's version I prefer over the original.

I also look forward to Scootaloo learning how to pilot a Alpha/Beta Legioss. While the manual controls are going to be near useless without being completely redesigned, if the pony brain is close enough to human to synch to the neural interface technology Varitech/Valkyrie fighters use, you should have instant aces as soon as you plug in a pegasus, especially Scoots.

Yeah, me too. I was originally thinking of doing a S.B.Yamato story, but there's a number of them already in here, so I looked at Robotech/Macross stories, and saw there was only two of them. So I chose this genre. Having all of the Perfect Memory books also helped.

I don't mind either series myself (got ALL of them on DVD, even Mospeada), but I'm playing this one using Shadow Chronicles as reference.

The helmets are going to have to be redesigned to suit the pony head, not to mention that the fillies are going to need smaller helmets for now. But it's not impossible. The brain is more than capable, but according to my headcanon, the structure of a pony's head is very different from a human's, mostly because of their huge eyes. The brain isn't at the top of the head, but sitting vertically behind the eyes, with another lobe for unicorns that extends up into the horn. Once they redesign the helmets to have the contacts in the right place, there will be no problems.
