Ophiuchus WHat about Legend and Destiny's power sources? They're a superior type of battery, due to the ability to power all that beamy s**t, but they aren't nuclear powered, as they have a power guage. That's a great question. As of yet, we've been unable to figure out exactly what makes them tick. Unfortunately most of the speculation compiled on this subject disappeared when GOUF went down. confused I'm sure, however, that if you asked around you'd find some sort of answer...

question 6)
a.) Can a coordinator be a newtype?
b.) Can a Newtype have SEED?
To my belief:
a.) Is no, b/c Newtype comes naturally, right? Like in the UC era, Enhanced Humans are near Newtype, but they are not Newtypes. And to some degree, coordinators are enhanced humans (they are engineered from the begining, hence my belief)
b.) Is yes, b/c this is a genetic trait found in any person
anyone want to clarify my judgement?

Is yes, b/c this is a genetic trait found in any person anyone want to clarify my judgement? That sounds about right. I mean, Kira can't be a Newtype because he's already a Coordinator. Aside from that being rediculously overpowering from a writer's pov, there is almost no proof aside from the NT flashes in those few times Kira uses the Dragoons on S-Freedom - and those are the ones enhanced to support people without the 'enhanced spatial awarness' that was needed for the Gunbarrels and Providence. That, and Chaos' Gunpod-things operated under the same system. And, indeed, Fukuda has stated that anyone can 'go Seed' - reguardless of it only showing up in main characters who really matter. It's also a power-up, considering how Kira can summon it at will after a while - much like Goku and his Super Saiyan, or Toguro in Yu Yu Hauksho and his strength.

ok i have a few questions
1) the "EZ8" ,from 08th ms team, stands for extra zero eight. What does this mean? If this is an "extra" zero where is the first?
2)EZ8 was rebult from scrap parts after Shiro got it close to destroyed. Does anyone know what they used to rebuild it?

If this is an "extra" zero where is the first? 2)EZ8 was rebult from scrap parts after Shiro got it close to destroyed. Does anyone know what they used to rebuild it? 1) So far as I can tell, it's actually for "Extra 08th Team" Unit, or something close to those lines. Shiro's original unit assigned to the 08th Team was, of course, demolished. Rebuilding it differently would make it a different unit - hence the 'Extra-08th' kinda thing. 2) GM Parts, pretty much. Those spare parts from the Gundam Project had been used up long ago, and considering Karen's Gundam's replacment head was a GM Head, I'd say it was a load of GM parts - Ground or otherwise.

ok, another UC to CE question:
So almost all MS in CE era are "Battery" operated, correct? As well, these MS's ammo are not unlimited (meaning they have to reload). Now to the Nuetron Jammer equipped MS, such as Freedom, Justice, Strike Freedom, Infinite Justice, Providence, Legend, Destiny, Akatsuki, and others. It seems to me, that there ammo is unlimited (when I guess coming to beam weaponry) b/c they have a nuclear core reactor, correct?
So here is the thing that strikes me. All UC era MS are powered by a nuclear reactor (or that was to my belief). And even if that is not so, they are in the future MS. But there beam weapon ammo is not unlimited. Why are the UC nuclear core run MS have unlimited ammo, and the UC nuclear core run MS have limited ammo??

Why are the UC nuclear core run MS have unlimited ammo, and the UC nuclear core run MS have limited ammo?? Ah, it all depends on the power source. This should answer your question; it's the glossary entry for the E-CAP on Gundam Official: Gundam Official A mega particle cannon like those installed in space warships requires a large electrical power source, a steady supply of energy in the form of Minovsky particles, and a massive energy condensor to compress the latter into mega particles prior to firing. Therefore, it initially seems impossible to install these weapons in mobile suits. These issues are addressed with the development of the energy capacitor, which makes it possible to create compact beam weapons with greatly reduced power and energy requirements. The E-CAP stores Minovsky particles in a compressed, high-energy state, just short of fusing into mega particles. The power output of a mobile suit's generator, although far lower than that of a warship, is sufficient to complete this process and form mega particles. However, the mobile suit is unable to replenish the supply of Minovsky particles inside the E-CAP, and once this energy supply is exhausted the weapon must be returned to a base or carrier vessel for recharging. This is true for the exchangeable E-Packs as well. The only way that a Mobile Suit in UC Gundam can have effectively unlimited ammo for a Beam Weapon is if said Beam Weapon is driven directly from a reactor that can adequately power the weapon and create the required number of Minovsky Particles to be compressed and fired. Needless to say, most Mobile Suits don't have reactors that can accomplish such feats. Beam Weapons in CE Gundam are limited by their power supplies as well, as they are connected via a direct feed to the main power source (in most cases; the CAT/1-Xx/3 Hyperion units and the ZGMF-1000 ZAKU Warrior both equip exceptions to this rule--they have certain Beam Weapons that are powered by independent batteries). As long as the weapon has energy behind it, it will continue to be able to fire (unless, of course, it becomes damaged). So, as the battery of a battery-powered Mobile Suit becomes drained, so does the energy for the Beam Weapon. A Mobile Suit with a nuclear reactor (and a N-Jammer Canceller) doesn't have this problem because it won't run out of power. Answer your question? wink

wait wait wait!
so the reason why the beam rifles in CE don't run out is because it is connected???? Is this via cable, or when it is stored in it's back or wherever?
and speaking of storing beam weapons, what about the Rick Dias?
Doesn't it recharge it's beam pistol with the backpack it is carrying???
(from what I see, CE is so full of it... God, UC is more realistic, sigh of relief)
Oh yea, that reminds me, so the little excerpt you gave me for the ship weaponry, is that the same with CE?

Well, if it's hand-held, it's via hand plug. If not than via cable (or the like).
The RMS-099 (MSA-099) Rick Dias does indeed have backpack storage racks, but I'm pretty sure that they aren't for recharging the Beam Pistols. The E-CAPs of the Beam Pistols would be recharged in the Argama, the Radish, and the like. I think I know what you're getting this from; no, Gundam Vs. Zeta Gundam is not a reliable source.
And that excerpt isn't about warship weapons. Read it again. wink

no I am not basing a thought on a game (rather, I have not played that game). This question comes out, for the fact that I am constructing an RP and I am trying to figure out ligistics
The first Paragraph on Gundam Official is about the beam weapon on a warship (or the first couple of sentences)
COnnected via hand plug?
Like the one shown in 08th MS team (when they are attacking that encampment in the beginning, where they met the resistance?
That is a hand plug right?
So is the Minovsky reactor weaker than the reactor core in the CE nuclear gundams? Or is that plug used only for activation of weapons?

Quote: no I am not basing a thought on a game (rather, I have not played that game). This question comes out, for the fact that I am constructing an RP and I am trying to figure out ligistics Okay, my mistake. The Minovsky-Ionesco fusion reactor on the RMS-099 (MSA-099) Rick Dias wouldn't be powerful enough to recharge the E-CAPs of the Beam Pistols--it already has too many other things that it needs to supply energy to. Quote: The first Paragraph on Gundam Official is about the beam weapon on a warship (or the first couple of sentences) Right, but the overall passage is about the E-CAP, which is mainly used by Mobile Suits. You can't read only the first couple of sentences and expect to have the gist of the content. Quote: COnnected via hand plug? Like the one shown in 08th MS team (when they are attacking that encampment in the beginning, where they met the resistance? That is a hand plug right? A plug in the hand that feeds power and data to the weapon, yes. Quote: So is the Minovsky reactor weaker than the reactor core in the CE nuclear gundams? Or is that plug used only for activation of weapons? The energy plug has nothing to do with it (or at most very little). The fission reactors used in CE Gundam are simply more powerful than the Minovsky-Ionesco fusion reactors used in UC Gundam. Just compare the fission reactor output of the ZGMF-X10A Freedom (8826 kW) to the fusion reactor output of almost any UC Gundam Mobile Suit. It's not until the latter part of the Universal Century that any Mobile Suit reactor comes close to pumping out that much power. There's also the simple fact that CE Gundam technology is different than that of UC Gundam technology. Beam Weapons in the Cosmic Era probably don't fire Mega Particles, and they may be "stronger" or "weaker" on the whole than Universal Century Beam Weapons. We can't say for certain because the two take place in effectively different timelines.

this is weird but here goes. If anyone has volume 1 dvd of the original Mobile Suit Gundam then they have also listened to the remix song of a track from the show. It is played at the main menu. Does anyone know what this remix is called?

So far as I know, anyway.
