Damn, now I watched the episode...................

.......I cant really say much. So the shit had guns in the first place, tons of them, and never bothered using any of it?



Damn, Patrick is dead. Well, he technically did kind of had a rivalry with Tieria, since they were always fighting eachother and going eachother, and Patrick has survived so many times it was a bit weird. Looks like Sarshes is dead, but it wasnt exactly confirmed so he could come back somehow, I dunno.

But yeah, everyone's still alive, not sure how though.

The new guy is Lelouch's brother? WHAT!?!?!

[Dark Lord Revan]

it just means ali is either really 6 feet under, or that he'll only come back in the second season.

And im quite sure the ship didnt have weapons, looks like they recently rigged up some.

[Crusader]

Nah, by the looks of this those weapons have always been there, the Gundams' *Combat Containers* looks like ther were the same ones the whole time, which had twin GN Cannons and Missile Launchers. Since there're usually 4 attached to the ship, that means there are 8 of each on the ship, making a pretty impressive arsenal.

[Dark Lord Revan]

The problem is that i cant find any source saying its armed, in either english or japanese.

[Sykes]

"The assault container, with its GN missles and all kinds of built-in firepower, functions as is as the Ptolemaios' armament. In particular, the large GN cannon on the top, operational even when connected to the assault container, becomes the Ptolemaios' main armament."

Straight from Gunota. It also went on to say that it doesnt have its own GN drive so without a gundam it can't operate. So im assuming that the Dynames' GN drive was providing the power to use the weapons. That would answer the question as to why they were never used before.

Patrick's always been the comic relief, that's why I liked him so much.

what? did you think my obviously sarcastic posts of "Patrick is best eva!" were't sarcasm?

No... I really couldn't. I actually thought that you were serious when you said he was the best >.>

[Crusader]

Hmm good point, which is why usually there are at least two Gundams docked in the ship, so it could move around. But still, it does have stored energy.

Not only that, doesnt the missiles already have energy stored in them? since they're missiles? hmm.........



But yeah, that does make alot more sense I suppose.

[Dark Lord Revan]

Yeah so...the ship itself isnt really armed. Happy to know im not wrong then.

And regarding

Patrick's always been the comic relief, that's why I liked him so much.

what? did you think my obviously sarcastic posts of "Patrick is best eva!" were't sarcasm?

...well, you did sound like you curled up and died when he bought it. Im not happy or unhappy that he's dead either way, for example...just abit surprised.

I think having a gundam on board all the time is just coincidence, or maybe its just safer. Sometimes around the beginning of the series the ship operated independently for at least some time, it thing must have large capacitors or whatever it uses to store GN particles. If it couldnt operate for a certain amount of time without the gundams, it becomes pretty nonsensical since its closer to the gundams supporting it rather than the other way round.

[Crusader]

actually that is how it goes lol.


The ship is basically a base of operations for CB, not really a battleship or support ship.

The ship supports strategically, not physically. The ship stores large amounts of GN particles, but it also doesnt move too much when all 4 Gundams are in operation, it mostly just stays still somewhere. since in the beginning no one knew about the ship.

[Infinity238]

I wonder If they are going to use the Trinity mothership now, as I am pritty sure that Ptolomy is beyond repair at this point.

[Infinity238]

Plug...

[Crusader]

Nice, haha make that a hidden unit for our mod? lol

[Stargazer]

No! Easter Egg which we give to Kaworu for the last battle.

[Crusader]

Good idea lol.

[Dark Lord Revan]

Holy friggin' shit...you have a wip already?

Plotemy is a pretty weird...uh...thing. But it fills up a role in a non-traditional military organization i guess. I think it can be repaired though. All i see is a hollowed out bridge and some moderate hull breaches. And a missing container i think?

[Stargazer]

PATRICK LIVES!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Confirmed in official files.

[Crusader]

Haha, go figure, I knew he'd pull through, kinda.

His luck says it all, and there was not enough developement on him yet. Also, when you think about it, they cant just go off killing one of the three faction's main aces, though Patrick's 'Ace' rank is debateable lol.


Nah, that ship is pretty fucked up, MAJOR Hull breaches, one container destroyed, one gone somehow, left main engine is incapacitated, whole right side's outer area is gone, since they lost the medical bay. bridge is hollowed out, then blew up afterwards.

When a ship's bridge gets blown up, it's over for it, pretty much, since that's the most important part. repairing that is pretty much impossible, since you need to reconnect everything to it, and everything blowing up means bad for that concept.


haha, CB takes their one remaining container and leftover gundam parts and joins up with the Throne leftovers? could happen, they give Neena a real Furnace and start over from there? the Throne ship can hold 3 Gundams, and the extra one can be put in the container. Problem solved perfectly.


I pray to God I was wrong about that last part. Seriously, that would be terrible.

[Dark Lord Revan]

There jhave been real life ships that have taken even more damage...the aircraft carrier Yorktown in WWII for example. Blasted bridge, major hull damage, half blasted engine room, half the lower flight deck gone...they still got it ready for the next operation in time by some miracle though...

My point is, plotemy hasnt bought it yet. Just tow it back. And its anime...anything (almost) can happen.

Oh shoot...i really though patrick bought it...guess we still have have to tolerate his antics then, haha.

[CorSec]

Well after having the stomach to go back and watch that "wonderful" episode (and i put it loosely), Patrick should have survived. Somehow Tierra's shot blew up the upper torso....except what i think is the cockpit that was still attached to the legs. If that's true Patrick has the luck of the gods. Congratulations Stargazer... your god should still be alive.

[Crusader]

Well WWII Tech wasnt as advanced as the stuff here, it's like: Look, Broken pipes, well we can patch that right up.


Here, Blown up bridge, ummmmm, which wire does this go again? ahhh shit.

Also, in space, things are a bit more difficult, but easier in other views. Still, that thing is pretty screwed up. Where are they going to get the parts to fix it anyways? their main facility is mostly for the Gundams, and that's just spare parts and so on, as we've seen, they didnt even have any replacement plates for Virtue, so what chances are there that they can still repair a ship?
