Welcome to Gaia! ::

Don't say that! People will post! Actually I have a question. If Sank is Scandinavia, shouldn't it be cold and stuff?

I think the Federation didn't do Ace colors because it was one of those war propaganda things; "If the enemy does it, it must be evil!" and such.

UC beam sabers work different from other universes; in the UC, it's actually plasma encased in an I-Field, rather than a magnetic field. As for the specificl question, well, all of Gundam tends to bend physics to suit the series' dramatic needs. Yeah, it probably should have cooked Ral, but then where's the fun? Just like how Treize pilots a Leo that gets hit by hundreds of bullets and doesn't take a scratch.

Une: Global warming? I'm not quite sure. The in-series stuff features a totally different location for the Kingdom than the official media. Notice, please...

EDIT: In both pictures, the yellow is supposed to be New Port City, the capital. And no, I have no idea on Earth where it's supposed to be in-series...

In-series:


ACE (licensed video game):

I wouldn't say that they "didn't do it," only that it didn't really catch on. Off the top of my head, I can think of Lieutenant Commander Lydo "Dancing Black Death" Wolf and the White Dingo Team having custom color schemes. I don't think the lack of custom schemes among the Earth Federation has so much to do with the Earth Federation Forces frowning upon the practice as it does with the fact that they had so few aces to bestow these colors on when compared with the Principality of Zeon. Most Earth Federation pilots didn't even touch a Mobile Suit until late November - early December, 0079. Lydo Wolf, for one is a big exception to the rule. He was a crack fighter pilot, and scored over 21 victories in one week when he switched over to a RGC-80 GM Cannon.

It's true that the majority of the Earth Federation Forces' named Mobile Suit aces don't have custom schemes, I will hand you that point, but that doesn't mean there weren't any who did have their own colors.

What seems like a more common practice among the Earth Federation is to color their Mobile Suits differently according to theatre, such as the periwinkle/gray color scheme of the RGC-80 GM Cannons in North America and the light-brown/tan color scheme of the RGC-80 GM Cannons in North Africa.


Technically, the Beam Saber and the Heat Saber just glanced off of Ramba Ral's and Amuro Ray's cockpits (respectively), leaving only their hatches damaged. I can't imagine the odds of that, so it works more as a plot device than anything else, like you said.


That almost looks like the Aegean Sea to me... though the two do have some very notable differences. Then again, considering how drastically coastlines could change over time (especially considering such factors as global warming)...

I thought it was the Aegean as well and even used a Mediterranean locale for a major fanfic before finding out I was wrong crying That screen shot totally had me going for a long time!

I thought sanq was ittaly since at lot of its archetecture dates from italy in the 1800's if its scandanavia it wouldn't always be cold becacuse of the gulf current and the thurmal energy of the area in tht region of the world. It wouldn't be cold at all. It would be more like San fancisco.

Ah, you see, that's the thing. MS in the After Colony run on compact fusion reactors - but that only provides the electricity for the computers, motors, etc. The vernier thrusters still need propellant. They're an entirely different component.

I was always under the impression that 'Sank' was actually French (hence the location of the ocean waters) and was originally spelled "Cinq" which is French, and prounounced "Sank" (soft 'c', French 'i', hard 'q').
