What stopping this from being a thing now that we have drones? They're pretty much bits/funnels from gundam no?
>>65254655Sure, that's all it is. Go make one, stupid faggot.
>>65254655>They're pretty much bits/funnels from gundam no?No, and even in the show where they could fudge all of the science it took a fucking psychic like Amuro or Lalah to operate one of those systems in any meaningful way.
>>65254809AI circumvents that.
>>65255025>AI circumvents that.If AI circumvented that then it wouldn't have taken a fucking psychic like Amuro or Kamille to pilot a Gundam.
>>65254809Funels and bits, sure, but incoms could be operated by anyone.
>>65255060The Gundam had machine learning built into it.Thanks to Amuro's training data, oldtypes were able to pilot Gundams and other MS
>>65254809That's where the EXAM system comes in.>Oops, the MS went berserk
Drone swarms would make short work of it. Theres one space combat game that has ancient alien ships that wreck stuff and the reason for it is they use smart drone swarms that basically tunnel into ships and explode and no one can counter it.
>>65254655The fact that mechs are (militarily speaking) dumb as fuck.
>>65254655mechas weigh some 2000 tonnes at most, a BBs easily reach 50k
>>65255375Funnels aren't limited to humanoid forms. You can have Options in Gradius and similar.
>>65254655Physics and a small enough power source.
>>65254655You show me any modern drone that moves like a funnel does. Also where are you sourcing your particle beam weapons small enough to fit in something the size of a backpack.
The Gundam universe features miniature fusion reactors that can directly generate electricity thanks to a mysterious powder, and beam weapons that can be easily recharged by being mounted in magazines, which are essential elements, especially for funnel bit weapons.
>>65254655Jamming, the thing that made this very thing a useless piece of gimmick tech in its own series? It's worse than those people who were still trying to push tanks half a century into mobile suit warfare, like Psycho Gundam being scaled to replace warships only to negate all the advantages of being a Mobile Suit.
>>65254655Square cube law. Also, the humanoid shape makes no sense beyond battlesuit size. Any larger and four legged or more makes more sense.
>>65255917>mysterious powderIt's a gas, and there's nothing mysterious about He3. Minovsky-Ionesco reactors are just Muon catalyzed fusion reactors that exist on paper IRL because we don't currentl;y have a way to procure sufficient amounts of He3. The UC Gundamverse solved this issue first through lunar mining colonies, then by establishing the Jupiter Energy Fleet.
>>65255094And generally suck at it. Char lost to Amuro until the day he died at Amuro's hands.
>>65256515How are they cooling them?
>>65257534Fuck if I know, do I look like I work at Anaheim Electronics?
>>65257534
>>65254655Here's your mecha releasing bits
