Actually, yes. =)
One question, Sherwood. I always thought mecha (like modern day tanks and fighter jets) had air conditioning? How do they operate in space without it?

Yes, your mecha are completely climate controlled. The comments about the great are more for flavor out of your mecha than anything else.

So... now our characters should tease Connor for having a busted A/C unit all this time? *rubs hands together* =)

Oooo, the salt is real with the notification system right now. Stupid thing wasn't giving me any alerts even though I posted here.

Sorry 
Check the settings again? Sometimes the default is for email notifs instead of on-site alerts.

Hmmm. This is odd. I can't find the post with Barbara's write-up anywhere. I'll repost her in the Character's thread now.
EDIT Nevermind. I found her. But, I will still give her a individual thread so I don't lose her again.

@Beowulf, do you want me to re-post Connor for you in the Characters thread in his own thread? I can clean it up for you to make it easier to read than the mess it is in right now. Or, you can set him up in his own thread if you'd like.

Please re-post him for me. I wish I could give you some candy for doing it, because from what I've seen it's a mess.

No need for candy. I am happy to do it.

Whoa! Wait, isn't that the Daedelus? You mean, it survived? Mind, I've never seen the American Robotech cartoon series (only the Japanese-made The Super-Dimension Fortress Macross; Do You Remember Love?" movie) so I never saw the destruction of the SDF-1. What's the story behind this ship here, Sherwood? Please tell! =)

The Daedelus is just one of many ships of that class, along with the Prometheus is just one of many supercarriers that patrol the world's oceans. So, while the famous ships attached to the SDF-1 are gone, their legacy lives on.

SLV BEACHMASTER CLASS VESSEL (DAEDALUS II)
The SLV class warship is an ingenious innovation on the original Daedalus
"supercarrier" design. Modifications have transformed a conventional giant
carrier into a massive beach landing assault vessel which is capable of
prolonged deep ocean submersion. Redesigned to fully accommodate Destroids,
as well as conventional aircraft, vehicles and troops, the SLV class
warship packs more firepower and versitility of attack than any other ship
in the world, with the exception of the CVS aircraft carrier. Its unique
submersible design would make it difficult to locate and track, enabling it
and its sister warship (CVS class aircraft carrier) to travel the world's oceans
freely. Tactically, the vessels would serve to link the continents with superior
military defenses. Their submersible design would also make it possible to
launch a retaliatory strike against an enemy, even after the main defense
forces have been incapacitated.
Rescue and defense has always been the purpose of these mighty giants.
When the SLV Beachmaster class vessel and CVS aircraft carrier class
vessel are combined, they create an aerial and land assault force of incredible
magnitude. The combined mecha from just two of these vessels can shred
an army with conventional weapons and technology to pieces, with an
estimated 20% casualties among the RDF troops. It has been speculated
that three SLV and CVS class warships, with full complements of combat
mecha, could destroy the entire, 1987, U.S.A. fleet, while sustaining an
acceptable 60% loss.
A submersible vessel, the giant SLV Beachmasters have full life support
systems and can remain submerged for over two years, if necessary. Its
design makes it more suitable to an ocean environment, allowing it to
achieve a safe depth of 2.2 miles. It is believed the vessel can survive up
to 3 miles deep, while suffering minimal structural damage. However, tests
have never exceeded 2.6 miles. (G.M. Note: The vessel will begin to feel
a serious strain at 2.8 miles deep, and begin to severely rupture at about
3.4 miles).
Japanimation Side Notes: 1) Our translations indicate that both the
Daedalus and Prometheus were giant submersible vessels. The Prometheus
is referred to as a "semi-submarine aircraft carrier". The submersible aspect
of the vessels is never shown in the T.V. series and has been deleted from
the English language ROBOTECH™. 2) It is implied that both giant ships
were specifically designed as part of Earth's defense (RDF?) against alien
invaders. 3) Appears to have been purposely designed to accommodate
Mecha.

Crew: 160 officers, 2800 ship's crew (including mechanics and operations),

The CVS class warship is a triumph of Earth technology and technology
gleaned from the wreckage of the alien spacecraft, the SDF-1. This
marvel of design coupled with its sister vessel, the SLV Beachmaster
class vessel (also submersible), comprise the RDF's tactical fleet. Although
limited to about a half dozen of each of the two types of warships,
one pair of these vessels is easily equal to one entire fleet of conventional
fighting ships.
The CVS aircraft carrier is the single most lethal vessel sailing the
world's waters. Rimming the entire length of the flight deck is a battery
of long range (8 miles), reflex, laser turrets almost identical to those
of the Raidar X. The reflex system enables these unmanned lasers to
identify, track and engage up to 20 targets each. Above the laser turrets
is the Falcon Sprint Missile System. This long range, anti-aircraft system
can be manually operated or set on independent, reflex response.
Staggered between the missile/laser turrets is the Short Range Falcon
missile system in its classic, revolving, launch canister.
In addition to these somewhat more conventional weapons is a complement
of Veritech Fighters, Destroids and other assault vehicles.
The world's largest sea vessel, (1679.8 feet long 512 meters), the
CVS class carrier is further distinguished as being the largest submersible
vessel in the world. The unique submersible aspect of the CVS class
carrier is the combination of state of the art technology with the new,
alien technology unearthed from the SDF-1. Unlike the RDF's mecha,
which are powered by the organic fusion of protoculture, the giant
warship is nuclear, with a service life of about 25 years between refueling.
Being a submersible vessel, the CVS class ships has a completely
self-contained and self-sufficient, internal, life support system. A system
so excellent that it can remain underwater for up to 14 months without
the slightest risk to the crew. Only the SLV Beachmaster class vessel
(Daedalus II) is more adept in the ocean's waters, able to remain submerged
for over two years at greater depths. Like the Daedalus style
Beachmaster, The CVS aircraft carrier is inspired by the original designs
of the Prometheus supercarrier which has become part of the SDF-1
legend.
As a submersible type warship, the CVS class vessel is somewhat
limited by its classic, aircraft carrier design. Potential structural weaknesses
restrict it to a safe depth of one mile, however, it is believed
that it can survive and function, at close to 100% efficiency, at up to
1.5 miles. Greater depths will result in ruptures of the outer and inner
hull, ultimately ending with massive flooding and sinking of the vessel.
Once perceived to be the Unified Earth Government's new defense
fleet, the production of CVS and SLV class vessels has been, at least
temporarily, suspended. This is the result of the crumbling of the Unified
Earth Government into independent states, and the emphasis of limited
production facilities on the "new" Army of the Southern Corss.

*Depleting the MDC of a flight deck means that the area is
so torn up that it can not be used for the take-off and landing
of conventional aircraft (including VTOL), helicopters or Veritechs
in jet mode. Only Veritechs in Guardian or Battloid
mode will be able to use the flight deck. Even Destroids, and
Veritechs in Guardian or Battloid mode, will have difficulty
maneuvering among the torn metal walls, fragments and holes,
in a deck which has had its M.D.C. nearly (75%) or completely,
depleted. Land vehicles will find it impossible to
traverse.
**Depleting the M.D.C. of the observation/communications
tower means the tower has been destroyed along with the
ship's central radar system. An alternative radar system can
be established by linking with Raidar X or Cats-Eye Recon.
Of course, alternatives are generally less comprehensive and
more vulnerable to attack.

These write-ups are from the 1e book "RDF Manual" so there are a few minor tweaks that will be done between 1e and 2e. IN the 2e Macross era book, it writes up the two ships that make the arms of the SDF-1 as individual vessels. I can see if I can copy it over to show you the difference between them.

Yep. And I should go to sleep. I meant to say "But it works as one" in my last post. God I'm tired. Guten nacht as the Germans say.
