I guess I'm sold on Vogel's homecoming now. As long as another mission doesn't go critical, we should attempt the rescue mission of Lorelei's behalf. Everyone gundam protag needs the troubled but cute waifu after all.
Actually, I wonder if that's part of the reason blue wolf got so heated by Lorelei's faked death, it's that eternal cycle of rivals on opposite sides of the conflict having crushes on the same girl.
Critical doesn't actually symbolize a missions importance in terms of war effort, just that this is the last chance to take it before it bad ends. Regardless of what missions we pick, one will reach bad end at least next turn. It's actually better to pass on critical missions for high priority ones that can at least be relatively salvaged, or low priority ones where major issues and tragedies headed off.
@TheBleachDoctor I think this new system is misleading voters as to believing a given mission is a Higher Priority or More Critical to the war than other ones, rather than communicating that their time critical. I think you should scrap it for "Detrimental Resolution in X# of missions"
I don't think anyone else can win that fight. Riddhe just isn't capable enough to use his RX-0 well. Amuro... maybe, but it'd probably be a mutual kill.
Someone else can absolutely win that fight, especially Amuro. Amuro can take every member of team cascadia alone, without engaging a newtype aura, and the same is true of him facing every other Elite team Londo Bell has. Same with Banagher in the Unicorn or Judau in the Zeta. Someone will absolutely stop her, and Team Cascadia would just assist and accomplish bonus objectives.

imagine not wanting to save and befriend Rita
No guarantee we save her at this point, and how the hell you see Cybele befriending her after she killed millions, or her being allowed to go free and be in a position to befriend Cybele in the first place once the mission is over, is entirely beyond me.
Imagine Cybele become great friends and bonding with Lorelei to the point she risked the mission to save her from not burning up in the atmosphere and still passing on rescuing her family before the Federation has a chance to discover she's alive and go after them.
Imagine Bright Noa owing team Cascadia for saving his shitty son twice in the same mission and not repaying it by allowing them to rescue their newest members family before anything bad happens.
Edit: I did in fact vote in favor of taking Pheonix hunt last time in order to save and befriend Rita, but Hathaway won instead. At this point, I honestly don't think Saving Rita is on the table as a reward anymore and that even if it is, she's slaughtered a colony and Cybele isn't going to befriend her.
On the bright side, at least we Saved Hathaway(sarcasm), and did a lot that will benefit the eco terrorists efforts to force everyone off earth. (The writing was great but the gains are despair inducing. We didn't even prove McDaniels is a filthy fed supportor. Fuck that mission, worst ever.)
