Anyone else just have an evil thought of making veratechs from robotech

Just turn mecha into airplanes and launch them from aircraft carriers.

It sounds awesome!

No, but we could probably make some really nice tail sitter VTOLs by making the cockpit rotate down so the pilot can actually land the damn things.

Also, swing-wings. Like. All the swing wings.

Here are some insperation links. Using the Anti UN desgins since most VFs in macross have a more western desgin lineage

SV-51α

The SV-51α is a Variable Fighter that appears in the Macross Zero OVA. It is the only variable fighter created and used by the Anti-U.N. Forces. A more advanced variant, the SV-52γ Oryol, was recreated by Magdalena Zielonaska and used during the Vanquish races in Macross The Ride. The SV-51α was...

Fast escalation, then even faster abrupt deescalation. Offense is the best defense. That principle can be employed in many things.
But most importantly, it is obvious that by allowing things to progress in a slow tempo we will allow the country with more power to take control of the situation, they have more resources and given time can concentrate them there. And that can be USA China England or even USSR though that last one is unlikely because their attention concentrated elsewhere at the moment, but china is our neighbor and America have a ship and people on the ground so they will be more interested, and British are bastards in their foreign policy and still sore after the loss of their colonial Empire.
And the thing many people don't understand properly is this is actually seems like Metal Gear timeline simulacrum. So everyone wants to be peaceful and live in prosperity, until Solid Snake crawl up their ases and kill like 10000 of your people. And everyone have their own special agent, including small factions that are following their own agenda.

In that case...

[X] Get a bunch of bulldozers and push that accursed ship back into the ocean!

But for real this time. It's so frankly absurd that they won't believe it's happening until it's already done.

It need not be exactly construction equipment, it can be repurposed heavy machinery. With some math, quick thinking and local add on engineering it's all becomes just a matter of logistics. Quick patch up jobe using wood or plastic will do the job of giving the thing ability to stay afloat, and then it's not our problem anymore.

Z: So... forcibly un-beach the ship?

You can do that, you have enough equipment to do so.

But we are talking about a beached aircraft carrier. The fact it didn't disintegrate once outside the water is a slight miracle on its own.

Nevermind pushing it back into the water intact.

Rolls a nat 100!

What just happened?

It disintegrated in the water!

How did that happen, did you put it into lava?

Maybe?:V
 
Z: I Re-iterate:

[X] Forcibly un-beach the ship as quickly as possible, while making sure it will still float.
We Just Write threw 1 100-faced dice. Reason: Do we have the luck? Total: 91

Non-Canon - GET OUT
  • Sidestory
    • GET OUT

    The engineering crew of the USS Iwo Jima was currently inspecting the truly catastrophic damage to the hull, when suddenly the ground started shaking beneath their feet. Captain Thompson immediately ordered "Everyone get back aboard immediately!" as the first glimpses of tracked vehicles could be seen through the foliage.

    For a moment, everyone thought it was tanks, but then they took a closer look and it was worse. Bulldozers, cranes, excavators, cement mixers, and all manner of heavy machinery had trundled out to the ship. Fortunately no wrecking balls, but that did absolutely nothing to reassure the men aboard.

    Staring down at the assembled crowd of workmen, workwomen, machinery and soldiers, Captain Thompson declared through a megaphone to the degenerate savages below "Come no closer, we will fight to the last man to protect our ship!"

    The response of "The Most Glorious Democratic People's Republic of Guangchou, Light of All Nations, Defender of Humanity, and Paradise on Earth doesn't want your ship!" came immediately in shockingly good english, whoever organized this whole debacle clearly having put at least some thought into it.

    Somewhat stunned, Captain Thompson couldn't help but ask "Then why are you here with all this equipment?"

    "You stand in violation of Guangchou's immigration, customs, and littering laws! As such we will be re-floating your ship and ejecting you from The Most Glorious Democratic People's Republic of Guangchou, Light of All Nations, Defender of Humanity, and Paradise on Earth before your perfidious government can use this as an excuse to start World War 3!"

    The foreman with the megaphone paused to take a breath "In summary, you will be made to leave immediately and take your ship with you! Now stand aside so we can jack it up and start patching all the holes in the hull!"

    XO Gerald shared a glance with Thompson, before the Captain relented. "Fine. But any of you step foot inside the ship without my explicit say so and we start shooting!"

    "That is perfectly acceptable!" and with that the repair crews descended.
