Without a human influnce, i think they would want to remain full size. Who wants to alter themselves completely and making it so you are weaker. Though the food supply would be harder to maintain with out micronizing.

I could not find it in the new RPG, but i could have sworn i have read it. Maybe in the novels or in of of the old RPG books.
But i was thinking of was the combat drugs of the Zentraedi Warriors from the new macross book.

I'm not looking for irrevocable canon fact here, but I do want something more than "this feels right." While I may include non-canon items in my game, I do want them to mesh pretty well with the actual events of the show, comics, and movie.

Early in 2043, based on what we're shown and told in the Prelude limited comic series. The final scenes in the comic depict the events dated between 2nd and 18th July in 2044, with the SDF-3 setting off to test the neutron-s missiles on a dead planet and the mustering for the attack on Reflex Point on the 18th. The battle with Edwards preceded the offensive by only a short while, so "some time in early 2043" is the best we can date it to.MikelAmroni wrote:This game is essentially set at the same time as the final acts of the third war itself (2035-38), but I want some hard dates for the timeline in game.
You mean the "opening acts" of the war, right? The 3rd Robotech War didn't start in earnest until September 2038, around seven years into the Invid occupation, when the 1st Earth Reclamation Force (incl. Lancer's 10th Mars Div.) was wiped out in the [REF/UEEF]'s first attempt to oust the Invid. The 3rd Robotech War lasted about six years, from the first offensives on an unspecified date in September 2038 to the Battle of Reflex Point on 18 July 2044.Lt Gargoyle wrote:i think Commander Sterling (dana) flees eath in 39.

You're about eight years off... the exact date is unspecified, but the year given is 2031.

May 2031
The Third Robotech War begins as the Invid arrive on Earth in an event known afterwards as the Invid Invasion. Weakened in the final battles against the Robotech Masters and the subsequent mop up operations that followed the UEG forces on Earth are no match for the invading Invid Regis forces. Knowing that Earth is lost those ships with workable fold drives are ordered to escape the invasion taking with them as many civilian transports within their fold bubbles as they can. These ships eventfully rendezvous with the UEEF over Tirol. Civilians on Mars and other locations throughout the solar system are also evacuated.
Four of these Angel Class Colony ships full of civilians and what gear could be gathered escape from Earth to found the Four Corners colony in Far Sector 582 on Okizele IV.
2032
Kyane, a local weed on the Four Corners colony is found to not only be edible, but quite nutritious, if a bit salty. Food, Alcohol, and medical supplies are made from this fast growing plant. After a few mishaps, it's learned that Tirolians are deathly allergic to it, and those with zentraedi heritage tend to get gas from it. Karbarrans are reported to love the grain and all of its associated products.

Do we have any kind of idea how long it was supposed to take for the Sentinels and Hunter & Crew to actually complete the freeing of the Sentinels Worlds? It makes a difference as to how long any Sentinels aliens can be in the UEEF.
After decades of struggle, this Pioneer Expedition...would reach an uneasy peace at...Tirol, leaving only the threat of the mysterious Invid race.
