Wow, quite a few replies here! Let me try to explain my theory in a different way and you can tell me if you guys agree with me or not? "Mech combat are not compatible with non-mech space combat." or rephrased: "Mechs fight with mechs and they can not exist in any of the non-mech universes because of their style of combat." Here is an exception to my theory: The Obsolese from the 8th MS Team could probably exist in a non-mech universe (ST, BG, Star Trek, etc.) but then again it is not a mech. I hope I have made it more clear now and if there is an anime which actually has a battle were the two "worlds" are fused, please tell me about it, I would love to watch such a thing!

There is an episode where a second battle star joins in under the command of some hot shot captian who has been constantly attacking the planet Gamore for the past several years. He engages two of Baltar's base ships in a two to one capital ship combat. > > and I am also positive that it came > > before SW (but that is irrelevant). > > Well, you're positively wrong on that note. > > Star Wars: Premiered May 1977 > > Battlestar Galactica: Premiered September 1978 Point well taken. Thanks for clearing this, for some reason I thought that BG came before.

		space/mecha combat theories... (was Re: Gasaraki 1, any good?)
In starfox, there is a level where you fly around in space and kill robot/mech things, I dunno if that's what you mean though. But I think (from a non-anime oriented perspective) that mecha could easily be pitted agains't spacecraft and have a (...)

(...) Sure they can co-exist, if the creator of the show wishes them to. :) Now, if you want TV show/movie examples, try Macross/Robotech, Nadesico, and Gundam. But since it is all fantasy anyway, anything a creator deems possible, is, well, (...) (23 years ago, 27-Aug-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha)

		Re: Gasaraki 1, any good?
(...) I don't see how this question is even debatable, because you're talking about fictional technologies, most of which disobey all current known laws of physics. You might be able to debate specific cases, but it's still extremely difficult to do (...) (23 years ago, 27-Aug-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha)
