How should a fleet be built to operate against threats in the Macross universe?
Short answerUse a layered, diverse defence that complicates attacks while urgently improving the fleet's technology base to catch up with stronger factions.
NotesThe proposal begins with the variety of opponents in Macross, including seeded factions, interdimensional beings, and powers associated with the Protoculture. Some opponents are remembered as far more powerful than the fleet being imagined. Interlocking defensive layers with different capabilities would make an attack harder to carry through. The fleet would then need to improve its technology base from that disadvantaged starting point. No exact ship mix or weapon package is specified.
