The only countries that don’t prioritize pilots are probably Japan and Russia.

You can rebuild the aircraft in the factory, but training pilots costs even more time and money.

But Jupiter is different!

In reality, pilots are said to be the most expensive part of a fighter jet.

The Zaku can be built in a few months, but…
Creating a pilot will take at least 15 years, to put it mildly.

It seems that it costs tens of millions for just one real American soldier, and it would be even more for a pilot.
Unlike industrial products, there are also individual qualities involved, and the duration of education cannot be overlooked.

Isn’t an AI pilot good enough? Is there no romance in it?

Even today, training pilots costs more than fighter jets.

Jupiter people, go home!

For now, let’s try picking up a kid around here…

It’s not that the person is costing money.
The cost spent on its education is unbelievably high.

There are no escape devices other than the MS for Operation V, but is this being treated with care?

Fighter jets usually cost at least several billion yen.

Most mass-produced mobile suits come with escape devices.
Evidence is the weakling of Super Robot Wars.
Damn it… I often say I’m going to escape!

At least I want an emergency seat ejection.

Isn’t it amazing that the minor enemies in Super Robot Wars can escape even after being hit by a Shining Spark or being in space with Moonlight Butterfly?

The act of getting in is probably as casual as getting into a car, let alone a fighter jet.

A machine can function as a machine right away, but when it comes to instilling everything from operation to tactics, coordination, and related knowledge, it takes a tremendous amount of money and time…

What the anonymous person is trying to say is that mobile suits clearly look more expensive than training those pilots.

Is it just fan speculation that in “Bodoms,” they create a lethal environment and keep rolling the death gacha to search for abnormal individuals?

First, what is the Universal Century?
A dream of a super-giant industrial civilization with high industrial power that has made practical use of nuclear fusion reactors, rapidly constructing mega-structures like space colonies and successfully developing resources in the asteroid belt.
I don’t think the cost of MS is likely higher than what we see with our current, lousy technology.

Indeed, this is exactly the MS of the side that lost due to this human absence…

In real warfare, it’s all remote-controlled or AI, so there’s no warmth.
I wonder if it turned into plastic…

Losing 12 people seems tougher than losing 12 Dom units, even though losing the units is painful.

How much does an actual fighter jet cost?
Is it impossible to buy a retired fighter jet as a hobby?

Time and experience cannot be shortened with money.
Even in modern times, it is so.

When I opened the thread, I was surprised by the claims in the post about it suddenly being related to the Jupiter Empire or Neo Zeon clone NT units.

Isn’t it a given that this world is based on the premise where humanoid robotic machines, which can be operated more easily than cars, are widely accessible?

Therefore, it’s a struggle between developing countries where children can be picked in the fields and developed countries.
It’s not worth it.

Create a replica that can compete with military aircraft, akin to the reality of kit bikes or DeAgostini.

As long as the mobile suit doesn’t get destroyed beyond repair, it can be fixed by replacing damaged parts, but it’s not the same for the pilot…

That world has a tremendous overproduction capability, with space colonies being produced in large quantities.
It’s as sturdy as those old battle ships like Salamis that have been reused for decades.

It seems that in space, collecting metal resources is much easier than on Earth, and with future processing technologies, costs are likely decreasing.
The costs in that area are difficult to compare with modern reality.

>>51I think it’s amazing technology, but the downside is that it sometimes kills you…

Well, it’s because they don’t have the skills, so they do the treatment haphazardly…

I think it’s not strange for humans to be more valuable if it’s a remote colony like Side 3.

It’s like we’re trialing whether humanity can reproduce and survive in space…
