True that. Besides, I've given it some actual thought, and really, what the hell would it even GAIN from UF-overtech? Metaspace capability, if anything. The design of the ship doesn't lend itself easily to any known Class-Omega weapon. Nothing besides this thing's Linear Antimatter Cannon or whatever the thing would be called (other than stupid) actually requires a real barrel, never mind an 800m long one!

One could replace the barrel and antimatter tanks with a massive reflex furnace system, but that'd probably be just as useless and dangerous (although using such a thing as a base for the New Macross Class' gun-ship might be an interesting option).

A Getter based system would probably be exceedingly powerful, and would also likely become self aware and start eating people and then we'd have a real Doomsday Machine on the loose (Canonically, this is what Getter Energy actually DOES. It's not a very friendly kind of sentient cosmic energy).

And even if a practical power source was found, what would be the damned purpose of the thing? There's no Borg here (yet) and even if there were, the WDF has more than enough firepower to deal with them. The only use I can see for it is punching Akio in the face with GRATUITOUS AMOUNTS OF ENERGY (This post contains far too many comments in parentheses).
