I actually haven't gotten around to watching Delta (part of my current delay of consuming media in the wake of Destiny - I've gotten out of synch with Steven Universe and Rebels as well and need to catch up). I didn't know about the VF-1 upgrade, but that's nice to know.

I imagine overall flight tech is going to keep things where they are at the end of RS:CFSFTD issue 5 (mid 2410), with the VF-1 dash 80 maintaining its supremacy and Macross Plus/Seven era mechs serving niche and background roles. Other space nations may end up with the alternate "aggressor" mecha designs as competitors/deterrents to the ZC/WDF-backed Valkyries in the arena of variable-configuration mecha but never manage to quite get past the VF-1's dominance.

Note that the characters from Macross Frontier are around, if you're willing to look -- they're just flying more standardized equipment.
