Well, my Gundam experience only applies to The Movie, 0083, 0080 - so it
is
limited. But from those shows MS mostly fight each other - the capital
ships
serve mostly to launch Mobile Suits into combat. If a suit can get past
the
main line of defense (other MS) they rip into capital ships. There are
several instances of MSs destroying Frigates/DDs in fairly quick order.
    For the Caps - MS are best destroyed by large beam batteries and
sub-munitions.

I have heard that in certain parts of the world the black box can
actually
receive invisible waves which are used to display moving pictures.
Personally, I have not tried this out for several years - my box only
being
used for VHS/DVDs. I have cable only for the modem - and that is just
until
my local Bell gets off its fat ass and extends their ASDL line - I am a
fing
dang blast-it 150m from the farthest point they allow.
