I've no doubt she would focus on the 'To Do' box and ignore the 'Done' box.

I was pretty sure he was joking and I didn't mean to sound overly serious in my reply. But I don't know ME2 so ya, I totally missed the reference.

I'm pretty sure the original Sunrider is gone for good. Yes I fear this is true, but hope its not. But don't worry. In the next game, Kayto will be recruited by a Ceran supremacist terrorist organization led by a chain-smoking Prototype, which will bring Chigara back to life and present them with the Sunrider SR-2. I was with you until you said Prototype, I'm not sure I'd want to set foot on that ship....I have some major trust issues with a ship made by a group who's logic seems to revolve around killing everyone. How do we unite humanity against an enemy with far superior ships and weapons? Easy will start a massive war between the two major factions that will kill billions of people and decimate their military. Oh and that guy is most likely to manage to unite the major faction so we will take every opportunity to make sure he doesn't survive to fulfill any such potential....Ya, I'd fear any ship built by a prototype while being highly advanced and ultra powerful would also have a self destruct that Alpha could activate whenever she decided to bring her prototype spies home and see what they've learned. After that, they'll go find Sola, who's been busy sniping the criminal population of Ongess while operating as the masked vigilante known as Seraphim. Sola is on Tydaria guarding Shields and Ongess would still be under Alliance control. So really not sure how or why Sola would be sniping criminals...Now if it was Icari taking out criminals to make some money to pay for the mercenaries she will need to bust Kryska out of prison, that makes sense to me.

Sunrider MoA is the first VN I played, just happened to stumble across it on steam. I wasn't sure it would be something I liked but I was bored and it was free. I was soon hooked on the story and was buying Academy and LD when I finished MoA. Everlasting Summer is the only other VN I have played through. So I wouldn't say I've gotten hooked on VNs in general, just the Sunrider series.

I agree with MrNickUniverse, that Sunrider is in a good place with a lot of potential. Will Kryska be able to convince the alliance that Shields isn't an enemy, or will she need to be broken out of prison? Will Kryska be able to continue working as an alliance liaison with the Sunrider crew or will she resign her commission or will she not rejoin the crew at all? Will Ava and Asaga find something of value on the Ryuvian moon or will that be a dead end? With Crow showing up and starting to take over some neutral planets will the alliance and pact be able to stop warring with each other to deal with this new threat?
Lots of questions and a lot of engaging options to answer those questions.
As the Visual Novel is titled Sunrider I am hoping that the ship isn't going to be abandoned as destroyed beyond repair but rather some outcome like....After ramming the alliance flag ship, and the Alliance and Pact forces stop battling, Ceran forces will manage to salvage most of the Sunrider and fix it enough that they can warp it to Ryuvia, where Asaga and Ava have discovered that the artificial moon of Ryuvia is actually an advanced shipyard. Due to centuries of disuse and lack of maintenance it isn't capable of producing the advanced warships of old, but it can be used to repair the Sunrider....At least that is my guess on how we get the Sunrider back. I am sure there are many ways this could happen.

Your theory is an interesting read, and after giving it much thought it doesn't seem correct. In part because in Academy Chigara knew she was a clone and felt sorry for Lynn and Lynn only wanted to switch places with Chigara because Lynn was jealous of Chigara. In LD Lynn cannot hear Chigara in the mindstream, I am guessing because Alpha has mostly cut Chigara off from the mindstream so Chigara will not know she is a clone and act independently, more like a normal human. As such Lynn may know Chigara is a clone but she won't know what Chigara's life has been like, so Lynn won't be jealous or have any real reason for wanting to trade places with Chigara. Another thing that makes me think it is unlikely that Lynn and Chigara traded places is that (if I recall the events correctly) the riders were already deployed and in combat when Alice took over Fontana's fleet. This being the case Chigara would not have know before the battle started that she should trade places with Lynn to take advantage of Lynn's skill with the mindstream to defeat disrupt Alice's control over Fontana's fleet. The last thing that thing that makes me think they didn't trade places is the battle for the mindstream between Alice and Chigara. Chigara starts saying 'Captain' over and over then 'I'm coming for you' which I thought maybe the battle had broken Chigara and she was now a few fries short of a happy meal. Your post got me thinking about this though and the battle for the mindstream seems to me would be ultimately a battle of wills. Which got me thinking Chigara saying 'Captain' over and over wasn't her loosing her mind but rather focusing on what gave her strength and then the line 'I'm coming for you' isn't I want your blood, but rather a sign she's won the battle that she can take a new body and be with him again. I don't think Lynn would have that deep of a connection with Kayto and thus would not have had the strength of will necessary to defeat Alice in the mindstream.

I noticed they also put a couple nods to their VN Homeward. In Academy they have a picture of the three girls over his computer in his room, and in MoA the picture of his sister Maray looks like Riku's sister Sora. Maray has white hair instead of black but same hair style and same stuffed animal.

Yup, I'm commenting on and reviving an old thread, because I am just that bored today.
As this is an old thread I'm not using SPOILER TAGS so if you haven't played through Academy and LD and don't want anything that could possibly be SPOILERS stop reading.
That said, its been a while since played Academy, and I don't recall anything about Ava's mother being mentioned. I also have no recollection of Ava's mother mention in LD [RE]turn either. I had just guessed Ava's mother died when Ava was very young. In Academy Ava's father was usually gone, but when home he was abusive. In LD after telling Shields she didn't recall his promise that they be together commanding a ship, Ava goes back to here quarters and has some sort of hallucination that her father is beating her as she tries to convince him (and perhaps herself) she did the right thing by putting her personal feeling aside. From this I gathered that like in Academy Ava had grown up being abused by her father. If Ava's mother were alive I can't see her leaving Ava to be raised by her father especially since Ava's father was so rarely home.
As for how Ava's parents got together in the first place, I can only guess Ava's father wasn't always lacking empathy. Perhaps the death of his wife changed him or other life experiences changed him to lead him to believe treating his child, raising her to believe ones own personal feelings and desires were a waste of time, would better prepare her for her adult life.

I always found it peculiar that Cossete has English lines from MoA. If you do the route in LD that allows you to use her in the last LD mission, and you have your combat voice lines set to English, she's fully voiced. Well i have the theory she originally was going to be joining the sunrider crew, i always thought it was strange she had a similar jumpsuit like the other girls and even the number 7 on her chest Yeah, definitely a possibilty. Though the plugsuit itself is a suit designed to help counteract the g-forces that the pilots are subjected to during combat, the number 7, which coincided directly with the number of one of the bays in the Sunrider, does make it possible. That does bring up another question though. According to Ava, the Sunrider was built to house a total of 12 Ryders. So far, we've only seen a total of 7 possible applicants, maybe 8 if you were to count L7NN. Even with the Sunrider itself destroyed, it begs the question, who exactly were the other pilots supposed to be? Seeing as in the next installment, we've got Thrawn, Crow, the remmanants of the Alliance, as well as the Pirates, led by Cossete, to face, it wouldn't really surprise me if there were a few surprise guests who show up. I have never played Sunrider MoA through as a pirate. This has me wondering if she might join your crew if you were a pirate, or maybe Cossete would stick around at the end of LD after the the final battle instead of flying away the first chance she got. Hrmm seems I need hoist the colors and play through again. So I finally finished a run through MoA and LD having chosen pirate and it doesn't seem to have any real effect on the over all story arc, nor does Cossete show any loyalty or willingness to stay with the crew after the final battle.

Well the way I read the end, Icari and Krysaka are out of ammo unsure what to do next. The Pact ship sees the life pods, an officer asks if they should take prisoners which the captain replies he was told no prisoners. Before the captain orders the life pods destroyed another officer reports new riders incoming (enter Asaga and Sola). This part would be more clear if Asaga and/or Sola fired on the pact ship and destroyed it or damaged it badly enough for the pact captain to order the ship to fall back for repairs. Instead we are left to assume that two riders that have not run out of ammo is enough to scare the Pact captain away. Then we have Shield giving his 'It's been an honor to serve with you now I die protecting Cera' speech and destroys the Macaveili Actual leaving the Alliance fleet unsure what to do so they start to regroup. At seeing the Alliance regrouping, Pact also starts to regroup so they don't find their ships being picked off one at a time by groups of Alliance ships. While both fleets are regrouping the four rider pilots start gathering and tying together the life pods (yes there was more than one life pod...as usual the rest of the crew was talked about but not seen), Asaga takes off looking for Shields while the other three pilots grab the life pods and sneak away while the Pact and Alliance are regrouping and too busy to notice the crew of the Sunrider is getting away.
So ya, I'm going with option 3. they all lucked out and survived.
