well but they didn't send mobile suits to virtue... just an empty transport-vessel

so they attacked the mothership with nearly everthing (except for these ~6 suits and that pink one). and they KNEW that it was their ship and they DON'T shoot at the gundam but on the heavily shielded ship. so this can only be a diversion but what is the point of not bringing any anti-ship weapons with them and do some serious damage. they intend to destroy that ship (the kamikaze-attack proves that) so...

i understand that part with diversion and they did good when they lured that fast gundam (i think its kyrios?) into the minefield and blocked him. but they could have done so much better i think.

and i m not sure of the effectivity of a minefield but why didn.t they surround kyrios and lay minefields on his escape route... this would also cut of reinforcements... + they do need 6 minutes to actually get there which should be plenty of time for so many units... i mean when they think they are able to capture kiryos with only 6 mobile suits, they also should be able to caputer him with even more suits who are protected by a minefield.

the only one who could intervene is Virtue but he can do that now too...

well i think next episode will answer some of my questions, i still like gundam very much so no problem :P

but i wish they would stop making these awfully made fighting sences where a gundam fires 3-4 beams into space which do obviously miss and the mobile suits around these beams do "dodge skillfully".... it looks so stupid it makes me vomit.

i m happy that the enemies are at least a little bit skilled and not like in seed or so where only the main characters and 2-3 other can pilot a gundam... the rest do control their suits like a 4 years old girl.

mobile suit 1: pew pew
mobile suit 2: pew pew
mobile suit 1: destoryed
mobile suit 2: pew pew

or even better

Gundam: pew pew *slice and dice*
mobile suit 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,.....20: *ahhhhhhh we are totally outmatched*

but in Gundam 00 it does at least LOOK like: skill > equipment and that's what makes this series worth watching and thats why i actually did like this episode a little bit :P (not very much but still worth watching!)
