I wouldn't characterize the Qubeley as "useless." :-)

Could you give me some examples? I can think of instances in Z Gundam
where newtypes perceive a sensation of "pressure" from each other, or sense
each others' proximity, but off the top of my head I can't recall any
instances of actual _conversation_ in which neither participant was using a
psycommu-equipped mobile suit or mobile armor.

Many, but not all. The Gengaozo's back engine unit and the Zanneck's
Zanneck Base are described as being psycommu-controlled. Presumably this
allows for faster & better control than regular Minovsky control.

Huh? F91 and V Gundam are both post-CCA, and both feature
psycommu-equipped mobile armors and/or mobile suits (you even get some
psycommu-equipped Zoloatts in V Gundam). Not to mention Angel Halo, the
biggest psycommu superweapon ever...
