Been quite a while and since there's no GGreed2 in
sight...

--
    How do you know that Camille, Fa, Judo and the
rest of the Newtypes 
cannot do the same thing? They haven't had the chance
of trying it. Besides, 
I believe it's easier to "talk" to people you already
know instead of people 
you don't know...

(don't kill me for it Master Chiu...) They probably can (Camille sure as heck sees a lot of ghosts) but one fact definitely worth mentioning - all of those "powerful" NTs do their tricks with the presense of psycommu/bio-sensor (onboard their "hyper-mode" MS/MA) while "hyper-mode" MS/MA) while Amuro@OYW (e.g., in the RX-78 wreck) is doing his without one (unless MCoating got some unexplored potential or Amuro's "lucky" gun can actually double as psychoframe component as seen in CCA <- no wonder it's so darn accurate ;-) )

Just a personal comment...it's odd though, as it seems to me that GML is the only place where I got the notion of Amuro being a *weak* NT. I have a discussion with my Japanese "associate" and from him I think the general concensus over there is that Amuro being a fairly powerful NT (not as powerful as Camille or Hamaan for sure) with unparallel pilot skill/talent. Don't forget that in FirstGundam (or Tomino's OYW novel) there are several mentionings of Amuro being the same class as LaLa Sun (though those are just comments from the cast).

        I think the Nu uses it's funnels (or whatever)
to create an I-Field. 
I'm not too sure whether this can be considered a
traditional I-field 
generator -- didn't really go into that discussion the
last time it came 
around -- but noting that the funnels have to recharge
eventually, that 
particular I-Field wasn't too reliable either. 
--

I think it all came to the distinction between "beam barrier" and "I-field generator". While beam barrier (e.g., in the form of beam shield) can block both projectile (e.g., recall when Quess tried to "will" her funnels to penetrate the parameter of Nu's beam barrier?) and energy charge, I-field offers no protection to the former (Kou really should take better care of 03D's generator...Gato probably will miss if Kou "row" over his 03D...)

Oh well, beam barrier can collapse rather easily while I have yet to see an I-field collapse in the Gundam universe...

Just to add to the confusion...I'm not sure what defensive device is installed into defensive device is installed into QuinMatha@ZZ (something like that...) or (something like that...) or Ex-S@GunSent. (GundamWars3 makes it sounds like "pin-point barrier system" from Macross...)
