OH. Also in Gundam, the reason ppl turn to close combat humanoid machines rather than infinitely precise, AI-guided long range missiles and cannons is because of the discovery and development of what is essentially a mist that disrupts these weapons, forcing spaceships to basically eyeball their shots.
Most large scale fights start out normal: big ships shooting lasers at each other until somebody decides to drop the mist into the entire battlefield and suddenly these lasers aren’t hitting anything and so they send out these humanoid robots to duke it out, WW2 style. But in Space.
