Wrex: The clans are ready to fight, but we need ships!

Shepard: I think I know just what we need...


The hours approaching, just give it your best
You've got to reach your prime.
That's when you need to put yourself to the test,
And show us a passage of time,
We're gonna need a montage (montage)
Oh it takes a montage (montage)

DVDA!  I love it!

Every day show a little improvement, for to show it all it would take to looong. You're gunna need a montaaaage. Fleet building montaaaage.

Even Rocky had a montaaaaage.

I'm sure the Fleet can take out a Reaper... probably a few Reapers really. They have so many ships, and Reapers don't seem to have any kind of area of attack.

But, even fighting a single Reaper would cause immense loss of life among the Quarians. 

Quarians really shouldn't be fighting the reapers personally anyway.  I love them and all, but they suck as warriors.  I can see them working out just fine building and repairing ships that, say, krogans could use to reak havoc.  We're going to need engineers, and there are more than enough of other races to fight.

On this topic, did any Renegade characters hear the Citadel News story on how the Asari had seceded all of their Fleet-patrols to the Turians because the humans get to have the most ships after the Citadel attack?

Civil War as a major threat approaches?  Sounds like Dragon Age.

I wouldn't exactly consider letting the council die a particularly renegade move.  More like, not super paragon, but that's a different conversation

I do forsee problems with the council races in ME3 though.  The asari seem more than willing to become the turian's pets, and Shep is likely to be completely ignored by them, while others like the geth and krogan will follow him.  I could even see up to a civil war between the council races and Shep's group of species.  If they truly don't believe the reaper threat, the only reason for Shep building that team would be a coup.

I concur.  Plus, it would give Tali hell if the quarians sided with the council races, having to choose between Shepard or her people.

Russia is kind of the worst possible comparison for the quarians.  They have 17 million people, compared to 10 billion humans.  Let the humans send wave after wave.  The quarians can't afford those kind of losses.  Just because the ships are quarian, doesn't mean quarians have to be the ones using them.  Its a team effort after all.

Its all relative.  Sure, the humans have a bunch more people, but doesn't matter.  If the quarians have 150,000 ships or whatever, I doubt the Reapers would have that many or more, and thus quarians could do... quarian-wave tactics.

Personally, though, I figure you just park the migrant fleet in the Haestrom system, wait to the Reapers arrive, and then jump to another system as you destabilize the star.  I mean, they never really explained why Tali was researching the star in her loyalty mission.

I believe the number is 51,000.  I could be wrong, but its close to that.  Certainly not 150,000.  We also don't know how well equipped those ships are.  I've made this comparison before, compare it to you and a group of friends driving around in cars with BB guns.  You could have 20 cars, but one tank is still going to kill you all.  Quality means something, and if 100 council race dreadnoughts match 20,000 quarian ships, what's the point of massive loss of life for the quarians?

And it would be really nice for your plan if the reapers attacked all at once, from one specific direction, and the ability to blow up stars becomes a reality in the months between ME2 and ME3.  I see that as a little unlikely though.

Uh, the asari don't even have a formal military, do they?  I thought equipping and training soldiers and the like was left up to the individual city-states (and now planets, I guess).

From what I saw in ME2, the Justicars is their only real "military" system aside from the eclipse, but I htink the eclipse is more of an Illium driven thing.

Asari: We don't have an army because we are too civilized.
Salarians: We don't have an army beacause we are sneaky ninjas.

Humans: We attach Nuclear Weapons to our Space probes, just for kicks.

I could've sworn I heard about a number for asari dreadnoughts.  I want to say 20 or so, but I could be wrong.  If they have those, they probably have some kind of formal military as well.

Thanks for the reference Sergio 

Tell me JeanLuc, is this a hobby or a profession for you? 3D Animation and the like.

Currently a hobby, soon to go to college and become a profession.

Looking to get into game design, but I do have fun in my free time screwing around like this.  

HELL YES.

I want to go into game design as an artist.

I wish you the best of luck.

Yeah, saying Eclipse is the asari military is like saying the Mafia is the Italian military.

Quarians won't side with the council.  They've done nothing but screw them over for centuries. 

And once I've gotten them back on the homeworld, they'll be building statues of me and Tali

[Alphyn]

No, seriously guys. What are we gonna do? I mean, a bunch of big squid-robot-things are coming to wipe out all life, and apparently, we've pissed them off too.



So... yeah, battle plan?

Apparently, from the Codex entries, the weaponry is advanced enough to deter pirates from attacking Quarian ships.

Quarians are technical geniuses. All their weaponry is probably out-of-date, but hand-improved. For example, you can build a homeade flamethrower from a water gun, a match, and some gasoline. Lethality improved by 1000x.

Tali says that Haestrom's star is starting to become unstable, for reasons she can't explain, but that something is definately causing it.  Foreshadowing...

And I figure the Geth must have a Death Star parked behind the Veil.

Anyway, I know how to take out the Reapers. Much like Lord of the Rings, you can solve the entire problem with a catapult.

See, a Dreadnaught's main gun slug hits for like 30K kilotons. That sounds pretty impressive, until you consider the fact that we have nukes today that literally have 1000x more explosive yield than that.

So, what we do is get all of Earths' nukes (we got tens of thousands of them right now!), along with the nukes of the other advanced races, load them all unto a big ol' catapult--a huge catapult--and launch them towards the Reapers.
