Actually if the reapers had a mini mass relay in them what is the point of them using any relay themselves? If they did, it would be likely they wouldn't have much power left or would have a massive down time after using it.

No, but that was the first thing that came to my head.

I don't think they have "mini-relays" in each Reaper. Maybe something like that, but not something that can achieve galactic-jumps.

Didn't Vigil say that the Reapers had a Mass Relay in dark space?

I'm sure a lot of people agree with you.  That said, it isn't your trillions and trillions of dollars

Just take that mass accelerator weapon that killed one Reaper and make something similar, or further develop the Thanix Cannon, and we should be fine.



Can't the Alternative Appearance Pack 2 come out soon? I want a new suit for Tali. Something that isn't just in a different shade. Even if the loyalty outfit looks totally awesome on Tali, it isn't much of a difference.

Well, that's what I meant. Traveling among the galaxy, not travelling to other galaxies. 

Our nearest neighbor, Alpha Centauri, is 4.something lightyears away. That means that, travelling at lightspeed, it would take 4.something years to get there. 

To quote Darth Helmet: "Lightspeed's too slow!" 

*facepalm* Of course. How could I've been so stupid?

So, do you think we'll ever get off Earth and onto other planets? Other systems?

Well, it's certainly not impossible. 

Currently, there's no motivation to really do anything outside the Planet. Regardless of what your opinion on the movie, we'd need something similar to what happened in Avatar to occur.

Basically, if we found some super-rare and expensive element on Mars for example, that sold for exuberant amounts, you bet you're ass we'll be there mining it within a decade. 

Humans can do anything when properly motivated.

Plus, we could "build character" (see: Curb Stomp) in an alien species that is not as attractive as the quarians.  I love it!

Humanoid creatures seem entirely possible. Consider the fact that space is infinite. Something has to exist somewhere.

As for interplanatary travel, that would require science that we currently lack. It would be glorious to see in my lifetime, but I get the feeling I'll be coming up short.

My only solace is that someday my decendants will have sex with aliens.

I believe so too, but scientists aren't hopeful.

"Impossible" they say. <_<

it can be done!

So, mass effect is real?! If I remember correctly, didn't the Mass Relays basically do this?

Mass effect and Star Trek used the same concept, atm Nasa is working on a Plasma bubble to reduce the weight of their space suits.

"The Earth over-populating" seems like a big enough motivation to me.

We really don't know what side of the jump is doing more work.  Perhaps they needed to hit the Citadel (as a massive relay) because that would pull them in, because their mini-relays are kind of weak.

Speculation piled upon Speculation!

All relays connect to another relay.  The Citadel has to connect to a relay somewhere in dark space.  The reapers can't just teleport to it once its activated.

That's a mass-relay though. Not a mini-relay.

Besides, why would the Reapers need a IFF if they had mini-relays anyway?

Wasn't the purpose of the IFF to defend against anything that might come after them?

I personally think this would be a KICKASS alternate look for Tali.

No, no, no!  Not her original suit!  I never liked it, and seeing as other quarians use it now, I would rather see something new.  Plus, I believe, they played around with the size of some of Tali's *assets...* and I would hate to lose that.

the part i like most about that article

"The spacecraft will be the first to fly by Pluto, the planet or dwarf planet or plutoid, and on to the other objects lurking in the Kuiper Belt at the edge of the solar system."



maybe a relay!!!

The purpose of the IFF was so that people don't get up in their business.  They give civilization the basic relay pass.  They don't want them in the VIP section though.  The reaper IFF is only for the cool people like collectors
