Clarification is required. Example?

"I'm looking for my father you bosh'tet!"

"Dammit Shepard, I trusted you! I hope whatever you get from Veetor is worth it..."

"Dammit Shepard, I worked with a geth on the team, but this is too much" *points gun at Legion. Shoots ceiling if you choose Legion.*

*quarian pounce*

Just saying. Tali can be a little volatile at times.

I think those are all within her reasonable rights.

Not saying she wasn't.

But she isn't the best example of self control either.

sports!!!... do quarians have sports?

They probably had some form of sport entertainment on Rannoch.  Doubtful that they are able to continue that on the flotilla though.

 Damn, I got way off topic. 

Well, maybe I can correct that a bit. It's one of the main reasons it makes sense for quarians to just grow vegetation on their ships and not animals--it's 10x more efficient for them to grow veggies instead of meat! 

I always assumed it was because maintaining livestock wasted plant life that could feed more quarians.

Well, that's just another way of saying what I said. 

Each time energy gets transferred, only like 1/10 makes it through. The rest is lost to entropy. So yeah, livestock would be a big waste. For every 1 quarian that could be sustained via meat, 10 could've been sustained via vegetation.

Population control? Just do like the quarians. One kid per family and send the rest to a colony on Mars. Well, not exactly like the quarians, but we don't have a space fleet. Yet.

The Chinese tried to do that, and they have over 1.5 billion people now.

What's worse is that 80% of them are male.

That's for a number of reasons.

First, population growth is dependent on the ratio of birthrate vs. deathrate rather than simply birthrate. The Chinese population has continued to grow because people are living longer. Eventually, they'll die off, but if the deathrate shrinks as fast or faster than the birthrate, it won't stop growth, even if the birthrate is dropping.

Secondly, population laws are incredibely difficult to enforce and, in China's case, often cross into human rights violations.

Thirdly, the male thing is more about sex relations in China and selective infanticide by sex than anything else. True, it would have been much less prevalent without the one child rule, but that's just a contributing factor, not the sole cause.

Lastly, China's population would have been a lot larger today if they hadn't implemented the policy. Population growth has fallen since 1960 by more than five factors (it peaked around 3% and is now at 0.5% roughly). India, which doesn't have such a policy, is growing much, much faster and will likely surpass India in the forseeable future.

Ultimately, population laws are a nightmare for any government that are only about as effective as your control over civilian life. In the US, they'd be completely effective. In China they are semi-effective. In the quarian fleet, I'd imagine results would be similar (if less sexist) as in China, given the amount of control the Admiralty and Conclave are implied to have over daily life. There'd probably be some exceptions, but I imagine second or third children would be looked down upon as an uneccessary burden on the fleet.

Not sure how many radical alterations you can make there, but okay.

What it says about their ears is very ambiguous

"...for what passed as the quarian equivalent of ears" (not verbatim, but very close)

Basically, they got something there to hear with, but we don't know what.

Things we know for a fact that quarian faces have:

• Basic human-face shape and structure
• Two eyes
• One nose, with two nostrils (placeholder)
• Tear-ducts
• Eye-lids
• Teeth
• Lips

Mass Effect Ascension FTW...

Although, I've never seen a quarian fully close their eyes.

I believe the quote is something like "what passes for ears for quarians."  So they have some kind of ear.  Asari or elf or somewhere in between, who knows.
