I personally for one think the quarians should first focus more on genetically getting the immune systems boosted. A fleet of some of the best salvager's, programmers, and ship mechanics in galaxy someone needs those kind of skills somewhere. Yeah you'll have to get you hands dirty and bloody but in the long term it will be easier to settle a new world if you can get immune system issue resolved first
It's an incredibly patient (and from Tali's arguments, frustratingly so) strategy for the quarians to take, but I don't see their quicker approaches doing them much good. Meeting Legion and learning about the true Geth gives way too much hope for the fans who do want to see Tali visit her homeworld, though. Bioware taking the easy way out, perhaps?
I never did like the easy way out.
I recently argued in the Campaign and Storyline forum that the complete crash of the quarian immune system was the fault of their dependence on the suits. I could see the suits being a precaution if the ship they were on had constant threat of hull breach or electronic failure. But I see the dangers of what overloading antibiotics in place of using one's own immune system does to humans. Fear of losing what few survivors they had probably hurt them more than risking their immune systems to harsher situations.
Anyway, what you get by settling on a new world is a chance to build but the threat of attack in a place like the Terminus Systems. What you get by continuing with the Migrant Fleet is a more static population, but a stronger defense.
