I had to replace loading screens with empty video because they are much longer than actual loading. Hurrr.

There are DLCs to give your characters different colored outfits, but why are there no DLCs to allow us to give the Normandy a new paint job? I'm always worried that the Citadel is going to shoot me out of the sky since, as the Asari counselor pointed out, joining Cerberus is a "capital offense." Never mind why they even let me dock in the first place.

I've got a new one! Yes, this thread is a month old but hey, it's got a uniquely self-aware topic and it was started by an interesting and intelligent person.

In the Arrival DLC Admiral Hackett implies Shepard will be brought to trial by the Systems Alliance to answer for a number of charges, but at no point is it acknowledged that Shepard - well, mine in particular and others who fall under the same conditions - is legally a Spectre and answerable only to the Council. The Alliance does not have jurisdiction to detain, charge, or prosecute Shepard if he/she is a Council Spectre.

I have one too.

In ME:1 When the Mako uses the Conduit (which is a smaller version of a Mass Relay) the Mako ends up inside of the Citadel.  Mass Relays are not teleports or Stargates damnit! They are basically just big catapults, so if you catapulted the Mako at the Citadel why didn't it go splat when it hit the outside of the Citadel on the way to the receiving Relay?

I wasn't aware that drift could allow for teleportation through solid matter.  For some silly reason I thought that drift in this case would simply mean a chance of missing the Citadel completely.
 
Did they change the Relays into Stargates while I wasn't looking?

WOW! Never thought of that so true!!! Especially after Bioware was so careful in creating science behind the Mass Effect lore. This deserves its own thread!

I'm debating it, but I placed it in this thread because while its definately a plothole, its also an extremely minor one, but if you want to use it feel free and I'll back you up.


P.S. Cheers James.

The Mass relays create corridors of  mass free space.I'm not entirely sure how it would work but i doubt they effect solid matter not travelling through the corridor.But if the Mako has no mass it can't hit anything.

I'm confused, i'm not sure i'm answering your question or strengthening it.

Strengthening it, I'm afraid. lol

Hell, as I said its a minor thing, but its still a valid one.

For some reason the Conduit Relay suddenly seems to be acting like a Stargate.  The Mako's (and its passengers) mass is reduced to as close as zero as it can get, but even at that point it still can't pass through solid matter. Thats just teleportion.  Btw, I thought that you described that rather well!  It is indeed a corridor of mass free space, not a Wormhole, so big thumbs up from me!

Relays used to be called "Phase Gates" in development.

Nice catch! To quote Aria T'loak: 'Can someone tell me how this managed to slip the net?'

there should be more black people and asians in ME3 since you're going to earth and all

Maybe when objects have no mass at all and are travelling at superluminal speeds, they do not interact with normal, massive matter? That would explain why there is no concern about FOD or lines of sight while travelling by relay.

I thought about this, but consider this:  How much mass does Light have?  Does light bounce off objects when it hits them?

As for the Line of sight thing, I took it as read that the Relays communicate with each other so that they can set the trajectory.

you maintain momentum as you move thru the relay. which is why you flew out of the relay and crashed

Not my point.  My point is how did the Mako get to the receiving relay which was inside the Citadel.

*Edit* Also you don't move through the Relays, they ain't Stargates.

Well, what reason do they give for not bouncing into FOD?

I reason it as this:  The Sending Mass Relay sends to the Recieving Relay and if there's anytthing in the path then it corrects slightly, which would explain the 'drift', its caused by the Relay diverting you around FOD's.

Of course it could simply send a pulse ahead of the ship that knocks anything out of the way.
Thats my theory anyway.

It's all good I was just wondering if it was explained.

[Akizora]

When walking around the world and listening to various conversations, newsbroadcasts or companions commenting on vistas they would be overridden completely by another conversation should one appear. It was annoying cause I had to stop and stand 100% still without even moving my characters perspective in order to stand a chance to listen to the full dialogue.

No problem, I try where possible to be civil with people (with one or two exceptions, but we both know who they are and they've earned it) lol

A slight alteration in the trajectory to avoid FOD would go a long way to explain the differences in drift though, wouldn't it?
