If you've ever seen a railgun fired, you'll know that it's visible. Boy oh boy is that trail visible.

Let's not pretend the games ever were consistent with the lore to begin with. Nothing breaks the lore more than the space battle at the end of ME1. It was absolutely nothing like the codex said space battles would be.

Besides, the lore is full of ridiculous nonsense anyway: positive electrical currents, black holes suddendly swallowing solar systems, visible asteroid fiels etc.

Nope.....You just changing your own mass and  moving it across the field.....The vanguard charge is just a mass effect.....

Phasing through objects is not something mass effect fields can make you do.

BIotic Charge doesn not make you phase through objects. I see it as you are being propelled over stuff. There have been plenty of instances where I couldn't Charge because there is stuff in front of me like pillars and such; but not just waist-high cover.

What do you think your ship does when you use the mass relay and crosses an object?

When did a black hole swallow a star system in Mass Effect?

Your belief that there can never be a positive electrical current is wrong, btw.

Yes we get it when playing the game gameplay comes first. But this isn't just a lore issue it is a gameplay issue as well. One that wasn't in ME1 and one that didn't need to be in ME2 nor does it need to be in ME3. Tracers/trails they more or less accomplish the same purpose only one does not fit with hitscan weapons which is what just about every weapon you use in ME1/2 is. I have yet to see a reason why it would be bad for lore/gameplay or anything for that matter to change it back to just trails, and drop the tracers all together.

The third paragaph from Retribution: "The star was in the last stages of its six-billion-year life span. As the grand final act culminating its existence, it would collapse in upon itself, creating a black hole to swallow the entire system. The planets and moons it had spawned in its birth would be devoured in the inescapable gravitational pull of the dark, gaping maw left behind by its death."

Codex about eezo: "Element Zero (Atomic Number 0, Chemical Symbol Ez), also known as 'eezo', is a rare material that, when subjected to an electrical current, releases dark energy which can be manipulated into a mass effect field, raising or lowering the mass of all objects within that field. A positive current increases mass, a negative current decreases it." Current has direction, not a charge. Please tell me if I'm wrong, I'm not infallible.

That's something completely different, because Shepard isn't a mass relay.

What makes you think it's exclusive to just relays?

Personally, I think in ME1 one that was just a "lore" fix to cover up the fact that they couldn't code the traces of shots from weapons.
