I'd rather mass the Quarians with Turians in a giant attack fleet. Then send the Krogan and Asari in to clean up the husks.

If you read the codex entries, the Citadel races don't have enough ships for a space battle with the Reapers.
And the Quarians aren't going to even the balance. Sure, they may have the single biggest fleet, but the Reapers are more advanced and they outnumber us greatly. At least judging by the end game cinematic in ME2.

Also, Thanix cannons are not guaranteed to be of any use against the Reapers. The were a match for the Collecter vessel, but that is not a Reaper.

Strap some explosives to those space vagrants and shove them kamikaze style at the reapers.

Reaper problem? Solved.
Quarian problem? Solved.

The galaxy can thank me later.

Could work. They have the largest fleet.

Some ships are in a bad condition... but considering how "popular" the quarians are, if their ships were really that bad, someone would have taken them down before the reapers. Even if only 10% of their fleet is fit to fight, that's several thousand ships... I wouldn't be surprised if the Quarians turn out to be much more powerful than some seem to think.

Some Quarian admiral said if the fleet were to fight the Reapers, the noncombatants need a planet to stay on. The war against the Geth is probably a huge thing in ME3. So that problem is quickly solved.

And several thousand ships with firepower is incredibly helpful. At the very least they can soak up damage. A few thousand ships can soak up a good amount of damage wouldn't you say?

I think that you are greatly underestimating the military strength of the Quarian fleet. You don't survive for 300 years in deep space, deprived of resources, and of back up as the galaxy's pariah without becoming hard. They are essentially the Spartans in Mass Effect. They have to maintain and defend the only thing that stands between them and death, and that is their fleet. That tells me that they have gotten good at it and even Shepard says that the Quarians are formidable.

Wasting that fleet by intentionally feeding them to the reapers is insane. First, the Quarians would never go for it. Secondly, it squanders offensive capability and returns nothing but scrap metal leaving the remaining forces weakened. There is only one way we are ever going to retake the Earth and defeat the Reapers and that is an all out commitment by our combined forces in simultaneous assault.

What that means is that we are all going to get bled, every single one of us. By attacking the Reaper fleet en masse we will be using an area of denial strategy. Fire should be so concentrated that the Reapers will have no choice but to retreat to a better position or be destroyed where they sit.

If we can combine the fleets of the Quarians, Turians, Asari, Salarians, Rachni (maybe), Geth, and Terminus Systems, I believe that such a plan could produce the kind of firepower that will be needed to dislodge the Reapers. The maneuver will begin as the Reapers attempt to find more tenable positions to counter-attack.

If the combined fleet comes out of FTL right above Earth and immediately attacks with everything we have, then the element of surprise goes to us with our main objective being to not lose the initiative. Everything will depend on keeping the Reapers off balance and on the defensive. The longer we can do that, the better are our chances for victory.

I think suggesting the Quarians are the 'spartans' of the mass effect universe is going to far, their ships arent attacked because they travel in a large fleet, not because everyone thinks the Quarians are as hard as nails.  And when did I say that we simply send the Quarian ships to die?  Get those ships to FTL into reaper vessels and I bet you that we would at the very least take down their sheilds, leaving the rest of the combined fleet to take on the reapers on more even terms.  And why wouldn't the Quarians agree to it?  If we can get the Quarians onto their homeworld then they have no need of the fleet anymore.  The Quarians only have 17milion of them left, thats small for a country let alone a whole race.  If the Quarians managed to settle their homeworld then that fleet is now redundant, the Quarinas will only need a few for warships, most of those ships would be scrapped becuase their purpose is now void.  Semms like a waste to use them more in ship to ship combat really, judt use them as kamikazes

I doubt the Quarians would consent to use their homes as FTL missles versus the Reapers.

I'm thinking if you got the Geth to give them back their preserved homeworld, gave them the opportunity to strip the ships of all the non-necessaries (which is 95% of it, knowing Quarians), and secured post-Reaper Council help with rebuilding in exchange for the contributions... It should do the trick.

If you're so bent on beating the reapers and destroying the quarians in the process than I'd say go for it.

Though for kamikaze style attacks I'd use geth ships. The geth are said to have a massive fleet of battleships as well (estimates in excess of 10.000 ships if I remember it right). They don't have pilots either since a single geth program is simply downloaded into the ship, meaning it will need a crew of approximately 0 geth. Perfect for kamikaze style attacks.
