1,2 & 4) You answered your own question righ there, by giving examples of elite enemies .Not that you needed to. Sheppard was a Spectre. The ELITE of the COUNCIL.
What kind of technology do oyu think specters recieve? Common crap?[/quote]Nope. Spectres, at least Shepard, is financed by his species government. In ME1 Shepard got crap by default and had to buy spectre weapons, but that's more to do with game mechnaics.
Saren had a hover board. Both he and Benezia relied heavily on biotic barriers instead of armor, but Benezia's assault rifle hit harder than others. They are ME1 characters and neither relied on armor. So that leaves us with Vasir. Tela vasir's armor was superior to Shepard's. Alot tougher than Shepard's.
You stated that elites were no better equip than an other mook. I think you're wrong.[/quote]
Bosses always have more HP.
And yes, Shepard had acess to special specter gear during hte game. Top of the line armor and weapons - for all species.

3) reading comprehension. You fail at it.[/quote]
You fail at back peddling. Caught you in a lie and you're trying to weasling out of it.[/quote]
There is no lie. You misinterpreted/misquoted. Go back and read again slowly. You're advocating a point I never made.

5) I never said Cerberus was the MOST advanced. I said they are very advanced. They seem to sport better tech then even the Alliance military.[/quote]
Ooooooh, so now they're just more advanced than the new guys. And you base this on?........
...Exactly. Nothing. You're just pulling stuff out of your rear end.
If Cerberus was more advanced than the Alliance then what is the point of Cerberus if they just horde all this so-called advanced tech for themselves? And you act as if the Alliance doesn't have it's own R&D. As if no one else out there is doing anything and the galaxy would be at a technological stand still if not for Cerberus' small steps. Give me a break. Cerberus didn't create Salaris Armor. Cerberus didn't create Cyclonic Shields, they didn't develope the Thanix Canon. They didn't develope the stealth systems nor the tantalus drive. They didn't develope smart targeting, phasic rounds or the vast majority of the weapons and armor you can use.[/quote]
Cerberus is interwowen with the Alliance. Cerberus wants the domininance of humanity. Hence, Alliance having better tech = stronger humanity. We know that Cerberus has a lot of connections and pull within the Alliance.
They have been heavily influencing the construction of hte Normady. Why assuke it's the only thing they influenced?
Again, Cerberus is portrayed as advanced * everything, from the tech they have , to their design and resources points at this.

You said you spoke to people in a different field of study than your own so how would your diploma/degree mean anything? Fill free to post it. Granted, it's probably in a language I can't understand.[/quote]
It's a mixed faculty. I knoda..wobbled a bit, dabbled in stuff while I was attending. Electrical Enginneering and Naval Architecture are interesting studies. Regardless, the point is I have had acess to materials, books and people in the field. Which is why I can say I know something about the subject. I'm no expert, but I know enough ot be confident of the accurafy of my claim.
I've yet to see you add anything pertinent ot back up your claims.

They used SR-1 schematics. The building/construction techniques in the future are probably more advanced, so 2 years for a frigate doesn't seem far-fetched to me at all, given that our own shipyards can churn out even bigger ships (large tankers and freighter) in a shorter time span.[/quote]
Nice try trying to avoid the questions, but you failed. I didn't ask you how long it took to simply construct it. Let me make it easier for you.
1. Did Cerberus recreate the Normandy by using the Normandy SR-1 design schematics? Yes or No?
2. Did Cerberus design and develope their own stealth system from stratch? Yes or No?
3. Did Cerberus design and develope their own tantalus drive core from stratch? Yes or No?
4. Are you saying that Cerberus went through the entire development and manufacturing process from
concept to reality in a 2 year timeframe? Yes or No?
Answer the questions. Yes or No answers. Real simple. Even for a so-called educated man such as yourself. [/quote]
1. Yes, using the schematics as a base to work from
2. Don't know. Probably not.
3. Don't know. Probably not.
4. Yes. A few months in the design phase, the rest to build. Can be done.

[quote]Lotion Soronnar wrote...How about you admit that wihout Cerberus, the universe would have been royally boned. Without Cerberus, no Normandy.[/quote]
I don't know that. For all we knew the Alliance would have developed it with or without their encouragement.
As far as I know the Alliance doesn't need Cerberus' permission to develop a warship.[/quote]
But we do know.
Wihout Cerberus to push it, it wouldn't have been completed as fast...or not at all. And rember that Shepard got command of it right after it was done. Simply put, if it was finshed a month later, it would have already been too late.
By that time Sovereign would have already won.
By ensuring the right critical equipment was avilalbe just when it was needed, they effectively turned the tide of the battle.

And the Normandy was cruical in stopping Sovereign.[/quote]
It helped em get to Ilos in light of the council's incompetence... or mild indoctrination. The citadel is reaper tech afterall. Their continued denial in light of being attacked by a reaper is alittle hard to swallow on its own.[/quote]
The Normady is hte only stealth ship. A frigate perfect for infiltration and black-ops. Which is exactly what Sheppard needed. Simply put, other ships couldn't have filled it's role.

[quote]Without Cerberus and TIM, no Sheppard to stop the Collectors form making another Reaper (which would effectively do the same thing Sovereign did)
[/quote]
Mass Effect 2 was completely pointless as far as the reaper plot goes. The real main story was racial polititics setting the stage fore ME3. The collectors would have had to take a fully industrialized planet like Earth or Terra Nova. That wasn't going to happen until the reapers arrived. The collectors were just getting a head start so that the reapers could finish it up afterwards. There is no way one collector cruiser was going to raid Earth. Horizon's defense sent it running away. They'd have gotten torn apart against a Earth's defenses plus orbiting ships. Plus they'd have to fight through the entire arcturus fleet to get there.
Tim could have sent in a army to stop the collectors like Shepard said. It would have been much more effective. He wants to blow a billion or so credits on one man... well, it's his money. And, well, plot prograssion demands Shepard come back so... TIM is no more responsible for Shepard's actions than his mother and father are.
Great job resurrecting Shepard, but I'm not going to give TIM credit for every single thing Shepard does for the rest of his life.

If you recall, the baby-reaper was already active. They didn't need the whole Earth.
They just needed to make sure other reapers arrive. And having an active reaper could only help in that regard.
