Well I know the difference in the blow-back systems,I meant the polymers and double stack magazine.SandTrout wrote...
@Humanoid_Typhoon,
To clarify a technical detail, a Glock is actually significantly simpler than a 1911, though I suppose calling it more advanced is about right.

You don't need a book to know you can't live without resources. Humanity is an ever expanding race. Every year more and more people fill the planet. We would have had to escape sol at some point.
I can't respond without being a sarcastic sh*t to humanity in general....I think I will shut my trap now......

So what I'm saying is you could give that glock to someone in 1911,and he wouldn't fully understand it immediately,but after using for a while he would understand and be able to duplicate it.(save for the polymers)

Tech steps aren't all the same size,you may first take one small step,but that step leads you to a much larger one,there was a reason I used two different examples,to show the size of the gaps,you used the one that was clearly labled as an example against your iPad.ThePwener wrote...

No I didn't. It's the same with everything. When Humanity made the steam train, did we immediately make the bullet train as well because of it? No.
Same thing with the Relays, especially since we didn't make them and just found them.

I still think humans could do it. The protheans did it eventually. It may take us hundreds, perhaps even two thousand years or more, but we would eventually figure it out. Liara's dad was keen to start doing it.

The size of the tech gap between Prothean and reaper wasn't as large as you like to think,because they did reverse engineer a relay.
Use them now, and prepare to shut them down at a moment's notice, if possible. That's my call.ThePwener wrote...

It's still too large. It's better to use it now and figure the rest later. Avoid overpopulation and all that.
I don't know where you're getting the idea I am against using the charon relay,I was defending saprhas point:sick: of dismantling the umapped ones and reverse engineering them.ThePwener wrote...

Well, if we are talking about disabling/dismantling them, I don't see why not. I'd be more worried about trying to dismantle the Charon Relay and it going Arrival on us. That would be bad, IMHO.ThePwener wrote...
Can we even shut them down? I've always assumed the Reapers do it after each cycle.

@Arijharn,
Yes, actually, were're discussing the virtues (or lack thereof) of the Citadel's policy of not activating a Relay until the other side is mapped.
yeah,just not the ones we disassemble.ThePwener wrote...
It's still the same logic. We'd have to use them at some point.

Dad? With the... thing...
Anyway, being able to or not is irrelevant. We would have used the relays eventually just like everyone else before us.

You can look back a page or 2 for the details of my position, but since the relays can be activated from either side, I don't understand how the Citadel policy would prevent an invader from just activating the Relay from their side.Arijharn wrote...

My take on it? Pretty wise. Not sure how you can test to see whether you found the Relay's twin yet until you turn it on though. The only way I think you could 'responsibly' open up a relay before you know where it leads is to heavily defend it beforehand and scout it out when you do, only initiating contact with other species if you have too.

Yeah, I know. In can't believe BW did that. I was here when the rumors started a year ago and then the SB vid turned up. cheap move BW, cheap move.
My guess is that the twin just wouldn't work.But what happens if someone used the twin of the one we destroyed? Ooops.....
