The Battle of Earth is going all crazy, with thousands upon thousands of ships pounding the snot out of each other. Just as things are finally starting to look up, the Mother Of All Reapers screams into the atmosphere in an entry that would obliterate most normal Reapers. Of course, it immediately targets the Normandy. Joker flies like the mad genius he is, but even with all its crazy upgrades, the Normandy's still a frigate. Then, just as all seems lost...

Shepard: "It's the Destiny Ascension!"
VS: "Thank God!"
...well, that's what I'd like to see. 
 

you ever noticed some simularities between Joker and Wash Personality wise?

@Forumites:

Wow... I have to say.The quality of well written, intelligent post in this thread (so far) is most impressive...

+1000 To all contributors.Good job everyone...

"Got time for the press Shepard? The people want to hear your story.

Khalisah Bint Sinan al-Jilani Westerland News.I interviewed you two years ago, when you first became a Spectre.You presented your case very well on camera.Do you have a minute?"

Shepard: What so you can try to do another smear job on me?

Khalis: Now Shepard... You may object to my methods.But we're on the same side.

Your back.Your news.I just want to give your story its due.

Sources claim that you were at the heart of the Presidum during the Battle of the Citadel.Its fair to say the course of the battle henged on your words.

If true... You told Admiral Hackett to assist the Destiny Ascension - costing hundreds of human lives.And continuing the dominance of the Citadel Council.

Shepard: (We stood as one to save many)

The Turians lost 20 Cruisers.Figure each had a crew around 300.

The Ascension - the Asari dreadnought we saved.Had a crew of nearly 10,000.

Khalis: But surely the human cost...

Shepard: The Alliance lost eight cruisers: Chinyang, Emden, Carte, Cairo , Sol, Cape Town, Warsaw and Madrid...

And yes... I remember them all.Everyone in the 5th Fleet is a hero!

The Alliance owes them all medals.

The Council owes them alot more than that...

And so do you...

Khalis: Commander Shepard - first human Spectre.Hero of the Battle of the Citadel.

Check good... We get it? Great... Bullrushed on my own show..."

@Commander Shepard: You know... Every now and then.Your kind of like a God among men - you know that? Damn Shepard - that was one hell of a soundbite."

One of Mark Meers best moments as a VA too.Shepard's body language, facial expressions along with the way he walked off.Was just - perfect!

The Destiny Ascension went on a 20 colony Grand Tour post BotC.Maybe some here are right to think and see it as nothing more than a "Show-Horse"... But that need not be so.BioWare (and in-game characters) Must and should show respect to all those who lost their lives to save the DA.

A great deal of Alliance blood was shed to save that ship and her crew.

HONOR THE FALLEN - DO NOT LET THEM TO HAVE DIED IN VAIN...

What was once a "show - horse" needs to become a "Work - Horse"... This is the character development that needs to take place with the Destiny Ascension in Mass Effect 3.

Who knows how it would play out?

Maybe by destroying the DA, the races militarize even more..MAke new classes os starships? Maybe the Asari makde DA Mk2? Or humans make a super-dreadnought of their own?

[Xilizhra]

Well, though fleet firepower is an important consideration in regards to the Battle of the Citadel, when the Reapers show up in force, it won't really matter. how strong each fleet is afterwards if the Reapers win.

[Arppis]

Would be awesome, if you saved DA, it would come and save Normandy, if you didn't, Normandy would have some serious damage!

[Undertone]

If the Ascension managed to get blown up by a few geth ships then it is useless.

Either way the war with the Reapers won't be won using conventional means.

Now this would be badass as hell.

[eye basher]

I don't think fleet action will beat the reapers they might gain time to do something else but i doubt they'll be a deciding factor.

The Destiny What? PS3 players will have no idea what this ship is, or its importance and thus will probably not even feature in ME3.

PS3 players also don't know who Conrad Verner, Helena Blake, Shiala, Rana Thanoptis, or Captain Kirrahe are.

I usually stick up for PS3 players, but in this case...no.

[RyuGuitarFreak]

I hope it has a role, even if it's the bare minimum. It was one of the reasons why I saved the council. Seeing it in ME2 was kind of nice as a reminder.

Sorry I'm a bit new here but what is a canon playthrough? I'm assuming it's your first playthrough of the game?

Your canon playthrough would be what you consider your main playthrough, the one you ultimately say really happened.


On topic: I wonder if the "Renegade" Council will get a new flagship, aptly named the Destiny Retribution.

[joe4201]

what about all the reaper technology that was salvaged from the battle of the citadel im sure theres about ten times as much technology there compared to the stupid terminator in me2

Well, we got the Thanix Cannon from Sovereign's remains. Remember that the Council didn't even get half of Sovereign's remains; it was looted/salvaged by other people first.

What I want to see
Harbinger: I am the Harbinger of you destruction
Turian Councilor: Ah yes, "Reapers" -DA one shots Harbinger- we've dismissed that claim.

It's great to see people who believe that the Destiny ascension is an actual war ship. That thing is a damn gimmick that couldn't even keep up at the battle of the Citadel. LOL indeed. Blowing it up was a wake up call for the aliens.

If you save it, what do they do? They don't improve it or upgrade it seeing how it got it's ass kicked and completaly sorrounded in a matter of minutes with no chance of escape. No, they make it shiny again and send it on a victory trip to all major colonies, arrogantly waving they're dick around like children, showing how little they have learned, especially naive seeing they're goverment has been around for thousands of years and should be a wise one. Even more stupid is the fact that it was the Alliance who saved the Citadel, not the Citadel fleet, so I'd like to know what "victory" they're celebrating.

Where does it say that the Destiny Ascension is the greatest Dreadnought in the galaxy? Just wondering. It makes sense but I always sort of thought all the Dreadnoughts were more or less as good as the Destiny Ascension.

Personally I think it'll just stay at the Citadel as defense but maybe it will get called to leave the Citadel, doubt it though. Just because of the Destiny Ascension not being prepared or in formation they couldn't stop Sovereign.

If the Destiny Ascension knew Sovereign was coming it could have positioned itself next to the relay and when Sovereign comes out it would just fire at it from the right angle so it hits Sovereign and possibly instantly destroys Sovereign or greatly weakens him/it.

Just because of its size, it has the strongest shields and most powerful main gun of the dreadnaughts.

But no, the DA would not have beaten Sovereign. As EDI says on the Derelict Reaper mission, Reaper shields are impervious to dreadnaught fire. The Codex also states that the Reaper's main gun can one-shot a dreadnaught. Not to mention Reapers are far more manuverable, and have 11 super Thanix Cannons to use as well.

Were it not for Shepard killing the Saren avatar, Sovereign likely would have killed all the ships attacking it during the Battle of the Citadel.

I'm pretty sure that was comfirmed too! I know most poeple want to feel like the fleet was doing something in that scene, but sadly it's not ture. I will give credit where credit is due and they did destroy what was left of the Geth forces!!!

I would love to see the DA have a role in ME3... but who knows what kind of role that will be

[Yezdigerd]

It's kinda amusing how dreadnoughts work in ME. "The ultimate arbiter of space warfare"
"No sane commander would face a dreadnought without a dreadnought of his or her own. "

Guess the Geth didn't read the codex.

Yet apparently they can't bombard planets, destroy reapers, or destroy puny geth ships. Yet for some reason the Asari has locked half it's naval firepower into the DA alone, instead of building 600 more cruisers or so that can actually do these things and would have made the human contribution at the battle of the citadel a footnote.
