So... TIM found some old weapon that killed a Reaper. He says it was defunct, but I don't see why it can't be studied, so something just like it can be remade.

Bet if you were preparing for a war, you should try to make more of those.

Too bad I bet TIM isn't that smart, nor willing to give that kind of weaponry to the Council.

I didnt read the leaked script, but I assume that TIM with his Cerberus is helping Reapers to get some xtra time on preparing that Chekov gun. I expect him to turn on the Reapers soon in ME3, but he won't side with galactic force.

That weapon is basically a huge version of a dreadnaught's main gun. Except it it likely planet-based, meaning its size isn't limited by the size of the starship. While it could be useful, because it's stationary it is a very easy target.

Still a weapon that killed a reaper. Making more would be ideal, if your average Dreadnaught can't take it one out.

For all we know, planets like Earth, Thessia, and Pavalen do have things like that. Like I said though they would be taken out rather easily, perhaps before they could hit a single target.

And it's not like a weapon of that size, and with the necesarry eezo core, could be built quickly.

Just strap it to one of the quarian Liveships (it's a whooping one kilometer longer than a Reaper) and let it rain.

I can't see the logic in building a gun like that on the planet. For something of the length that is necessary, zero-gee would help a lot. Plus you don't want to be unable to fire because the planet is pointing in the wrong direction.

A mass accelerator of that power would have to be far stronger, and therefore longer than a dreadnaught's gun, which is a kilometer. You'd have to build a ship massive enough to carry that weapon, so the ship would end up being longer than a Reaper. It's possible, but I personally think it's less likely.

Why does it have to be a ship? Why not a space station?

Not to mention that the first shot would give it away immediately and then the Reapers can just shoot back at it with their main guns and pretty much make the planet inhabitable for all eternity.

TIM suggested it might have been a last hurrah for that species, so they already knew they were doomed. Anyways this isn't something i feel is worth debating.

That makes sense too.

I can understand why you think that I mean it does look like a massive space cannon but Omega was forged out of an asteroid.

Not to mention that it's been in the same damn place for thousands of years. Inside an asteroid belt. As far away from strategical places as you can get.

I bet it's some kind of a large structure that fires,big shell thing and when there is a lot of targets in one area, for example like 100 reapers close to each other, it explodes with a Mass Really power like the one in Arrival and destroys every thing.

That was a shot from the Death Star from Star Wars.

Star Wars happened in a far galaxy a long time ago. A stupid imperial gunnery tried to shoot like a cowboys and missed.

We know that Sir Isaac Newton is the deadliest son of a **** in space. The shoot from the DS keep travelling through the universe until it came to the Milky Way and hitted a poor reaper.

Using an Asteroid as the basis for your super cannon isn't necessarily a bad idea.  And the Omega relay is potentially strategically significant.

Activision would probably take offense when the Reapers started shooting at them.

Newton's laws don't apply to energy, though, just actual objects with mass. Then again, I have no idea if a Death Star blast would keep going and going in empty space or not.

It would not.
