No he wasn't.

Correct, Shepard is a Lieutenant Commander when he's killed by the collectors.

So this Sheps description in ME1 where does it fit in the rank then. . .
XO - Executive Officer, the second-in-command of an Alliance warship. The XO is responsible for administrative and personnel matters.

Didn't the Chinese already build a raptor copy that was supposedly bigger and faster? It was in the news about a year ago.

Notice anything?

Yet again, you refer to Mass Effect 3.

Did you not bother to read one of my previous posts in another topic, where I state that, I haven't read up on the Mass Effect 3 story line mate.

It just means Shep's Anderson's second in command like Miranda's his second in command in ME2 that's all.

F-22 is more advanced than the F-35 in several aspects.  The F-35 excells at communitcating between other F-35s and F-22s, but it lacks the performance numbers of the F-22 in arial combat as well as the full stealth enchalada used on the B-2 and F-22.

In the end, if you wanted to steal radar and comms secrets, you'd be smarter to take the F-35, if you wanted thrust vectoring, superior AOA and avionics as well as the top of the line stealth features, you would steal the F-22.

That's true, but I think most people would be more after the intel that can be gained via the communication systems instead of a superior aircraft.

Because I think you'd get shot down pretty damn quick if you flew an F-22 without anyone's authorization over major cities.

But I digress.

Shepard's ship, Shepard's rules.

what was he then. . . .

Lieutenant Commander Shepard is the human protagonist of Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2, and the upcoming Mass Effect 3, whose gender, appearance, skills and pre-service history are all customizable and have an impact on the story.

Ok. . .  your right I stand corrected . . . .

XO is not a rank, it is a discriptor for the second in charge aboard a vessel.  Ashley would be called the NCOIC of her fire team, but it wouldn't change the fact that she was Gunnery Cheif.

Love that new paint job tbh.

Me too. The blue color fits rather nicely.

Not to mention that it's not the only thing the Alliance upgraded.

You might not have to worry about crewmembers getting incinerated the second the core is overloading.

Uh, yeah.  It's kinda the Mass Effect 3 forum. It's also the only game that's actually relevant to the current discussion.

There is much debate as to how much of a copy it is.  Copying the F-22 and using the stealth technology stolen or gleaned from the F-117 night hawk would not make an F-22.

The F-22 is at the moment, undisputed king of the skies, no other plane has a performance record that can come close.  The Chinese fighter and the Pak Fa are both just prototypes, and they haven't had any war games against F-15s or anything of that nature.

The F-15, previous king of the sky, receives a sound beating every time it goes up against the F-22 in our war games here.  I forget what the KDR is, but its ludicrous.  Our current air force machines can't touch it, F-15/16/18 all get spanked.

Not a problem!  Thanks for hearing me out.

Also how can the alliance seize a weapon that has turian weapon schematics on it? (Thannix Cannon)

Would that not pose a problem with the turian gov't?

They may, but that was a cerberus theft of said schematic, not an alliance one.  The alliance impounded, stripped, modified and reassembled everything on that ship, even if the Turians got it back, they'd still have a new one built shortly after.

So if Cerberus and the alliance were revealed to be in bed with each other the alliance would be in some trouble then? 

That mixed with EDI being illegal tech and the alliance leaving her on the ship instead of destroying her...

Well, not everyone will have that.  Also, of course they can.  What would stop them? The turians?  Doubt they know about it (as I doubt Garrus would be eager to say "Hey, I totally stole that weapon and helped install it on a Cerberus vessel.") Doubt the Alliance knew before the fact, for that matter. Will it be a problem after the fact? Maybe.  Assuming they tell the Hierarchy.

As Didy points out, this would be after the fact.

I guess that clears some of it up. Do we know if it was only that F117 from 1999 that they got ahold of? The thing looks very F22/F35ish.

The F22 without a doubt trumps every other fighter that is in or has been in production, but the J20 is one of those aircraft no one knows anything about.

So I suppose there's squat the alliance can do if Cerberus decided to mass produce the modified Normandy (that shep was using in ME2) for bomb drops and such. They can't impound all the ships. Granted it's expensive but Cerberus apparently can afford an army so it's probably not that out of the question.

And what about the illegal AI part?

An army would be considerably cheaper than a fleet of cutting-edge stealth frigates.  Probably cheaper than the one ship they did build.

So we're clear about where I get my information from, I have a freind of the family that worked in Lockheed Martin's Skunk Works.  He told me several times that Russia and China are behind by about 20 years at all times.  They occasionally find something through spywork that they can incorporate, but the end result is always a clumsy copy.  The only thing they have that is truly better than our stuff is troop numbers and small and medium ranged guided missles (provided they were upkept well through the poorer years).

The F-117 night hawk and U2 were the only two stealthy planes ever captured by either country.  U2 by russia, and the F-117 by bosnia who sold it to the Chinese.  The B-2 is several generations ahead of the F-117, and the F-22 uses all of those tricks itself.

Geometry of the shape is only part of the puzzle, there are material and coating concerns, and other things I'm sure as well.  The F-22 also has a superior jet engine to anything that has ever been produced, period.

I can take a picture of an F-22 and build a model airplane from it, and the Radar Cross Section would be smaller than the model, but no where near what the F-22 achieves from its combination of technology.  The same would go for the Pak Fa and J20, while they copied the geometry, they have information on coating from a jet (the F-117) that was designed some 40 years ago and only went operational in 1983 and we retired in 2008.

Eezo cores on Normandy class frigates are rediculously expensive, Cerberus would do better to make a Dreadnaught or a few cruisers for the same price.

As for the AI, it was covered in the leak, you'll just have to take my word on that.
