As for the baby reaper. It looked to me like it was being grown as much as being assembled. If that's true then once the process was kicked off then it would keep growing itself according to it's own genetic template. Provided the human goo kept coming the fun stuff could have just grown at their own pace.[/quote]
Thats' not how it works. The core is inserted into a reaper shell (the starship).
It isn't grown. It is built.
So you're sying their building a full-grown reaper with reaper weapons, reaper shields , reaper sensors and reaper engines...without reaper tech?
[/quote]
Because... you say so? I just watched the scene with the baby reaper again, I kept an eye out for tech apparently used to manufacture the reaper or install hardware into it and aside from those tubes injecting people goo into the reaper it's surprisingly lacking. You'd expect to see
something in the big chamber they're using to build it.[/quote]
No, because it makes sense.
The base is MASSIVE.. I mean, MASSIVE. You honestly think you saw the whole base and everything in it?
You really think the core and the shell would be made in the same chamber?
The chamber with the core isn't even big enough to fit the shell - a reaper "body/shell" is 2 km long.
And the base is practicly citadel-sized. More than enough room to fit several reapers in it.
And no..the core is metallis. The reaper shell is quite clearly metallic and NOT organic. You were in a derelict reaper - that isnt' grown. It is built.

The truth is we know very little about how they create reapers. We don't know if they're assembled or if they're grown. We don't know if the people goo they use is what they construct it out of, or if it's some sort of nutrient they use to give it life.[/quote]
No, we know they are built.
[quote]
And you know this..how? How do you know we wouldn't be abel to repair it? How do you know we can't get anything usefull? [/quote]
Because it's completely alien technology.[/quote]
Didn't stop Cerberus before..
Knowledge is power. And not all knowledge is technologys ment to be mass-produced. You can find otu stuff about reapers that can help you and DON'T require mass producitng stuff (like for example, how indoctrination works...reaper weak spots, etc...)

And all of that will fail epicly in a clash against the reapers. Sovereing alone, stationary and in a tacticly disadvantageous position took on TWO fleets and was kickin ass.
The Normandy is so insignificant, it's laughable.[/quote]
Sovereign was not alone. It was accompanied by a fleet of geth and it attacked with the advantage of surprise and the Citadel fleet didn't have time to co-ordinate particularly since the control room had already been taken by Sovereign's geth allies. By the time it becomes stationary the Citadel's arms have closed and shielded it from further attack until Shepard opens it.[/quote]
Listen to what HAckeet sez in arrival. Listen to the battle of the Citadel. Teh alliance fleet focuses on Sovereign.
"Sovereign is too strong" ring a bell?
In other words - you're proven wrong by the game.

Which makes the reapers even MORE dangerous, since they don't have our logistical weakness. And are also faster and moe manouverable, and strategicly more mobile. They don't have fixed assets to defend either.
That alone is such a MASSIVE advantage, then tehy would wipe us out even if their fleets were equal to ours in strength.[/quote]
The reapers' strength is unproven, thus far they've depended on sneak attacks against unknowing targets and isolating systems to prevent co-operation. That they apparently don't have the same weaknesses as us doesn't mean they can automatically prey upon them, indeed the Protheans have already taken away their greatest advantages.[/quote]
Unproven? So that we FACTUALLY know a single repaer can rape a fleet, it's faster, more manuverable, has better endurance, etc..... that is nothing?

37 million year old super-strship with super-intellects, who know the galaxy like the plam of their hand will be easily tricked by us?
Are you forgetting they were working with the Shadow Broker?[/quote]
They've been asleep for tens of thousands of years, in that time galaxy has shifted in ways they won't immediately notice but in ways that the locals will know from living with it constantly. Intelligence briefings and star charts don't automatically beat out local knowledge.[/quote]
Yes they do. The reapers arne't morons.
Because of their superiror strategical mobility and no fixed assets, they dictate the battelfield, not you.
You cannot force them to commit to battle. They can force you.

[quote]
Yeah right. You forgetting the indoctrination? Epic backstabing, betrail and inteligence leaks follows.
And that instant-comunication is stanrard for all reapers?[/quote]
All of which is to be expected, none of which is insurmountable. I'm not going to throw in the towel and assume that the only way to win the game is an act of God, which seems to be the position you're taking. [/quote]
And yet it is.
Just because you expect half of your people to turn agaisnt you and join the enemy ,doesn't mean you can do anything about it (especialyl when the one who turns might be you).
[quote][quote]
I mean seriously..... Bio has set up the reapers with so many epic advantages that even if you put a retard in charge of the reaper invasion, tehy would win easily.
[/quote]
We've already taken away their biggest advantages, and there are plenty of examples of apparently inferior forces beating more advanced and dominant forces by playing to their strengths and fighting on their own terms.
[/quote]
Lol...no. What advantages? The Citadel relays? The same Citadel they can take back whenever they please?
