 I mean a Reaper has firepower but, Normandy' s Thanix Cannon is not something to underestimate either. Normandy has the advantage of the speed too. Who would win a one on one fight?

[Kamifel]

i dont realy think that the normandy has the advantage of speed, since the reaper are sentient spaceship with an intellect far superiors than our pilote or ou IA i dont expect the normandy to win in a one on one combat.

Bu that's what alien spaceships are for. Making a good diversion

[Whereto]

Reaper, honestly if dreadnoughts arent a sure fire way to kill a reaper, I doubt the Normandy has much chance. It's a stealth fighter at heart, not a front line war ship.

[Zkyire]

The Collector ship had one primary gun.

The Reapers have several guns, and each of them are likely more powerful versions of the Collector's gun.

The Normandy would likely get in a shot or two with the Thanix cannon but no way it'd be able to stop a Reaper 1v1.

Now a squadron of SR2s on the other hand?

[Sigh_Blaise]

Didn't the SR1 punch straight through Sovereign? So the SR2 with the Thanix Cannon stands a chance. Assuming the stealth system works it could deliver a few suprising blows.

A Reaper would cut the Normandy like butter its a stealth ship not a dreadnought even then it still might not have a chance.

EDI is technically Reaper so has around equivelent intellect but way more sexier sounding. 

EDI: 1 Reaper: 0

But Reapers have giant red lasers...

EDI: 1 Reaper: 1

In Mass Effect 3, EDI will have boobs.

EDI: Over 9000 Reaper: 1


In the end it's not Normandy vs Reaper, it's EDI vs Reaper.

We have to assume that the normandy SR1 was able to do  that because the citadel fleet and defences weakened Sovereign's shields. Not to mention it was probably a possible shot because there were thousands of ships to distract sovereign.

Reapers have firepower... but Normandy has the reach.

[spectre Shepard]

with the upgrades and with the speed i would say the normandy would take a reaper down.

[Aligalipe]

Normandy is made using the Reaper tech and EDI is a very good AI, she(it) also has "Anti Reaper Algorithms', it took down the collector cruiser pretty easily (assuming its upgraded),

[Mizar_Panzar]

The thanix cannon can probably deal moderate damage on smaller (cruiser class) reapers but not the dreadnaught-class ones (like sovereign).

However, if we are able to enlarge the thanix cannon, create larger versions of it that can fit on cruisers or even dreadnaught-classes then they can be a serious threat to any reaper.

1 on 1: No chance in hell for the SR2.


It is the perfect ship to deliver a killer blow though.

[Dellingr]

I think that the SR-2 could take down a cruiser one-on-one with a bit of luck, but a dreadnought would be in a whole different weight division

[Arcadian Legend]

Isn't the Thanix Cannon based on reaper tech? Depends on how well defended they are to their own weapons. As intelligent as they are I don't think they would be prepared for that. It could become a who shoots first scenario.

[LightningSamus]

The reaper would just assume direct control of the normandy crew and make them blow it up.

[ZLurps]

Normandy doesn't have speed advantage over Reapers according to what I have seen from mini game videos. (que Benny Hill music)

SR-2 stealth didn't seem to work against Collector cruiser, I don't think actual Reapers are lower tech.

What comes to firepower, Thanix is good, but I don't think it can decimate Reaper shields. Reapers in other hand, one shot cruisers.

[Milan92]

The only reason why Reapers are so powerfull is because of their Advanced Shields. The also have alot of firepower, but the Thanix is almost its equel.

As soon as the Reapers lose their Shields they can be destroyed just like other capital ships.

[Arcadian Legend]

^ like Sovereign in ME1.

They are also faster and according to ME1 more manouverable than anything at least Alliance has.

Then, they have tentacle beams that can track targets and one shot cruisers, plus main cannon. Galactic races have mass accelerator weapons that are build along the axis of ships, they can only operate against one target at once.

Reaper shields are indeed their most effective weapon, but not their only advantage.

i could see the SR2 delivering a killing blow but as someone said its primary role is a stealth troop transport

and the only reason it punched a whole in a reaper in the first game was because it blue screened mid battle ( microsoft os ? )

My theory is that it accidentally downloaded and installed Safari browser from the Citadel.

After some fighters launched torpedoes and softened it up.

Thanix cannon probably can't do much to a Reaper on its own. I just was replaying the Derelict Reaper mission, and it's mentioned that a dreadnought's guns can't penetrate a Reaper's shields. (EDI says this if you tell Joker to blast you out once its kinetic barriers go up) As for speed and maneuverability, it's stated a couple of times in ME1 that Sovereign is bizarrely maneuverable for a ship that size. Joker's got a line on Virmire after you talk to Sovereign about how it pulled a turn that would've broken any of the Alliance's ships in half.

So no, I don't think the Normandy as-is could take a Reaper, unless it was smaller and less well-protected than Sovereign or the derelict Reaper. A Normandy that's upgraded even further, however... well. Maybe.

(Also, as for the Normandy taking down Sovereign, they specifically mention its shields are down. Whether it's because so many ships are focusing on him or because that's when you kill Saren again is unclear, but the shields were down when the Normandy was able to destroy Sovereign. So the Reaper itself isn't the issue, but their shields.)

[Eclipse merc]

I don't think the Normandy would have a chance against a Reaper.
