So uh, if you destroy all the Mass Relays aren't you dooming the combined fleet to starvation?

Yes, isn't it nice that all those people will never see their homeworlds or their families again.

Obviously you aren't understand the plot and lore of travel yet... so you can be forgiven for putting up such ignorant statements.

Generally accepted it was a one way trip anyway.

Enough possible reasons for the relays not to go supernova, but anyway I heard there were many different endings? Anyone got another choise/resulst then just the two?

By the way, was anyone else overflooded with info? So destroy the reapers and all synthetic lifeforms, hmkay, or control the reapers and, missed that part, will blow up all the relays, aight...
But then destroying them blows up the relays too. Would have been nice to be able to ask the kid to repeat itsself. How Garus and Liara made it to the normandy while they drove with me towards the lightbeam is beyond me btw :P

I do not think you understand the plot and lore of travel. The only reason galatic society have been able to travel has been mainly to the mass effect relays. Even with FTL ingame, you will notice your fuel. You can only travel in your own galaxy with that amont of fuel. How the hell are they going to get back to their own planets. So you can be forgiven for putting up such aggrant and ignorant statement.

Destroying the relays by means of violent impact causes their massive power cores to detonate, but it's entirely possible that this root dismantling signal does not cause an explosion on nearly so violent a scale.


Evidence indicates so, but it could have been explained better in the end.  Or at all.  Not going to complain, just going to comment on the point.

In the codex they explain that the big thing about the Relays is that they generate HUGE mass effect cores and can store/discharge the static that builds up from said huge fields, which would normally fry a ship from static build up.  In arrival, there is no escape for the energy. 

In all the endings, they pass most of this energy along, each time destroying the array only after they pass the charge along to the next one.  Therefore, the energy wave is reduced and directed by Weird little AI boy.  Not complaining about the ending here, did that elsewhere, but this I all understand and accept.

I also choose to believe that most of the ships are fine after they discharge and restart their mass effect cores, and that the Normandy was fried because it had a huge static charge, so the wave overcharged the core which fried the ship.

Since FTL travel is possible without the relays, starvation is unlikely although shortages are definate.  Everyone will probably get home, but only after a very long time of staring at charts looking for works which can be 'skimmed' for fuel or colonies and cities along a long troubled route home.

We have dextro-amino animals and what not already existing RIGHT NOW, in reality.

There is not a single dextro-amino lifeform on this planet.

All currently known life has a trace of common ancestry. Which means they use the exact same amino acids.

You just misused arrogant and ignorant and then assumed that your basis of what you thought was not what I thought and that your basis was actually correct.

It'll take about 27 years to reach from one side of the galaxy to the other, so from 3 - 4 years to reach most places from Earth that were inhabited would be reasonable, they also have stasis bays if you didn't notice, so it's not a problem. A little inconvenient tho.

Thats assuming you have enough fuel to travel to different galaxies? You obvious do not based on the Normandy it self. Travel between galaxies has only been made possible through the use Mass Effect Relays. No lore in the game says other wise.

None of that matters.

If Mass Effect 2 : Arrival is accurate, destroying the Sol Relay destroys Earth regardless, along with everything in the system.

Yeah, most likely the relays blew by channeling so much energy to the next one, rather than just blowing up in place. It would probably be a much smaller explosion than Arrival, since the relay core energy was already being beamed away, and there was no added kinetic energy from a SMALL PLANET BEING SMASHED INTO IT.

Oh our poor planet. lol

I dunno, I like to think at least some on the planet will be willing to work together....or maybe there will be steps taken to help the Turians there survive (at least the Quarians have the Flotilla.), and humanity in general's probably been massively reduced in size too...but of course there's probably gonna be heavy difficulties but this cycle has now gotten further than any post reaper one before it. Keep in mind too that if its the control ending, the Citadel actually still exists. Its up there, in orbit. Assuming anyone would want to go back there, and there's a chance the Mass Relays aren't -completely- destroyed. There was brief talk you could come across about building our own mass relays some day which were generally unpopular sentiments...so I like to think that is a possibility at least. 

I dunno, there's just a lot of questions.

Heh, I feel so sorry for Wrex. He just got the Krogan back in order but now he's stuck on Earth. They can probably handle it though. Hopefully Eve's still on Tuchanka if she lives, helping them there. Then the Quarians...they just got their homeland back and now many are stuck with us too. lol Hopefully the Flotilla citizens remained on Rannoch to help rebuild while the military took the Flotilla to help us. Seems likely.
