While I completely understand your "There was no chance to challenge the Reapers face to face and prove to them that they were wrong, that we were stronger than they thought, that we were worth more than they gave us credit for." part, there's one HUGE problem with this.
The game pounds it into your head over and over and OVER again:
The Reapers CANNOT in any circumstance be defeated via conventional warfare. Standard rules of engagement and strategies do NOT apply.
How do you "prove you were stronger", when the means to do that won't work?
Sorry, in game codex disproves your point.
4 dreads can take down a sovereign class (just firing normally). Granted, they'll probs be destroyed\\badly damaged...or not. The reapers's beam weapons seem to be really close range.
Multiple crusiers\\frigates can blow up the smaller destroyer ones.
2 thanix missiles aimed at the weak spot, (the eye), again, kill a reaper.
a thresher maw killed a reaper....
a nuke can kill a reaper. (Cain).
Its hard work, but then again, the reapers never faced a united galactic fleet before, did they, hmm?
