The obvious counter to the Coronati tactic is for the Reapers to just have a bunch of Destroyers watching their Capital Ships back.
Which is more or less what real naval Destroyers were developed for.

i re-instate my critisism of the turian FTL tactic based on this new info.
and i am now on an ego trip cos i realised i think like a naval commanderB)

About anticipating flight maneuvers... Doesn't EDI say that in koobismo's non-canon ending? I don't remeber that in the game.
she said it in both my playthroughs

Inconsistent writing is to blame in my opinion. The writing begins with a score of inconsistencies right in the first scene of the darned game, and it doesn't get any better as it works it's way to the end (epic, fun scenes that I loved aside haha).
Like, if no one knows what the heck the Cruicible even does, how does Hackett know it's their only shot at defeating the Reapers? Watch the Bookends of Destruction vids on Youtube for a fun commentary on how badly inconsistent the writing truly was.

(sorry that I could'n read the 18 pages)
Hackett is in charge of humanity military (can I say this?) and constantly assure that Reapers can't be defeated by conventional means and that the Crucible is the only way.
If we admit that the endings (control and synthesis mostly) are Reaper vicotry, could it be that Hackett is indoctrinated to not let the galaxy confront the Reapers and ensure the Crucible would be constructed? Like if the Crucible is a Reaper thing implanted on the Protheans whose where indoctrinated too?

Hackett's tactics left a lot to be desired. You have two years between BoC and ME2 and no one is preparing anything. If you put Anderson in charge of the council they don't listen to him. If you put Udina in charge of the council they don't listen. If you let the council live "Ah yes, 'Reapers'." If you let the council die, you're a terrorist. The SA denies the reaper threat in any case. (Why Shepard calls Anderson "Cpt Anderson" after she's made Anderson "Councilor Anderson", and got the message from Councilor Anderson, I don't know -- in ME2 -- perhaps Shep really isn't smart).
Yet, for some reason Hackett sends you on a "personal mission" to check on a black op that went teats up that was about investigating a reaper artifact and slamming an asteroid into a mass relay in Batarian space. Nothing happens to Shepard. Why? Well that's because the decision is way above Shepard's pay grade. Bottom line is that you don't plan an op like that unless you know what's coming.
Yet officially, there's no further preparation. The defense council is totally incompetent -- asking a commander "what do we do?" "how do we wage war?" :facepalm: No. They spend the three years playing politics. No new ships are built -- council treaty... f*** that. You think governments actually pay attention to that stuff? They give lip service to them, but in reality? And is the council really going to do anything with the Alliance fleet providing the security to the Citadel? No. Sanctions? Alliance says "Fine. Sanctions? Our fleet goes home. Oh, I didn't think you meant that."
Systems Alliance just doesn't have the leadership that knows how to play hardball. They should have been building more and better designed ships, and working on computer models on how to fight with an inferior force against an overpowering invader.
Hackett seemed to be like the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. Supreme Commander of the Alliance. So Hackett is responsible for the battle plan, and hence not very bright, and apparently doesn't have too many bright tactical commanders beneath him either. Basically the Alliance is a bunch of incompetent nincompoops.

As is the rest of the galaxy. Quarians? Too busy trying to get themselves killed and dragging down the Geth (who actually WERE going to prepare for the Reapers) with them.sH0tgUn jUliA wrote...

Council? "Ah yes, Reapers".
Krogans? Well, kinda screwed already, genophage and infighting and all that.
Batar--Oh wait.
Um.
The Reapers. Dear God the Reapers. The most idiotic bunch of them all. And this was even BEFORE the Starchild.
