That was a suicide mission too.
We have no reason to believe that they expected to survive any of their missions. And the fact that they always die is indicative that these were very risky missions. Just because they were tasked with recovering data doesn't mean that they had any real chance at making it out alive.
Shepard's squad is just more skilled. That has nothing to do with the Quarians' expection of the survival of their own squad.
Are you yet another deviate obsessed with me? You seem to magically appear whenever I post anything. Starting to make me feel...uncomfortable.
Your contradicting yourself with that statement. You first say that they had no real reason to expect survival but Shepard did because his squad is more skilled. But you than say that skill ' has nothing to do with the Quarians' expection of the survival of their own squad.'
If its skill that determines the survival rates then the quarians in general suck in terms of their military strategy. You dont send a bunch of tank engineers to carry out an infiltration operation you send in special forces.
No soldier has any reason to think that they will come back from a war zone. That doesn't make it a suicide mission.
Also let me get this straight... your saying.. That Tali's mission to Freedom's Progress was more of a suicidal mission than the collector base??? Seriously? Ok you have to be trolling now.
On Freedom's Progress all they came up against was a few rogue security mechs. The reason the Quarian's all died in it wasn't because the mission was a suicidal one. Its because all of Tali's men were insubordinate retards and rushed on ahead, only to come up against a superior force. That is what happens when you charge head on into hostile territory.
The collector base mission was suicidal because they were going to attempt something no one has ever survived trying. The collecters were more advanced and their base was a complete unknown. But because the squad was skilled and Shepard is a good commander, they made it out alive.
