Send the bulk of the fleet to the Citadel via FTL rather than the relay network, so as to avoid detection. Use a precision jump (which the Reapers are capable of) to place the fleet as close to the Citadel as possible, and take control.

Perform mass indoctrination of the Citadel's now trapped population and disperse them amongst the galaxy to act as spies/saboteurs under the guise of refugees, shut down the relay network shortly after. Focus on annihilation of the races' military capability prior to beginning harvesting- destroy ships, shipyards, fuel depots, he3/eezo mining operations. The Turian Hierarchy would be targeted first, followed by (in this order) the Systems Alliance, Geth (assuming subjugation isn't again on the table), Asari Republics, Salarian Union, Batarian Hegemony, and finally the Migrant Fleet. Lesser races (at least in terms of military strength) would follow.

I don't really get why Earth was so important. Ground troops seem irrelevant. Mass the Reapers at every Relay to completely cut off travel and isolate every system, and then systematically dedicate an entire armada of ships to glassing every major planet before moving onto the next. Foolproof.

Have a reaper shoot down the Normandy in Vancouver when picking up Shepard. The cycle continues.

I'd avoid exactly that but act otherwise smart and watch how the galaxy crashes around Shepard when the plot armor is removed.

Too bad honey, you weren't all that you were cracked up to be.

The cycle is doomed. The Catalyst can't overcome the Crucible and it is heavily implied that it realizes that.

Stick to the plan

ENTIRE reaper armada directly to the citadel, take control of it like sovereign wanted to do, shut relays off, massacre/harvest everything

[fr33stylez]

Considering the Reapers could just U-Haul the Citadel to Earth and were responsible for also closing the arms (so the Crucible couldn't dock), there's no reason why it couldn't take over the Citadel and relays in the first place.

[LiL Reapur]

I changing my opinion on this, because destroying the citadel would also kill the reaper intelligence I would instead take control of the citadel immediately to ensure no one gets to the master controls or attach the crucible and ruin the plan. After that keep 100 to 150 capital ships there to guard it while the rest harvest the cycle, problem solved.

[crimzontearz]

Same as the previous goddamn strategy, immediately pour through the relay near the citadel with my ENTIRE FORCE, shut the relay off behind me, take the citadel, undo the damage done by the protheans, shut down the whole relay system, harvest the galaxy system by system in force.

Not sure why this did not happen to begin with but you know....I stopped asking questions when "art" was being thrown around as an answer followed by "you need more context (read subtle retcon)"

theres no reapership commander, they don't need them, they got the catalyst and organics to use for that stuff. Besides the idea is to harvest, not usurp. The reaperships are indoctrinated anyway, they cannot think for themselves and is why all the reapership hulls are indoctrination stations. It's how the catalyst controls them, like radio controlled toys with agenda.

 There is, its harbringer, he is the main control signal for all other reapers. Also isnt it odd that catalyst and harby have exactly the same voice, albeit the cat 1st sounds like a child with a deeper voice behind it like through a voice synthersizor but shoot the cat in the face and he soon lets his real voice show.

  Another thing that bugs the hell out of me, the catalyst is in control of the keepers, it controls the station. So why in the name of buggery did soverign need a signal to start the mass relay up and why in previous cycles did the reapers need to attack the citidel ( which they forgot in this cycle ) to get all census records etc when the catalyst has all that information on tap ?

I would stream Tiny Tim's "Living in the Sunlight, Loving in the Moonlight" over every FTL comm channel possible, and watch organic civilization tear itself apart.

What they did in ME3 made sense as it was.

[Killdren88]

Take over the citadel ASAP .Kill the catalyst no multiple leaders. Take control of the Geth then give them reaper upgrades. Exterminate all life in the galaxy except for humans. Do as they did in the matrix and farm humanity on a massive scale to produce more reapers. Purge all planets of all forms of organic life and replace what was there with human farms and Geth platform manufacturing facilities. Use advance reaper knowledge to figure out a way to travel to different galaxies rinse and repeat.

Take the Citadel and shut off the surrounding relays and communications until it's done, then move on to each system from there.  (Sticking to the typical Reaper gameplan).

And never miss an opportunity to mock Shepard.

I always thought... why don't the reapers just wait 30-40 years, clearly they have agents and know all the major races either don't believe the reapers are real or aren't actively doing much to prepare. Therefore by this time, Shepard would be kinda old... and at worst, a few ships have thanix cannons (which don't even get used in the final battle anyway -.- )

[Nitrocuban]

Switch off mass relay network
take out fleet by fleet with one attack of all Reaper froces
nuke every planet from the orbit

[Br3admax]

How exactly did that help harvest anything except dust?

Then maybe it should stop allowing organics to get to that level of intelligence?  Just a thought.

I think the idea is to just write off this cycle as a bust. Start again next time.

I am aware that this plan is super detailed. I have nothing better to do.

Well, I'd take out the batarians first. I'm passing through, so why not? Destroy comm buoys, then harvest and class their colonies.
Now, I send a large force to the Turian worlds. I don't want to give them time to prepare, so I focus on the fleet, as opposed to the worlds themselves. However, I would send small groups of Reapers to harvest small and poorly defended Turian colonies, so that I can make a lot of marauders.
While that part of the Reaper fleet is busy, I'd send some more to the Perseus Veil. Having the Geth on my side as quickly as possible would be a great aid.
Once that's done, I'll send the Geth fleet to attack Human colonies. I want to whittle them down before I attack there.
Modify thresher maws with reaper tech. Scatter them across Tuchanka. That'll keep the krogan busy.
Once the Turian fleet is weakened, send the necessary amount of reapers to Palaven. Disperse a crapton of Cannibals, Husks, and Marauders. Keep as much of their forces and fleet as occupied as can be. Keep a large defense force around the planets orbit to fend off reinforcements.
That basically takes care of the Turians. Unfortunately, this could give the other races time to prepare, even with the destroyed comm buoys. However, the Humans should be considerably weakened by the Geth. So we send the brunt of the fleet to Earth first. This should distract most of the humans from other colonies, making it easier for the Geth to harvest them using Dragon's Teeth. This will create a large force of husks. I will use those husks to cut off the Earth ground forces from areas of importance. And of course, I'll send in some forces from Palaven. Lots of Marauders and Cannibals.
While that's been going on, plenty of harvesting has been going on in Tuchanka. Instead of making brutes, I'd alter the Krogan with reaper tech to be immune to the Genophage. This will allow billions of Reaper-Krogan hybrids to be made within months. Maybe even quicker. I would designate several million to go to Earth. I'd use the rest for other worlds.
Around now would be the time to retract Geth forces from the Human colonies. I will save them up, and let them rebuild themselves.
The Migrant fleet is an easy grab. They're not prepared for more than a few reapers. Harvest them, get millions of new units. In fact, I'll give some to the Geth. While they're not busy, they can significantly improve eachother.
Now to run some errands:
Make Rachni.
Make Banshees at the Monestery.
Indoctrinate Cerberus by giving them our tech.
Indoctrinate a Hanar ambassador to upload a virus to the Kahje defense network.
Harvest the Hanar and Drell.
Done.
Now I have an incredibly strong force to take the rest of the Galaxy. I'll send a portion of it to finish off Earth. Then when that's done, retract most of my forces. Leave a few reapers in the biggest cities, just in case.
Now, send %30 of the fleet to take the Salarian worlds. Send %40 to take the Asari worlds. Send %20 to the worlds of other races.
Send the rest to take the Citadel.
Shut down the relays until every race is harvested.
Reactivate the relays.
Completely destroy the planet where Leviathan is.
Leave to make new reapers.

God, I have no life.

[Cainhurst Crow]

I would stick to the fringes and the terminus systems for the bulk of my army, but at the same time find means of long range indoctrination through the media being broadcast of the invasion. Push cerberus and the batarians to research means of piggybacking the signal into extranet feeds so that by the time the terminus systesm have been purged, a great number of citizens, military, and administrative figures from all over the galaxy will become our indoctrinated peons who will line up to be assimilated.

Those who do not will be left with no means of getting new information front he battlefront without exposing themselves to our mind deteriorating effects.

[Jukaga]

I wouldn't use devastating force or abominations. I would have the Sovereigns land on various planets playing 'The Entertainer' and have husks handing out ice cream to anyone who showed up. With this trust built up with the organics, peaceful indoctrination and gooification can proceed.

No one would listen to Shepard when you're getting free ice cream. I'd even do dextro-cream for the Turians and Quarians, cause I'm nice like that.
