please .. can you elaborate on that? ..

mass effect one had its flaws but i did not notice something game/imersion breaking.

The conduit, a prototype relay turned glorified teleportation device, contradicts the ways they operate.

not really .. you do not need a mass effect core to use a mass relay .. the massless corridor is created by the eezo-core of the relay-pair itself.

the mass relays create "on demand worm-holes" - point to point corridors of massless space.

They need to be aligned, and you need to assign mass to the device going through them.

BW wants my constructive opinion?

Here you go (in my opinion):

Fire Mac Walters. This is not meant or aimed as an insult. I seriously mean this. Get rid of him. He's your problem. Simply put. At the very least, he needs to be removed from his position.

And some advice to BW: Learn to take criticism. Not the country-club or modern HR ideal of sugaring over things like they seem to want, out of fear of hurt feelings or political correct or whatever. Simply put, learn to deal with hurt feelings (this can be a lesson for everyone). It's nothing personal. But your stuff is quite frankly bad. Objectively bad. One of the few objectively bad things that can be said with any criticism: You don't keep your stories straight. You change it to suit your desires based on what you alone want the story to be, existing canon be damned. And it frankly equals material that I can't give any real positive criticism or feedback for beyond "it sucks. Change it, burn it, or rewrite it".

harsh .. but true ..

i might add one thing .. fire the guy in charge ... anyone who lets his/her writers go rogue on the own lore has to take responsibility.

They continually violate their own lore. It's frustrating at times, and I think having one person help maintain the integrity of the ME universe or even DA universe would be money well spent.

Agreed. 

On the subject of the Star Wars EU, I'm hoping they keep the Zahn books as canon. That is, if they're not simply adapting it, because...Thrawn. 

The rest, outside of most of Stackpole's stories, and especially anything having to do with a certain Mandalore-loving author, can be tossed without any feeling of loss on my account.

I support nixing anything Karen Traviss related in the SW universe. And the Revan novel. Otherwise, I actually love the EU as it is and am fine with it. I basically grew up with all the 90's stuff, so I'm cool with it too.

I absolutely agree with this. Or at least give him a not so firm discussion about why one person cannot be in such an advantageous position over the universe as to essentially make things the way they alone want them to be.

"big relays" are point to point and long distance .. "smaller ones" connect to many more but at closer range.

the control center on the citadel builds up the connection within the network.


the conduit on the other hand is a prototype and strictly point to point - it was not connected to the relay network. in fact .. comparing the reaper-build mass relays with the prothean ones is not very fair. the protheans used the concept of the original design - but maybe not the exact modus operandi.

i am willing to let this slide, because the conduit is not reaper-made and "only" a copy of the concept.
