A bit of a strange question, but given the heavy prevalence of Banshees at Platinum difficulty, I started to wonder about the logic fail.

According to the ingame information, you can't just make any Asari into a Banshee, they have to be an Ardat-Yakshi in order to be converted into a Banshee.
And the numbers of Ardat-Yakshi are very limited.

It seems every wave there are at least 3 Banshees floating around.
This number is just not realistically sustainable, at the rate we go through Banshees, we've have exhausted the Reaper's supply by now.

I'm sure my solo operatives are questioning the strangeness of fighting the Geth on Palaven but they don't need to know why. They just need to kill things.

Just how many people actually do that?

Limited is relative, especially for a race as sexually active as Asari, even more so, Ardat-Yakshi.

The Reapers probably have some sort of replication facility...

Lore.... this was dismissed long ago when it comes to ME3MP. Also Space Magic.

Any giving multiplayer match is not linked to any other wrt causality, timeline, cannon or outcome. In that context, any platinum match is unique and exceptional. You might as well ask how can there be so many Shepards / single player campaigns.

...is this a serious question? Since when is the MP directly related to the story and lore of ME3?

[FasterThanFTL]

They clone them.

The needs of the MP to have many bosses to shoost outweigh the needs of the MP to be accurate to the SP storyline. That is to say, MP can be w/e it needs/wants to be and do w/e it needs/wants to do. Damages are different for guns, lots of banshees, etc. when MP is compared to SP

Artistic integrity anyone? If you get the reference then you have been here since the whole ending debacle.

You could easily calculate it out of the world cancer incidence.

Aardat-Yaakshi have had their lore retcon'd, so that there are considerably more of them than the estimates made in ME 2.

I believe they snuck in a lore update, as well, that explains that Banshees are made using technology orginally created with Aardat-Yaakshi, but which can now be applied to any Asari.

Go bronze if you wanna lore-wise fights.
Sad but true.

Hey, the MP is just another sim, like the one near Silverstrip, so the number is unlimited:D

IIRC Banshees can be made from any Asari that carries the dormant Ardat-Yakshi trait. You don't get an actual Ardat-Yakshi unless they mate with another Asarii, or possibly another Asarii who has the same trait. Therefore the pool of potential Banshees is much larger than the number of actual Ardat-Yakshi. In SP though the initial Banshees were created from actual Ardat-Yakshi.

I always assumed those were Heretic Geth and therefore, not part of the mainstream Geth contigent.
And since the Heretic Geth serve the Reapers, I doubt anyone feels any guilt about sending them on a one way trip to Scrapville.
Including the Orthodox Geth.......

Erry tall laddy got a little tall laddy in their belly.

Doesn't rhyme too well but you get the idea.

This sounds like what I remember.

That's really annoying. You'd think that writers would at least keep notes on the internal logic of their writing

There was a disturbing picture of said place posted here not long ago...

This is honestly less problematic than how Ceberus has practically the second largest navy in the galaxy all of a sudden.

Same place all those collectors are coming from
