I know this is a topic that has been discussed to death, but one thing that really ticks me off is that when the Collectors board the Normandy they do it when our crew is out its most vulnerable. From a tactical perspective, this is cowardice. From a story-telling perspective, this is a lot easier than showing the dirty dozen fighting off the collectors. because god knows that if they tried that when my squad is on board they would have gotten pushed back and the story would be dramatically different.

indirectly, the reapers are cowards too since it is they who control the actions of the collectors. which is pretty contradictory to the idea that the Reapers are a pinnacle of power and know no rivals. so now they are using guerilla tactics?

so reapers and collectors are sissies and are afraid to fight SHEP and his squad. They are not afraid of engineer gabby :(

There's no denying the effectiveness of guerrilla warfare, just ask the founding fathers.

from a tactical perspective it is not cowardece...its clever.....



instead of loosing massive armies to take people...they just use bugs and other such things... their smart.



as for reapers, what else are they meant to do? their on their way ig uess it was just to pass the time till they got here

Saying that it is cowardly from a tactical perspective makes no sense. From a tactical perspective, it's smart to board the ship when there will be minimal resistence.

Well it's not like they knew that it was a time that the Normandy was vulnerable. When EDI is trying to interface with the IFF, she notices that the location of the Normandy is being broadcast. This could've very well happened when Shepard was on board. They attacked a helpless Normandy by chance, not because they are "cowards".

On another note, (not entirely sure of this of course) but how exactly would the collectors have known who was or was not on board at the time? Their location is transmitted to the collector ship when they activate the iff for testing and prep, it just so happens Shep and the squaddies are piled up in the Kodiak. It's more of the plot and story design and less about collector tactics in that case, unless of course

Edit: ahaha, not the only one who thought this :ph34r:

cowardice is a human thing. machines and creatures controlled by machines have not use for it. those cowards raped your first ship regardless

One persons cleverness is anothers cowardice.



For example, many would say the Collector attack was clever and efficient.



A Krogan would not.



Many would say attacking a whole army with just one person would be stupidity.



A Krogan would not, that's Bravery!



And so forth.. etc.

Saying Collectors are "sissies" for mounting a sneak attack is like saying Husks are "courageous" because they prefer to swarm-rush you. In truth, they're both just mindless Reaper appliances.

The collectors are weak. In a "proper" encounter they'd be slaughtered, but they realise that, which is why they only attack ****ty little colonies with no protection.



If anything the sissies are the Alliance for not doing nothing. Stupid Alliance...

Indeed, the collectors and the reapers are pansies, sissies, cowards.



Sovereign was stopped by my Shepard, Harbinger's "master plan" got stopped by my Shepard and the human reaper larva got utterly destroyed.



When my Shepard had the choice between destroying the collector's base or saving it, my Shepard didn't even doubt a second, he destroyed the base and told TIM that he's a coward.



My Shepard doesn't need the collector's base to destroy these pansy reapers.

Actually, the krogans admire taking enemies on by outnumbering them and using whatever works.  For instance, Grunt is allowed to take a group with him on his rite of passage as the ability to inspire and gain loyalty is considered important, and a 'fair fight' can include all your mates, since if you don't have as many friends well that's a lack of ability on your part, and the Scout Master on Tuchanka utilises guerilla tactics and sabotage.  So actually I reckon a krogan would support all those examples. :P

Krogans also repeatedly nuke their homeworld because they think it makes them strong.
