OK, so some of the Collectors use particle beams, I can understand that. But why is the dominant weapon in every space battle we see giant laz0rs? Aren't all of the weapons in the galaxy (except the geth) supposed to be based around mass effect technology?
- In ME1 we see Sovereign, a reaper and whose technology is the base for every other technology in the galaxy, use giant lasers... for whatever reason.
- In ME2 we see the Collectors use a giant laser as the main weapon for their giant poo ship
- In ME2 now the Normandy, a non-Reaper/Collector ship, is using them too! What they heck?
What's with the lasers? Isn't this Mass Effect?

Sci-fi without lasers is like peeing with your pants on. It just doesn't feel right.

And I'm gonna go read the codex now, hopefully answering why lasers somehow count as Mass Effect

The collector particle beam was my favourite heavy weapon. I had Shepard use it on the final mission.

"After its destruction, most of Sovereign's debris rained down on the Wards. Between rescue workers looking for survivors and the keepers cleaning up the mess, little of Sovereign's technology could be studied. Some turian researchers discovered that Sovereign used an electromagnetic field to fire a stream of molten metal at the speed of light in its weaponry and reverse engineered their own version, dubbed the Thanix Cannon." -The codex on Sovereign.
Sovereign and the Normandy do not use lasers. It is molten metal.

I never thought the Thanix cannon was a laser. You don't see beams move, they suddenly appear. The Collector ship had something like a plasma cannon I guess, and Sovereign's weapon did indeed look like some kind of directed energy. But that was it.

because lasers move at the speed of light, duh!
factoid: laser weapons (directed energy weapons) are real and being developed as we speak and some have already been deployed. read airborne anti-missile lasers and non lethal anti-personel microwave weapons. there is also the LRAD but that is a sonic weapon

The Collector particle beam was focused radiation, I believe. Sovereign's weapons and the Thanix cannon were both beams of molten metal.

That's the slowest light I've ever seen considering light moves at 186,000 miles per second.
We shouldn't even be able to see the beam of molten metal.
*snaps out of it*
Wait, it's a game, silly me!

Alright alright, I've read the damn codex
Would've been nicer to get a straight answer instead of mostly asinine responses, but whatever

This....I seriously wish I had the ability to "Gibbs smack" people in the back of the head every time they asked a question that could be answered by the Codex. Take some f***ing time and read them instead of being so focused on "Zomg I havvvve to shootz thingz to gets to the next partz!!!"
So yea, AntiChri5 took the words right out of my mouth lol.

Gibbs was Shepard before there was a Shepard.
