Starting my 3rd playthrough today, I realised it really isn't explained (at least I can't remember) how does the Collector ship detect Normandy every time, even though we should have the stealth technology. I bet is has something to do with reaper technology, but nevertheless, I can't remember coming by with an explenation.

The basis behind "stealth" technology on ships etc (As with the stealth bomber IRL) is that (for the most part) all that is really going on is that the heat emissions are being "hidden" from radars. So the collectors may have some sort of tech that sees right through this little facade.

[Biotic_Warlock]

I think that the stealth technology and what it does to be stealthed, is the wrong type to hide from the collectors, it would be like stealthing from heat sensors against a motion sensor.

Yes I know, but the stealt is desinged to KEEP the heat and radiation INSIDE the ship so it shouldn't be giving any sings of life. And Normandy was a state-of-art warship, a prototype which should have perfected this technology

[ItsFreakinJesus]

Because the Collectors can still visibly see the Normandy. Pressure sensors could detect the Normandy as it touches the vessel, so on and so forth.



The stealth system in the Normandy does nothing but hide heat emissions, would would be easy to spot out in space.

As Warlock said...The collectors may have tech that tracks motion instead of just "heat" Making the Normandy's stealth system's worthless. You also have to realize that the reaper's technology is vastly superior to anything the alliance or anyone else has atm.

All the collectors are looking out their windows and can easily see it.

Who cares when the SR1 got blown up, we got a better and badass ship

Ain't she a beauty.

Ive seen this joke before... i usually followed up with something but i forgot when i saw this before.

I support a pitch black Normandy for ME3.

Normandy's stealth system only hides heat (infrared)/ radiation signatures.


Proton scanners or any other type of scanners could still pick it up.

Or maybe the Collectors just looked outside their windows

Just to say, distances in space are so HUGE you really could't spot a ship by looking out of any window, until it was very close. But just wanted to make sure there was no "official" explanation which I may have missed.

Edit: ahhh didn't see the irony

Well, remember that when they find the Normandy the first time, it had just come out of FTL Travel, at which point it cannot stealth and was basically a giant blue shifted beacon for Sensors. Once the Collector ship spotted them, it would have been easy enough to just maintain a Visual lock on them.

It's likely a trap, remember? They knew they would be coming here. Those two geth attacks are probably fakes.

I just pictured a collector looking through an old fashioned monocular for the normandy

I posted a theory that Cerberus had put a tracking beacon on the SR1 (As evident by TIM's "See to it we don't lose him" line. The Shadow Broker (probably) learned of it, and sold the information of this beacon to the Collectors, who then used it to know exactly where the Normandy was.

I admit that the most probable explanation is that the Collectors had superior tech, but I think the theory does "work"

The Sealth system was engaged after they exited FTL near the Planet. But while traveling FTL the ship would be very easily seen with standard detection meathods.

So they exit, the Collecters see them, the go Sealth, but the Collecters still know they are there and could just get a Visual lock on them. It wouldnt even have to be a window, a normal Camera could see them.
