Aside from reapers, of course. And I don't mean the most powerful either, but the most dangerous.

The fully upgraded SR-2 has:

It's stealth systems which allow it to venture into places other ships simply cannot, dropping off Shepard (most lethal person in the galaxy) and her team anywhere necessary.

The most advanced and cutting edge armor in the galaxy, constructed using carbon nanotube sheets woven with diamond Chemical Vapor Depostion.

It possesses Multi-Core Shielding, a relatively new and powerful shielding technology that, instead of simply acting as a barrier, actively slaps aside debris and incoming attacks.

The Thanix Cannon, technology ripped off from the turians (thanks Garrus!) which, as we know, is horrifically powerful. It's even scarier if you understand the science behind it.

And last, but far from least: EDI. While the rest of this technology comes together in a combination probably unheard of: the cannon is turian technology, the armor I believe is asari technology and the shields, I'm not sure where Tali got those. Wouldn't surprise me. Stealth systems were a human idea, constructed in an initial joint venture with the turians. Maybe she invented them. But with all this incredible technology, we have an incredibly sopisticated, AMICABLE anbd TRUSTWORTHY AI who can attack enemy ships with REAPER VIRUSES, shutting down their gravity, life support, power plants.. overloading their systems.. who kows what else.

So.. Considering all this.. the SR-2 is the most dangerous ship in the galaxy aside from the Reapers themselves...

Agree.. disagree..?

Sure until ME3 where it'll get one-shotted by Harbinger to make way for the SR-3, now with lounge and go faster stripes.

[SuperVaderMan]

The SR-2's gonna be the next Sovereign and Shepard is the next Saren... yep

[Avissel]

It would probably be able to stand up to pretty much any other ship, aside from a Dreadnought, in a 1 on 1 fight.

I think the shielding, armour and weapon tech that the Normandy has is cutting edge, but it's not unique. There will be other ships with those things. However, what really makes the Normandy dangerous is the stealth systems and, especially, EDI. The stealth alone makes it incredibly dangerous, and EDI makes it unique.

Not to mention Shepard's aboard, along with a group of galactic badasses.

I'm guessing that SR-3 will just be a "big goddam" reaper.

[HeavyTankZA]

The thanix cannon is actually tech the turians ripped off from the reapers...

[Riot Inducer]

Yeah the fully upgraded SR-2 is a beast in every way; stealthy, tough, and packs a mean punch (Thanix cannons are said to give even frigrate sized ships dreadnaught firepower.)



Yeah at the end of ME2 Shepard is sitting pretty well with this thing at his/her command, and it'll only get better no doubt when we get the Hammerhead to add to the motor pool.

[CajunRexShepard]

Of course it is, but even a poorly maintained shuttle in this game would be dangerous so long as shepard and co. were aboard... It is the epitome of frigates, easily, and with the combination of such cutting edge tech, an AI, a badass pilot, and easily the most dangerous living creature alive commanding her, can win a confrontation just by showing up due to its rapidly growing legendary status moreso than anything installed or anyone involved.



This claim though... cannot be confirmed nor denied with any certainty since there are precious few examples of the capabilities of other starships in the galaxy... sure, we saw the Destiny Ascension and claims where made about what it was capable of, but no hard data existed to prove it one way or the other. Same could be said of any turian or alliance ship mentioned, and there is even less raw data about the fleets of the batarians, salarians, quarians, etc...



But yes, because it was a prototype co-developed at GREAT cost then upgraded beyond that, I'd still lean towards Normandy-II as the most dangerous ship in known space.

Aside from possibly the shielding technology, I noted this above. What seems to be unique is the combination. No one else possesses all three technologies together. But yes, combining those along with its stealth systems and EDI.. wow.

[HeavyTankZA]

in short, the Normandy SR-2 is one hell of a ship.



needs more cowbell though...

[TekFanX]

Don't forget the Power-core that somehow gives me the feeling it was once part of Nazara/Sovereign.

I want my shepard to ride a human reaper into battle!

It's definitely up there. It's got amazing defense and offense, as well as stealth capabilites. EDI is a *major* part too. She can handle cyber warfare, and since AIs are illegal, running into another AI ship will be pretty rare.

[GuardianAngel470]

It may not be able to out gun a dreadnought (but it should with the thanix cannon) but it sure as hell can outmaneuver one, and that alone makes it a force to be reckoned with. With EDI, the stealth systems, and all of the upgrades I say it could take out a small fleet singlehanded. The other ships would never have a firing solution because of the stealth systems.

She successfully hacked a collector ship and the collectors are more advanced than any of the council races (accordig to ascension). collector technology and reaper technology appears to be separate, for the record.

My point: If Normandy got into a fight against multiple enemy ships and would otherwise be in danger without her.. I think she would even the odds. Having ships in your fleet spontaneously shut down or melt down around you would be demoralizing, at least.

That's why humans are awesome. This kind of **** shows a decadent galaxy that sticking to major fleets and established technologies while sitting on your ass can get you owned when the major battle begins.

You humans are all racist.

I think it actually shows that the Illusive Man is very rich.

[Ultra Prism]

its a bad ass ship and probably most advanced ship built around that time... I wonder the Alliance is building another Normandy since they lost one and they know how valuable it is.... may be in ME3, the alliance gives Shepard a even better SR-3 .... bigger and more powerful and probably optical camouflage stealth systems with mass effect stealth ... making it most stealth ship ever built .... anything is possibly..

[Beechwell]

Apart from the stealth system I see no reason to believe that other warships don't use a similar, possibly even better mix of technology. Larger state of the art ships can probably outperform the Normandy in both firepower and durability.

The stealth system is of course its big advantage; but I wouldn't rule out the possibility that the Turians may be able to copy the tech, depending on how close the cooperation was when building the Normandy.

I don't know how much better EDI is compared to VI in her virtual warfare abilities, so I'll leave that open. I'm certainly not convinced of her loyalty. That is, the EDI persona we know is probably loyal to Shepard, but I would suspect that TIM may have built some routines into her to ensure loyalty if necessary.

And I'm not sure about Shepard being the "most lethal person in the galaxy" either. (S)he is the right person in the right place, but I would imagine certain powerful Krogans or Asari matriarchs to be potentially more lethal in direct combat.

Of course, in gameplay terms, any character controlled by the player is practically the most lethal person in the galaxy.

You can occasionally hear a news story about a Normandy-class vessel completing an assignment on the news. I doubt the alliance's Normandy-class vessels are more advanced than the SR-1.

[marshalleck]

EDI alone guarantees that the SR-2 is the most dangerous ship in the galaxy, at least of those built by contemporary species. If she could hack a Collector ship, a rudimentary VI onboard any normal frigate or dreadnought would offer almost no protection at all.

EDI is awesome.

no it isnt the most dangerous ship in the galaxy, yes whilst it is very technologically advanced it is only a frigate ad couldnt stand up against the everest, destiny ascention, or harbinger. and it only survived the collector ship attack through, manouverabilty. the thanix cannon is tech stolen from the turians, which was adapted from sovreigns weapon, (its the same type as the red lasers it used agianst the citadel fleet). it is by far the best in its class. but its IES stealth system will not hide it from the collectors or the reapers.
