be like independence day where shepard plants a virus in their mother ship and knocks them all out. then they just do cleanup

[binaryemperor]

assuming each reaper lives forever and they build one each 50,000 year cycle, there are 750 minimum. At least if I remember right. I did some MATH and SCIENCE on it once.

anywhere from 750 to 30,000

what exactly are you talking about? I would like to know where your getting this info, and what kind of math you tied in to get such a number.

[tango jack]

To get a minimum figure you could say that the oldest known Reaper tech is 37 million years old so if you divide that number by 50,000 then you get 740 Reapers at the very least.

How many where created before that time who knows?.

I wonder if the independence day type method might work here. Am thinking shepherd might lure em near a star, and then blow up the star, catching them all in the blast wave.

Either of those scenarios would be kind of lame.

I think the whole plot of ME3 is to keep them trapped in darkspace. There's no way the galaxy could stop them if they make it into the galaxy, even if all of the races joined forces and had a million high powered Thanix cannons on their dreadnoughts. That, or we'd have to figure out a way to stop them from coming through all at once, so we could funnel them through a relay and pick them off one at a time.

Yep, another war by proxy, I think. There's no way there could be a full on war with the Reapers that wasn't massively anticlimactic. They don't have any justifications to nerf the Reapers anyway, since they've already shown off what Sovereign can do.

The geth we fought on Haestrom were Heretics...

Over 9000

There are 300 of them ( yes, Spartan reference and all ) in the final clip of ME2.

If one was to put together the fleet of every race in the galaxy then we probably would come with around:

- 150-200 Dreadnoughts : The Citadel races have around 100 put together, the Quarians I think have a dozen or so with the Geth about the same and the various Terminus races a few dozen as well.
- 4000- 6000 Cruisers: Estimate considering the Citadel Battlegroup in the final battle of ME1, which had around 20 Cruisers and a single Dreadnought
- Hundreds of Thousands of Frigates and Fighters : Hard to come with an estimate here, especially considering that frigates are also used by many civilians, and are very common among pirates, mercs.

where exactly did you get that info that the oldest known reaper technology is 37 million years old? I never ran across that in game, I would like to know. It's interesting.

In Mass Effect 1, there is a biotic cult taking up residence somewhere in the system of Century in the Hawking Eta cluster. One of the planets of that system is Klendagon, where you can read a planet description of a large, unnatural rift that some theorize was the result of a mass accelerator weapon striking the surface some 37 million years ago.

That's what Mass Effect 1 tells you, anyway.

Not enough to stop Shepard!

[OneBadAssMother]

Big bang theory...(best available measurements in 2009 suggest that the initial conditions occurred around 13.3 to 13.9 billion years ago[3][4])

So let's say 13 billion years ago, that would make up to 260,000 reapears - if they produce one every 50,000 years. But that is assuming they came from the first life forms ever, and that's also assuming that the universe has formed by that time. Best guess, probably around 200,000.

Another thing however... Reapers arent living in the milky way. So maybe they harvest other galaxies too... and there are currently a good number around. So... maybe even 1,000,000 reapers...

Heck no idea...

And it's explained a bit further in 2, but the time the shot scarred the planet =/= creation of the first Reaper.

The Derelict reaper that you visit in legions recruitment mission is said to have been there for that amount of time and to have been taken out by a mass accelerator weapon of ancient origin.

I think it was the illusive man that states that the battle took place when mammels took their first steps on earth and the age is mentioned I think by him or somewhere else. ( It is confirmed to be that old ) so thats where I got the 37 million years from.

P:S when I reach that part on my next playthrough i,ll pay attention to the exact wording of the conversation.

[Dethateer]

Yes, 37 million years ago is the time that skirmish took place. It has no bearing whatsoever on how old teh Reapers are (besides telling us that they were alive and kicking organic ass back then).

[VampireCommando]

i remeber a similar topic on this a while ago and someone from BioWare actully said that theres around 100,000 reapers, its not too hard to belive since the Flotila alone consists of 50,000 ships

It is, however, the oldest known evidence that the Reapers existed at least 37 million years. They may be older, but there's no evidence of it. Yet.
