[@SolidAvenger1290]

@@justvid366 it's a very sad shame that EA/Bioware decided to not implement a fleet strategy, unlike what King Theoden did, pulling almost a 1683 Battle of Vienna strategy/Polish Winged Hussars charge to save Gondor/Christian Europe from the Ottomans. Too busy rushing the multiplayer elements of the Mass Effect and not having a solid ending to ME3. Commander Shepard could have played a strategy game like Thrawn in Star Wars, deploying the fleet on how to attack tactically and succeed in penetrating the Reaper forces at Earth.

I really liked how it looked but - friendly fire via collisions probably massive in that lol - any projectiles fired over earth that missed, is well, doom for the population below. (they fired MANY) that is all. Really cool battle nonetheless. One of top 10 space battle for me

[@VaciliNikoMavich]

Honestly its still eerie to me: Cerberus was becoming and would became the New Collectors. If everyone else was killed or enslaved to become husks and such, they'd have the Omega 4 base or something similar, and likely be rewritten, and the cycle begins again, except its the remnants of humanity being the drone slaves this time.

[@hydraman246]

*The pattern has existing more times than you can fathom*

[@jmlaw8888]

One more reason Mass Effect 2s story sucked. Can you imagine if theyd actually taken the time to write your cooperation with Cerberus as far more sinister and contentious? They kept adding handwaves and useless gestures but they should have confronted it more openly and made you question if stopping the collectors was most important. I mean the illusive man sacrificed an entire colony and potentially your former teammate and all you can do is whine a little about it afterwards until its brushed off as a "necessary evil".

[@VaciliNikoMavich]

@@jmlaw8888 Kinda wish depemdong on the player's decision or disposition, they could be still.working with Cerberus in the third game (sorry i think Cerberus looks AWESOME in game three) but like...break away from Illusive Man, once Shep realizes "Wait you've been indoctrinated the whole time?!" (BECAUSE HE WAS HIT BY THE ARCA DEVICE ON PALAVAN, VIA A COMIC) and manages to convince people who are willing to listen, that Illusive Man doesn't have best intentions in mind. So you work to stop the reapers YOUR way, perhaps even with your ME2 teammates joining you too.

[@WoolliestGaming]

I know this is way late. But I'm sure that was the Reapers plan. Cerberus already had a crap ton of Reaper Artifacts, and the Illusive man was already obsessed with them at the beginning of ME2. Pretty sure the Reapers planned to have Cerberus be the next collectors after the base exploded. Explains why Harbinger said the Collectors have outlived their usefulness.

I just realized, a lot of people were unhappy that even in legendary they still did not show the geth fleet turning up at earth for the battle.for earth, just a line by joker saying they reported in. Nor did they show up with the shield fleet escorting the crucible either. Perhaps they were sent to crucial relays away from the sol system to prevent reaper reinforcements from other systems from joining the final battle. My reasoning for this is because they likely possessed the highest number of dreadnoughts left after the reaper invasion given that the geth were never bound by the treaty to limit their number of dreadnoughts and as machines could have churned out massive numbers of such ships over the years in secret. Hence they would make the best blockading force for the battle.

[@2018_Toyota_Prius]

They makes a lot of sense, honestly. Still would’ve liked to see them in the battle, especially if you worked to make sure both the Geth and quarians join the fleet.

Besides the loss of the council, there is actually an interesting change that’s not very noticeable. If you save the Council, then you later gain the Destiny Ascention as a war asset. If you leave them to die, then you don’t get it... but the numbers don’t reflect this until you pay attention to the details. The Alliance would balance out the loss of the Ascention because you never lost the Fleets destroyed during that battle, thus balancing out the numbers. An interesting fact I missed the first few times playing this completely years ago.

[@helpmereach690subscribers3]

[@dillonma4957]

You can’t build a fleet in 3 years. The systems alliance was unable to replace 8 cruisers in that time. Modern ships take years to build, even if they fully invested, it would take time to train crews and land forces, build weapons and ships, organize them with competent officers, all on a hunch by Shepard

[@andrews.5212]

Is the most tactically sound strategy. The ascension and the remain citadel fleet can absorb the geth warship while the fresh alliance ship can concentrate on THE BIGGEST THREAT TO THE GALAXY. Or you can jeopardize your ability to smash sovereign by saving A ship. Also because fuck xeno. They have not earn the alliance help. Less Asari and Turian ships mean more power for the Alliance.

[@BringDHouseDown]

@@andrews.5212 no man that is not tactically sound at all concentration of force, you use the human fleet to help the citadel fleet survive, you end up with more ships than what you will lose, hurt though but can still fire, they can hang back, then you concentrate on THE BIGGEST THREAT TO THE GALAXY without having to worry about a lack of firepower and remaining Geth ships flanking you from behind (if you listen closely when the battle is over and the camera pans to inside the tower, you can hear ships still firing and battle taking place outside, meaning there were still Geth ships outside regardless of paragon or renegade options, but I bet there would be less Geth ships still lingering in the fight with the Paragon option)

[@Abrxas01]

Not.... really? You gotta think, if Sovereign is successful the fleet and the galaxy is pretty much f'd no matter if you save the ascension or not. Taking out Sovereign on the other hand means the Geth will more than likely retreat. Throwing away forces to save a ship simply because it has a council that sat on it's hands even after they were warned repeatedly, or use everything you have cause even then you don't know it's going to be enough? Answer is simple. Council can get stuffed since they could have taken any number of steps to help prevent or mitigate this problem. Lame duck leadership at it's finest.

It also doesn't make sense from a purely selfish reason. Saving the Destiny Ascension, even at great cost, showed that Humanity was capable of putting the needs of the galaxy at large over the needs of their own. Much of the council races saw humanity as arrogant and selfish, demanding a seat at the council when they had only just reached the stars. The sacrifice made by the Alliance fleet showed that Humanity was willing to make the commitment to their allies.

I always thought it was a wasted opportunity to have a few side missions where you controlled the Normandy or a fighter to take out enemy forced especially at the end of 2 and several times in 3.

The Normandy alone takes out MILLIONS of Geth during Legion's loyalty mission in ME 2 with a simple button press. And in ME 3, the Geth lose or almost lose (depending on your choices) against the Quarians, despite the Geth having the advantage of the defenders and the Quarians having no ressources and no real battleships.

During the playtrhough down on Earth see Krogan, the criminals from Omega and the Rachni doing something, showing that their pressence was key to achieve some objective, in space see all the types of ships fighting, see one or two Reapers be destroyed to show that the fleets weren't just fodder, at least see one of the Leviathan fighting a Reaper.

[@Razaiel]

[@Shadowkey392]

Ummm...they DO have guidance systems. They’re called “computers”. As for the guns...well, I don’t know if you’re aware of this, but there are these things called the “Laws of Physics” which basically mean guns HAVE to bed fired line-of-sight. And when you’re up against fighters, yeah, guns probably aren’t the best, but when you’re up against LARGER ships? Such as in, say, a fleet battle? Guns are actually pretty effective. Railguns in particular, like the Alliance uses (I think) would be EXTREMELY effective.

[@alfstewart9585]

And where's theire weapons of mass destruction, surely a nuke would scratch a reaper

[@cordar7547]

They do have guidance systems, but BioWare's terrible when it comes to depicting space battles. Which is why the in-game codex is actively considered higher canon than the cut scenes when it comes to gauging and discussing the feats in Mass Effect. One particular example in the codex is a mention of the Battle of Rannoch where the Quarians shot down Geth stations in Rannoch's orbit from behind the system's star. That being said, every ship class has an effective range for their guns. Dreadnoughts for example can reliably hit moving targets from thousands of kilometers away. As for why they are only using guns, it's because missiles and fighters are useless within the setting for the most part. The reason being the existence of kinetic barriers and GARDIAN systems - the latter of which are basically point defense laser guns with 100% accuracy rate, which causes battles involving anything smaller than a frigate versus a warship to boil down to battles of attrition where up to dozens of sacrificial waves are sent and promptly blown up until the opposing GARDIAN systems overheat - at which point the warship can simply jump out to the nearest suitable atmosphere to vent excess heat, making all the sacrifices made to destroy it all for nothing. (Which is also why no one ever built dedicated Carriers before the SA showed up, because dedicating entire ships to deploying mass swarms of kamikaze fighters was seen as wasteful) Which plays a large part in why mass accelerators are the main weapons used. Oh, and as a side note: Nukes don't work in space.

[@SargeRho]

The forward-firing weapons are spinal mounted, they're too big to fit on a turret. So, fixed in place and aiming with the whole ship, it is.

[@GUMMRUCHK]

Always found it hilarious how completely worthless the Citadel fleet was in the first game you'd think it would be one of the most heavily guarded places in the galaxy but nope. lmao

[@Trattato68]

I believe the reason is because no one (of the species present) would be so idiotic as to attack the Citadel head-on because after that it would face the full Turian fleet.

[@TheGenericDavis]

It IS one of the most heavily guarded places in the galaxy, if not the most. Codex entries state that the Destiny Ascension is the largest ship of any Council race, and the Turians lose 20 cruisers even when you immediately rush to assist them. Sovereign is just WAY more powerful than what they had on hand because Reapers are much more advanced, and Council intelligence services weren't tracking this unknown mega-dreadnought the way they previously keep tabs on ship movements of other races, so they have no idea they need to bring every ship they have to the Citadel right away. It's like if there was an aircraft carrier group along with some additional escort vessels parked right off the coast of Washington D.C., but then some undiscovered Chinese carrier 5 times the size of anything the US owns came out of nowhere for a decapitation strike on the US government.

[@GUMMRUCHK]

@TheGenericDavis Clearly not. Palaven was attacked by numerous Reapers yet held out far better same for the Asari. The Citadel defenses are obviously just weak.

[@BillyYankYT]

I think people hate the council unfairly, they are literally the leaders of galaxy civilization, trillions of lives on in their hands. They have to balance so much, I don't think they really ever didn't believe Shepard about the Reapers, everyone after ME1 basically started getting ready for the Reapers, but do you realize how much chaos would happen if the galaxy found out the Reapers are coming to kill everyone and there is nothing to do to stop them.

[@Batou3]

They claim humanity is a brave and bold ally. Yet when humans come for help the council expects them to handle their own problems.

Mass effect 3 is the BEST ONE

[@hydraman246]

2 is better because you can actually see your investments being used, unlike 3 which is just alternate endings

[@heomji7216]

@@hydraman246 ME3 has the most epic vibes and more emotional moments than ME2 and ME1. It has major moments where you really have an impact on the Milky Way, mostly the Genophage plot on Tuchanka and the war of Rannoch between Geth and Quarians. It also has the best gameplay and better DLCs than the other games. Without forgetting the best Normandy appearance, really good character interactions (but I admit, there are more interactions in ME2) and THOSE EPIC SPACE BATTLES MAN.

[@HamanKarn567]

I like the combat the best and the weapons are the best imo but I hate how you fight Cerberus more than the actual reapers and also should have had more missions that felt like big battles rather than small raids. Also should have been able to utilize assets in said missions and depending on actions and how fast you are in the battles you can save those assets or get them killed.
