And no, the Lion **** was shinier because it had less dirt and veggies in it.Originally posted by Apostle's Message ReduxShepard understood.

Miranda had regaled him with stories of how horrible 20th century Earth sounded in her history lessons and it made him leery. "I agree, god knows what would happen if Grunt got loose."

Giving Daedalus a million drones and the capability to rebuild them ON ship takes away teh fun too. It's like playing Fallout 3 or Mass Effect 2 with unlimited ammunition, you lose tension and that wow factorOriginally posted by Apostle's Message ReduxShepard understood.

Adding ammo made you think more, instead of just spamming with an assault rifle or pistol, you had to time your shots, and make sure they counted. the removal of having so many powers at your disposal made it more about how you fight then which power is the best. Try playing ME2 on insanity as a Vanguard. It's next to impossible since you have to rely on your team's offensive powers and unlimited ammo (they only do like athird damage or something) while you watch their backs. It's much more squad oriented since it's difficult for one class to take on any situation (except maye Soldier or Infiltrator)
As far as dozens of reactors, the point is the Daedalus has been shown to be able to handle ZPM levels of power, and Naquadah reactors only blow when we program them to. So what's so difficult about putting a ton of them to power the shields or APBW? I don't get how that would make the ship anymore prone to explode.Originally posted by Apostle's Message ReduxShepard understood.

Instead of going to an ammo system enhance the enemies defenses.
Games like X-men Legends (the original) had the enemies resistant to certain attack forms.
Mass Effect could have done Biotic Resistance would equivalent to the psychic resistance.
Don't just give Krogan Fortification for short periods of time.
AI in both Mass Effects need to be upgraded BIG TIME. Stupidest AI's ever.
Singularities need to affect everyone not just the enemy. They should attract bullets as well for a make shift shield.
(By the Way the Singularity was the unstoppable weapon in ME 2 and 1)
Truly they allready had the proper countermeasure...the overload and tech dampeners and shield dampeners nullified a lot of the advantages it's just your common enemies almost never used them.

What i'm saying is that while it's "feasible" it's not balanced or "cool". It reminds me of those dual warp core ship with like a billion torpedo and phaser cannons. Think the heavy dreadnaught version of Voyager in that episode where the Doctor gets trapped for 900 years on a planet and has to clear voyagers name)Originally posted by Apostle's Message ReduxShepard understood.
