Honestly making them dependent on us for training solutions seems significantly less self sustaining than what military units have been doing since professional armies became a thing. Was the semi meant to be a plus over regularly sustaining?
Vorcha aren't just largely uneducated, they have short life spans and a physiology that actively encourages a higher level of danger seeking behavior than most sapience. Most applicable programs want to train Vorcha to do a specific thing, and if they're successful the Vorcha can take over some or all of the training process to speed things along after a generation or two, but doesn't let them branch out from said program due to not having enough time to learn things the 'proper way', or any native certification and educational programs of their own.
Their average life time is 20 years, probably comparable to Salarians who rarely reach 40, possibly better as we see them constantly in violent dangerous jobs and squalid conditions probably lowers their life expectancy significantly. Yet nobody raises that critisms against the galaxies best scientists.
What no. On both accounts.
Salarian average lifespan is not known, however it is less than 40 because that age marks an unusually old one. If 40 for Salarians is equivalent to a human living to 100, then their 80 would be around 32, and their 60 (a common life expectancy in developing countries) would be 24. So as I was saying, if you adjust for the fact that Salarians have access to healthcare whereas Vorcha are used as child soldiers by mercenary groups and are grabbed from abandoned parts of spaceships, its likely that their lifespan is quite similar.
That seems a bit odd considering Arcologies are existing technology with Earth:
Eden Prime:
Illium:
and Nervos:
all explicitly have Arcologies on them. I can understand having to research various weapons/starship technology since that would be heavily classified and humanity is probably behind the ball anyway. However I can't see why a common, albeit expensive, piece of civilian technology would need research. After all worst comes to worst we could literally just pay someone to build them for us if somehow our construction company didn't already know how.
you are correct my mistake, did not remember those from the game so it slipped my mind. Alright another thing to add to the building list, and a research project from Revy Improved Arcologies.
Literally in the UberJJK's "Proposed Plan Safe Expansion"
They have no reason to hold anything in reserve at this stage of the war. The moment they should've unveiled such tech was at the start of the war, when their navy was pushing the SA on all fronts and all the periphery human worlds were exposed to raiders.
They might be building up enough Husks to bumrush the SA. Or they're saving that little surprise for the SA's/Citadels counter-invasion.
Part of my concern about stasis plate is that for adequate protection, it would have to cover and be active for a very substantial portion of the armor, especially against the light-speed attacks which can be difficult to detect in advance. If that's the case and they need to be sustained for long periods of time, dumping all the heat accumulating behind the stasis plate into atmos or ground could be difficult. Of course, this is far larger problem in starships, which is why I'm wondering whether starships can be equipped with stasis plate, just with them deactivated except when necessary.
Update tech tree at informational.
Don't think so.
feel free to go ahead.
Kinda low priority, but it would help if all the prose that each research option is in the information post's tech tree. Right now, I have to find past research vote updates to find them, and no doubt it's confusing to newcomers which each tech is for.
Aren't Husks previously human? They need a large source of humans in order to make lots of husks. They can make a lot of Cannibals though from Batarians.
