Try this, it'll at least get you SC2. And I've sometimes had luck with Gog versions when Steam versions don't work, but I'd only grab the SC1 Gog version - use UQM for SC2, there's mods and everything!
I want a Discworld / Mass Effect crossover. The shear amount of dropped jaws as they discover what the discworlders live on would shake the Citadel to pieces.
Ooh, linky once it's posted? The other thing we maybe-figured-out on the thread I first posited that is that it's possible all the Reapers do use ship-scale biotics already, just only Barriers and self-Stasis to tank stuff far in excess of what their shields or hull can, which is why once Sovereign's concentration was broken when Shepard's team took down puppet-Saren and he was rebooting, all of a sudden the fleet's weapons could actually hurt him when they had just been bouncing off before - and he was killed before he could bring those defensive biotic abilities back online.
Quite possible. But it's still a very weak showing compared to a Reaper opening up a naval battle by going Biotic Charge! Singularity! Full Broadside & Shockwave!
Oh yeah, definitely - I'm the one that brought up biotic Reapers recently in the first place, I'm 100% behind canon Reapers falling far short of what they could have been. Just thought I'd bring it up, as it was kinda a revelation on the thread it happened in that Sovereign going down like a chump after puppet-Saren was defeated might have been what little remained in the final game of perhaps-planned biotic Reapers. Also, if Bioware had've done this, it could've explained at least some of the difference between Codex space battles and cutscene ones, in that yes, the Citadel forces would have preferred a long-range artillery duel, but Sovereign bulled right into the middle of them and opened up in multiple directions with both weapons and biotics because that's what you can do if you really know eezo, yet it goes against all training and doctrine for Citadel forces. But instead Bioware in later space combat kept with the knife-fighting stuff even when no Reaper was around, completely invalidating what the Codex claims about space battles.
I'm having horrible flashbacks to the shocking disappointment of watching a cavalry charge down the outside deck of a Star Destroyer...
Nods approvingly, then gets on with ...I've added forward/backward links to the side story chapters to make it easier to navigate now. That should make people nod approvingly then go on with their lives...
Life, in other words.
Welp, I'm off to binge a new fic. See ya all later!
Missing a threadmark.
Now I'm thinking of ship-girl in Mass Effect
As far as 99.9% of the human population is concerned, there is literally no difference between those two genres. And they're not wrong. Both are just random noise that ignores all theories of composition as long as whatever sounds are used feel good when you're high on Ecstasy.
I suspect that normal ME shields could be readily adapted to bend light around a ship, but that such measures would need to be prepared well ahead of time and require a great deal of potentially restricted knowledge.
Is there any actual reason why one couldn't stand up such power simply by warping space around the ship in order to as a result bend the path of light that would otherwise hit the ship? This could probably also deflect most unguided munitions. Of course actually pulling something like that off would be power intensive, require a lot of time to put together , and require ridiculously advanced knowledge and research much of which would in the ME universe probably be restricted.
I'm on mobile so I can't see it, can I get a link please?
Because that much energy at any focusable density would be hitting a larger surface area then an average planet, so unless you can warp an area larger then the size of Neptune around your ship, you will still be caught in the beam.
If they could do that why don't they do the same thing to bend all projectiles around the ship? Gravetic effects that bend light paths also bend the paths of stuff slower than light at least as much.
