These Warp Blades?
Don't think they're getting attached to a Legionary until we invest some research in making them more useful than an omni-blade.

So can't find the newer tech research tree since the link on the front page doesn't seem to work anymore though the old one still does. Is there anywhere else that has it?

I believe one of our last actual chapters pointed out the Reason they were ineffective was because most Omni-tools were incapable of actually Generating one.
Which is why we were starting work on Omni-fool 2.0. Give the world a better Omni-tool.
Doesn't that mean legionnaires could use a nice power weapon? Revy is a fan of warhammer 40k. So I would not be surprised if she gets inspired to make a power weapon due to the influence of 40k.

She made video games for her 40k addiction.
Huh, there's a thought. Something Revy does for fun is make Video games.
Hell, we basically support the ANI/BNI e-sports league single handedly, but we haven't really made any games for it.
Anyone up for writing an omake or two about Revy building a video game? Withinput from all her friends?

VR video game company? VR LOL and Starcraft?
Doesn't Revy have more than enough money to buy Games Workshop?

VR nothing, recall the little crippled girl who used a living doll as a replacement body? The one we gave a free Captain America treatment to fix her health issues?
We made a game that lets you build a customized hero/monster, and battle for supremacy in miniature. All hose miniature landscapers must be filled with an unholy glee over how there landscapes can now be used.

create a tiny to scale miniature model of the galaxy? complete with planets with actual miniature cities and working infrastructure?

No, that's too far into godhood, pull it back.
I just wanted Revy to create a few video games for fun.
I mean, she actually Did end up creating a few AI with her more long running sim world games, but that was all.

Revy already did that IIRC. She had to shut it down because the simulated NPCs were developing signs of self-awareness.

BRILLIANT! Previous idea of model galaxy with AI to act as God!
....we just made the perfect galaxy simulator to predict the future didn't we? especially if we one time hack the entire galaxy for info to feed the AI.
edit: AI/Geth children for Revy? Make her mom into a grandma

That was already happening, seeing as Revy was apparently adopting Jack. I think.
Unless we somehow convinced Mom and Pop Shepard to adopt Jack.
Actually, do we know how the Geth and the Quarians are being affected by PI tech?
The Geth may still be isolating themselves. But, I would imagine that the Quarians have already purchased Arc Reactors as well as other examples of PI tech for their eventual attempt to retake Rannoch. Is it possible for the Quarians to even make their power armor with their limited resources? The Quarians would definitely like the idea of power armor considering that their soldiers can die from a paper cut, while fighting on the surface of another planet.

It's nano-machines, think Iron Man in Infinity wars where he could create armor from within his body except it does a bit more.

I'm pretty sure movie and comic extremis are completely different.
Rip out a Reaper's heart and eat it? ... Kinda want to do that regardless.
Might not be inaccurate, either: the Reapers use nanites to huskify people, don't they? Stealing their tech is probably how we unlock it.

No pretty sure I remember the QM mentioning that the reason it's locked is due to it being illegal. Since we have access to the Iron Man tech and he does use nanobots in several iterations including the Infinity War movie makes sense that we can research it.

Transforming mecha were on the tech tree IIRC, but I think we'd want something more like the ones in Macross (I never actually watched Macross).
It's supposed to be a walker that shifts into a spaceplane, but most operators treat it as a spaceplane that shifts into a walker. Just because you've built it doesn't mean it's practical!
E: Different tiers of mecha sizes are on the tree, up to 500m, and "Transforming Systems" is elsewhere on the three.

Well, sort of. In both the comics and MCU Tony never makes the initial discoveries that give rise to Extremis; that's all on Maya Hansen and Aldrich Kilian. Tony "only" takes the original version and modifies/enhances it. I suspect, mostly because of how the narrative has gone so far, that it's going to take being exposed to / infected with Huskbots before Revy will be allowed to research Extremis, similar to how Tony was forced to modify Extremis to save his own life in the comics. After all, Hoyr had made clear that he was going to keep introducing events that force Revy to get out of the lab occasionally and they can't all be as "easy" as an invasion of her home planet.
Further, in Shepard Quest, it would make sense for there to be more to Extremis being locked than it being illegal; if that were the only problem then all of our AI techs would be similarly locked, because until and unless the Council grants us an exception it's also illegal to study AI. I think that Project Lazarus would also be considered illegal enhancement technology, but I'm not really sure about that one.
I realize that neither of these arguments are definitive, but I think the balance of probability is on my side.
Yes, although the real killer app for transforming systems is going to be a Variable Weapon System (eg. Mega Man) and things like Hulkbuster, where on-site repairs and reinforcement can be done in combat; the mechs transforming into spaceplanes is more of a cinematic gimmick.
Citation please. You need a license to make AIs, yes, and that makes at least some sense. There were AI killings directly in the wake of geth rebellion, yes.BUt I very much would like a quote saying that sapient AIs are required by law to be killed. Especially given that Citadel sent diplomatic ships into geth space on several occasions.
1) Reapers will not be "holding back". And yes, the weight of bodies is going to be an issue. Reapers capturing our technology, capturing our infrastructure is worse than them destroying it. And that's assuming it's easy to destroy it. Because, again, a ship in FTL transit is invulnerable. To make a habitat perfectly invulnerable you just need to put it into FTL transit at low velocity (something like 1.00000(0)1 C) with somewhat randomized flight path. Bam! No one can do anything to it.
2) Everyone in the setting avoids doing it because garden worlds are a rare premium. Thus reinforcing my point that space habitats are the logical next step.
3) And you understatement what kind of damage a non-core world colony can sustain.
4) I don't remember those complains, but, even giving this to you, and even conceding drell, we are still left with elcor (require high gravity planets), volus (require high pressure ammonia-based biospheres), hanar (require aquatic planets)
5) Habitats are more optimal, and, in the mass implementation, economic, for everyone, than planets. I fully expect planets to remain the main center of population for the next several centuries, but I also very much want to push for further colonization using space habitats, and to encourage emigration from planets to habitats.
