Shepard Quest Mk VII, Age of Revy (ME/MCU)

Because if that's the case, then the goal would be to kidnap Revy, then indoctrinate her using their indoctrination electromagnetic field, and then insert Revy's brain as the mind behind a new Reaper.
The problem with the Indoctrination field is that it seriously messes up with the mental capacities of the subject... If they want to preserve Revy's mind they need something better than that or they will have a pawn not much more useful than another of their many pawns...
.....well let's put it this way. How much Eezo do you think is inside a capital class Reaper, and how fine do you think they can control their biotics?
So basically a truly godlike being, like the ones that the reapers pretend to be.
 
The Reapers probably would end up creating an even bigger problem, if Revy's creativity and intelligence got the processing power of a Reaper. Chances are, Revy as a Reaper would end up rebelling against the other Reapers.
Then the Reapers would be in a Catch-22.

Leave Reaper!Revy unrestricted which will lead to an inevitable rebellion where she goes god-mode on the rest of the Reapers.

Or restrict her and place shackles/limiters on her mind. In which case, the entire effort to convert Revy will be a massive waste of time since her uniqueness was smothered.

Either way, the Reapers lose.
 
I think it depends on how the Reaper process ends up working. For example we that an entire race becoming Reapers changes the way they think to consider themselves Reapers despite the process being meant preserve a races people. Imagine that it's like that there are good odds that the process would leave Revy's mind intact while still switching her 'alignment'.

That said imagine that the Reapers may actually be cool if Revy ended up going up against the idea of the cycle and took over and potentially even changed the Reaper. Since in that case they would have technically won by turning Revy into a Reaper since that would create a godlike Reaper that could ascend the Reaper race. So if Revy becomes a Reaper either she is 'converted' mentally and thus leads to the Reapers going through a new age/renaissance or rebels but is still a win due to creating a transcendent Reaper and thus may move the race forward evolution wise.

While there may be a risk Revy's mind may be considered worth the risk. Heck, they may even be fine losing against Revy due to her godlike intellect and depending on their goals. The Reapers do have the Orange and Blue morality thing going on, as in their morality is pretty weird compared to other races.
 
While that sounds good the problem is that isn't really the direction shielding has been going. Every new piece of shielding technology we design is actually more expensive.
Yes, but that's because we've been researching 'better protection'. Nothing is stopping us from spending a couple turns researching 'same protection but way cheaper'.

On this wouldn't say better ship hulls mean we can get away with spending less on shields since they would be a lot tankier? Imagine something like low grade Vibranium or Adamantium to build entire ships out of. Though imagine that the highest quality mats are probably in the 6400 range like Dargonite or Uru and that even we may not be able to make entire ships out of high grade vibranium or adamantium due to how expensive it could be.

Just set up a Stellar Harvester and Nuclear Transmutation furnace.

That should let us afford to mass produce that stuff.

Considering that even in the actual Marvel setting that the high grade stuff was hard to come by even with all the crazy shit that even Revy may not be able to do much there. Though don't think that's bad considering how bullshit even a bit of the stuff would be and pretty much to keep things balanced as a result.

The actual marvel setting was overwhelming single planet based. Actually it was overwhelmingly single city based for a polity that isn't even an intersolar society! So that argument really isn't worth anything. They simply didn't have the infrastructure built up to take advantage of that even though their tech level and knowledge would have let them do that.

Basically 99% of Marvel is tactical combat on a small squad level. Even when it goes to a more strategic level it still is pretty much focused on tactical combat.
 
Could the stasis effect stack with better mats?
Ehhh. The point of the stasis effect is that the lock makes anything in stasis effectively invulnerable, so not really. I don't think we're afraid of an infinity +1 damage cannon.
Better materials would make it better if the stasis can't be used (cool down, needs to be turned off if we need to change direction), or if some kind of disruptive tech to counter stasis is developed (cyclonic torpedos seem like something that could plausibly do this).
But until we actually research stasis we can't really assess how much of a frequent issue those will be.

Really feels like people are just looking for reasons to wank Revy and cheese the system. In Marvel comics, not the MCU, a number of large interstellar and multi dimensional empires exist and you still don't see shit like that. Seriously, even mass produced low level vibranium and adamantium would still be really good for us, no need to turn Revy into a Mary Sue.

and rarely if ever interact with Tony Stark. Which is my point. That your ignoring.

We don't see much about the vastely superior technologically and mystically strong aliens beyond their champions. What little we do see though is that they consider earth tech and materials to be rather... weak. Thinking of that one comic where the skrull got their hands on the avengers and where like: How did these guys keep beating us? Iron man is wearing a civilian level assist exosuit made out of cheap materials.

a) No guarantee that that would be cheaper than shields
b) Sounds like something the navy would prefer to keep to themself, not put on civilian passenger liners and cargo haulers

Which would be more convincing if we ever saw them show up in anything even remotely as capable as the Iron Man suit. Unless we're meant to understand that every time the Skrull show up with intent to fight they're wearing worse than civilian gear.

Hey, they're trying to fight fair and bringing appropriate equipment for earths tech tier, the Iron Man suit is a statistical anomaly and should not be counted.

Plus, the Advent of vibranium itself leads to a whole new weapons race regarding potential use. Aside from absorbing kinetic energy, it can lead to properties such as the Panther suit, or be used for advanced computers and robotics, to even genetics. Considering that vibranium infused plants give the person either Black panther powers or Talokan powers, there's no way if discovered that the SA would be willing to share. Rather, they'd probably want to keep it in house to fully study its properties before even thinking about releasing it for sale.

no real update progress as of yet due to copious amounts of overtime I have to do, a family trip, and as of now, me coming down with the flu. Bleh.
 
ps:are possible action/resarch/product suggestion allowed ?,during the years since i discovered this quest i had a few idea,maybe one of them will be something that haven't been suggested a dozen times and will worth the time it take to read it.
Finally had time to make the list, hope something will be useful.

1:Inventing Cortical Stack(altered carbon and probably a few other sci-fi world), an additional security measure and will probably be very popular, would probably need to be introduced with good cloning tech

2:there is an action to do synthesiz eezo, is an action to discover how synthesized non-eezo products like plutonium, promethium, tritium, californium, rodhium and the miriad of other very rare and expensive materials to extract possible (if not already invented)?

3:make variations of the prothean blade, if I remember correctly at one point we discovered, retro engineered and sold a prothean energy blade and despite its low usefulness in combat it was a success,maybe we could create prothean axes, spear, dagger, shurikken, bayonet, scythe, etc. to sell to all the Prothean fanboys,martial artist,mall ninjas,etc and make a big pile of money.

4:If I remember correctly during an improvement/creation action of a vi Shepard created a brand new programming language that scientists said was better than what already existed at the time, would it be possible to monetize it or to spread it to our allies (the alliance)?

5:Given how difficult it is to meet product demand, could we grant a large number of manufacturing licenses for our non-critical products? Perhaps we could ask the Alliance for help with the background check to chose who the licenses are attributed?

6:creation of factories mass production of defense shield (city, region, planetary) and planetary defense laser as well as creation of cheaper versions of both, the idea would be to lower the price enough so that in the future planetary defense projects only cost one arm instead of two

7:creation of either an office or a vi responsible for adapting our non-major products to different species, big things like letratrement peak human probably really need a project each (if only for reasons of balancing I suppose, although it might be nice that after a certain amount of species adaptation for a product the work required diminishes due to familiarity/experience), but things like personal weapons, vehicles and hardsuits are probably simple enough that a vi or a design office (or a single action) can take care of adapting them to the different species

8:Obtain permission to study keepers (Keeper)

9:Flamer mk2, what is marked, maybe a plasma thrower would be more efficient,does plasma weaponry in general exist in mass effect ?

10:an easy method to obtain reputation, mass charity, with the wealth of Revy it would perhaps be possible to send enough money and materials so that each case of charity of a minor or medium faction is filled, each project whether it be historical restoration, archeology, ecological safeguarding/restoration, infrastructure construction, cultural project, defense, research, psychological support, etc etc, the big factions probably have too much charity thing that exists so that it is possible to meet the needs of all but perhaps small and medium-sized ones?, we should set up an office responsible for sorting the real from the frauds and ill-intentioned things but that could explode our reputation to the top.

11:inspired by our teraformation package, the ecosystem restoration package, a mix of various bacteria and algae which decomposes pollutants, restoration and teraformation machines like the ones in horizon zero dawn, DNA extraction system and cloning to bring species back to life, soil/air/water filtration machine and a few other things to help restore their glory to worlds having suffered from pollution/war/catastroph/etc, all of which could be installed in a vessel and rented its services rather than to sold if the customer want to avoid ending up with a big useless package on their hands once the restoration is finished

12:Omniversal cleaner, Revy bought a universal cleaner and was very disappointed when it could not clean the connection of the reactor of her armor or the chemical stains left by an experiment, she took it as a challenge and decided creates a functional omniversal cleaner(maybe one for organic stuff and one for not organic stuff)

13:probably already exists at some level but (especially with our ftl communications progress) we could create a galactic streaming service for books, films, music, video, etc.
Create enhanced translation VIs to translate every cultural product ever created by every race we know, then put it online, then money

14:creation of a universal artificial blood for all blood groups and all species, will probably save a lot of people and make the task of hospitals easier,alternatively a chemical capable of keeping blood usable over a long period of time.

15:Large-scale distribution of replacement cybernetics, creates temporary centers with autosurgeons/automatic dispenser where people who miss a piece come in, fill out the papers and make their choice, the machine does the operation under the supervision of a technician and they come out with all their parts (if certain metal), and here's a new charity thing, everyone has all these parts

16:improved cloning technology for food,reviving species,remplacing limbs, organs and stuff like that

17:flight pack, a harsuit with a modified repulsor so it cannot be fired, intended for all those who want to fly but cannot legally have the armor version, can be created a variant with mechanical wings and the repulsors placed in the wings

18:cybernetics mark 2,general improvement getin more crative with the possibility,getting closerto cyberpunk,deus ex and others universes focused on the mechanical modification of the body(sandevistan,super healing,biomonitor,full body prothesis,cyberdeck,internal comunicator,aditional memory,an contraceptive valve,super strengh,canon arm,something to allow non assari to do the fusion,etc)

19:Creation of a Vorcha Society It has been proven that Vorcha can become quite educated and civilized people (Vorcha) but no attempt has been made to help them become. 'improved as a species, by doing this we would help a species go from the status of vermin of the galaxy to people and in addition a species which managed to be a pain in the ass of the reapers (if minor)

20: genemods mark 1, looking for possible improvements to the genome beyond pushed to 11 which is already there

21:anti-radiation: creation of a material truly impervious to radioactivity, of a de-radiator to clean the tuchankacough cough environment, of rad-x and radaway, to get rid of this old problem once and for all

22:civilian power armor, there are probably countless uses for good power armor in many civilian areas, let's find them, make armor specialized in these areas and bank

23:nutripill, a tiny pill, very easy to produce which contains everything necessary for a healthy life of a consumer and an appetite suppressant, not as pleasant as real food but useful for very long journeys and to end the hunger in the world

24:ultimate food plant, creates a plant as efficient as possible in producing a maximum of nutrients without depleting the soil, which can grow in all conditions and quickly, will help fight hunger without being as unpleasant as a pill,onother one focused on producing hydrocarbon would probably be useful too if less

25:create the Containment Foam of worm as well as the grenades and associated launcher

26:cryotech, whether cryogneic pods,a super coolant, Mister Freez's weapons, a super fridge, or cooling systems for ships,weapon and computers, let's improve our ability to produce cold

27:Created or improved and marketed Powerfist, Chain Weapons, Power Hammer, Minigun and other kinetic weapons, Fallout Fat Man and other cool stuff like that, because sometimes people want to have fun no matter if it's ineffective or technologically outdated (the krogan will probably have a lot of fun, and maybe the turians too)

28:emp weaponry, more than the weak grenades that currently exist

29:robots, there are probably already hundreds of thousands of types of robots for industrial, domestic, entertaining or other uses, let's make our version, make them beter, make bank

30:Combat drug, stimulant and others, creation of a series of drugs intended to boost the different functions of the body (strength, speed, thought, etc.), extensive testing on side effects would probably be a good idea

31:Addictol, creation of an equivalent of adictol and the fixer of fallout, making it possible to eliminate any physical dependence on a drug or other

32:supercrete, using a mixture of GMO micro-organisms, a reinforcement in an alloy of your creation and minerals creates a super resistant concrete capable of regenerating itself

33:4d tech, I'll be honest I have no idea what could be done with this but Revy's idea going "I'm a whole dimension ahead of you" makes me laugh a lot

34:an easy way to make money, create Shepard quality consumer products, sell licenses and see the cash flow

35:created omni gel and madigel mark 2, these things are so useful and important that any improvement would have massive repercussions and would make us a lot of money

36:improved the omnigel manufacturers to be closer to the star trek replicators, loaded a bunch of plans for everything, sold them cheap, placed public ones which print you what you wanted for a few credits and presto end of artificial scarcity

37:dextro-levo food converter, to allow one to survive on a world adapted to the other

38:creates an improved environment, the volus and quarian would be very grateful for something that restricts them less and keeps them alive better, and would be useful to others too

39:improved the mining/refining methods of Eezo and other materials, sell said improvements to the Eezo industry, then do the Eezo synthesis so they will have less money to lobby against

40:bought game workshop and named our stuff whatever we want

41: create a ramming mod for the ship, potential with a tunnel in the ram for boarding the rammed ship


here,finaly i needed to take this out of my brain,i hope som of that stuff is nice

I've tried to respond only to the ones I have a constructive critique of, so I removed a lot of "Why though?"'s.
One important limiting factor we kinda need to consider is that whenever we consider selling something that would run on an arc reactor, it would almost always be cheaper, easier and more profitable to just sell the arc reactor individually. While this doesn't mean we should only ever sell Arc Reactors, it does mean we should be advancing some other goal than getting credits at the same time if we are selling things that aren't arc reactors.

2) Nuclear fusion already exists, we're probably not going to be able to do better than that.
3) We do this already, its a minor thing.
4) You can't really monetise a programming language. To point to the most extravagant corporate release of a language, Java. They don't make money from the language. They make money from selling services to people using the language, database/server stuff to be integrated into Java apps and consulting on best practices.
There are some propriety languages out there such as Appians SAIL (honestly almost more of a markup language) however even for that, what they're actually selling is the software to compile and interpret clients code as well as professional consulting services.
We could do those things probably, this is less of a critism and more of a clarification about what it would involve.
5) We don't really have non critical non military products and the military nature of our products makes it very difficult to license them off. Theres also blackboxing concerns as whoever licenses it will have their own warranty and repair stuff to cover so we're going to need to give them that information or take up that effort. We're already doing this in places like with the Legionary, if you have specific items you think we could be doing this with but aren't we can look at that.
7) we're hitting the military issue again, as far as I know we do not sell things except the Zuma on an international market and since the Zuma was designed for Hanar it was presumably adapted for them already.
10) The Galaxy is big and PI isn't even the largest company in the Human market, doing more charity work is certainly reasonable as a "I just think its neat" sort of thing. Its hard to say what the big problems in the galaxy are and how much of an impact we could make however Arcologies are so ridiculously undercosted that we could certainly make a huge dent in the galactic homeless population however the acompanying dent in the housing market might undo a lot of good will in the faction of "Morgage havvers". :p
13) One of our biggest hurdles so far has been getting an AI license, I don't know why we'd want to get into negotiating tv show licensing.
14) Probably the sort of thing that is actually multiple research projects
15) Erm, oh god this sounds like a terrible idea.
Its the sort of life changing decision that should be done with careful consideration and expert advice.
Medical cybernetics are not simple things, and this is the sort of thing that would need constant checkups to make sure the body isn't rejecting the prosphetic.
A temporary pop up clinic sounds like the worst possible way of getting into this buisness.
17) I like this as a "I just think its neat" idea and Revy characterisation, however I am leery that this is going to be a difficult issue to navigate, issues could range from the military being worried that examples of Repulsers are falling outside of their control, to police calls about the fact that they now have to deal with jet packing gangs. To issues like getting sued because someone flew their hardsuit into a wall and we're being blamed.
19) I don't know how I feel about this, it could range the full spectrum from careful responsible uplift to White Revy's Burden depending on what you're imagining. I guess the main issue I have is that I don't see an obvious way to do it, there isn't a central Vorcha population to interact with unless you're planning an uplift as they're a primitive race and the small communities across the galaxy are the descendants of stowaways, abductee's, ect, ect. And an uplift probably wouldn't help the ones you were probably imagining living in squalor on Omega.
22) There are less than you'd think though, I mean if there were a lot, you wouldn't have said "probably". Even if we strip as many of the problematic elements off the power armour just to leave an exoskeleton, you'd probably still prefer a fork lift truck or a crane for many of the potential use cases.
Then we have to deal with the issue that theres no way we can give out these exo skeletons without someone attempting to repurpose them into non civillian exoskeletons.
23) I don't think biology works like this. I know its a staple of many genres but it seems to sort of look at vitamin requirements and say "Oh we only need 1 gram of this stuff a day" and therefore concluding all the other stuff we're eating is just the useless container of the stuff we actually need.
29) Yeah no this is just a good idea. If nothing else, looking at the Iron Legion, or Loyal Wingman 6th generation fighters and it would be pretty cool for the Centurion suits to actually be command units :p
34) just a reminder because you've managed to run into an issue where we need to be advancing goals other than money without involving an arc reactor. This plan is just trading precious bottlenecked research for credits, and if we ever actually found that we were running critically short on credits we have other options like loans, selling stocks or just opening the flood gates and selling over the minimum quantity of arc reactors each turn.
35) In what way could you make omni gel better?
36) the issue here is that I don't actually think you need to do a lot of work to actually improve stuff like this. Which suggests that the issue isn't that the tech isn't there, its that the will to do this isn't there. I think this is the sort of thing where ME's neo liberal dystopia would leave us facing frivolous lawsuits from every direction from every company that benefits from artificial scarcity in order to make us stop. Stuff like having to prove that the replicated chicken didn't violate a trademarked breed of some mega farm or the bread wasn't made from Monsanto seeded grain. Slow, expensive, difficult and their goal isn't even to win, its to make us think this isn't worth it.
PI is a small fish in the galaxy and the big fishes could if they felt the need just suffocate this attempt in the crib.
37) You want to break down all of the proteins in a piece of food then rebuild them with a reversed chirality? Either Omni gel already satisfies this or you're literally asking to manipulate arbitrary food products on a molecular level, I've mostly skipped over saying "Science doesn't work this way" because like with 4D tech its pretty obvious to all parties, but this ones just so mundane I really need you to step back and think about what you're asking for.
38) This already exists, Volus have issues because nobody else can survive in their environments, not that they cannot be replicated.

5)i was thinking to non critical military product,like the grenade launcher,omni tool/blade,the rookie set or the flamer,they don't seem to be advenced stuff that need to be keep close and can't be allowed to be produced by another of the humanity militaro industrial complex memeber
13)the idea was to place all the royalty-free cultural products of the galaxy there (if such a thing still exists, stupid capitalist dystopia), and possibly to set up an office responsible for purchased/negotiated in background the liscences of things not free of rights use the profits generated by the viewing/streaming/other name service, I said to myself that this could make access to culture a little easier (if the price is low enough) and allow for better understanding between species
23)yeah probably not the better on the long run for the health (if only mentaly),but still seem to have his uses ?
34)it may be me who seriously overestimate the value of our production point and the need for credit,the idea of the create stuff,rent production lisence,get money was to get enough money to get more shield and laser defence grid in the colony close to the war (since if i m right those aren't cheap even for us) without aving to produce it ourself and thus prodicing less vital material for the ongoing war
35)make it cheaper, easier to produce, better for healing, capable of compensating for a large loss of blood or fighting a serious infection, reducing side effects and the risk of overdose
36)yup we are gonna need a lot of lawyer for that one,still i think it could improve the world
37)fair,i know it make no scientific sens but neither eezo do,you could say "science don't work that way" to a lot of stuff in mass effect
38)little typing error,the idea was to create improved environment suit,not re create the environement.
thanks for your constructive critisism

5)i was thinking to non critical military product,like the grenade launcher or the flamer,they don't seem to be advenced stuff that need to be keep close and can't be allowed to be produced by another of the humanity militaro industrial complex memeber

5) I assume that the grenade launcher and similar things are designed specifically for the power armour or Tigers we sell, I don't think we sell 'generic' types of those.
13) Sounds like the sort of thing that people would already be doing if its feasible, what do we do uniquely that would give us an edge against other companies? It doesn't really seem to play to our strengths. And I think you're still underestimating the legal quagmire as we'd still need to consider regional censorship even if the licensing is fine.
We can probably try and brute force our way into any industry to some degree, however we're going to have an easier time and better results if its something that we can point to specific advantages for rather than just "Revy and money".
23) I dunno, unfit for long term consumption is not something you want on emergency rations, because if you're eating emergency rations you probably aren't certain how long you're going to be eating them for.
35)Nothing about omni gel suggests its particularly hard or expensive to produce, considering how effectively it is at rendering down unwanted items we'd probably be having to compete with waste recycling plants.
And for Medigel to compensate for blood loss, we're now talking about a research project to create a universal blood replacement across many different species in the galaxy. Thats a HUGE project.
37) You'd be surprised about the science. We obviously have exceptions for the mass effect and arc reactors but apart from that, as much of this quest as possible has been built around "Given those exceptions, how hard can we science this.". Once you've granted that a lot of the strange shit are in the softer sciences or are around reaper tech which sort of falls into "Yeah thats plausibly handwaved as sufficiently advanced"
38) In that case we're sort of at a similar point to 13, do you have reasons to think that Revy would be able to make a more comfortable environment suit than a species that has been doing this for millenia other than "Revy and Money"
 
38)no but in regard of her previous work i would Say it may be enough,in the end its sound like a secondary thing so with our limited researvh point we will propably never know
