so you want to just build transformers? Police car chases you down, you land, police car proceeds to turn into a 15 ft tall giant robot and lands in front of you staring you down before issuing you a ticket for speeding, public indecency, and littering the street with bodily wastes.
I'd listen!
Have no idea why people keep acting like Revy automatically surpasses a hyper advanced billion year old race at the start of the game.
Probably because you keep missing the point! I literally went over this:
if the Reapers help advance our knowledge base then they risk making us harder to put down.
Sure they could make a mech suit, biotics and ships each alone capable of being the singular Stormtrooper to our thousand Darth Vader's. And make mince meat of everything we have. But that gives the survivors knowledge that that kind of fire possible is not only possible, but it exists already. Research to meet and exceed that threshold will go up like crazy! So the Reapers will moderate how far they go in relation to the threat we give the Batarians
Reapers ain't going give the galaxy the very best technology they have till it's time to harvest. If they did it just make their harvest harder. Everything they do is to make us easy pickings.
TD;LR We aren't try to beat the billions of years in the making, we are trying to beat what the least amount the Reaper is willing to hit us with.
One thing I hate about internet arguments its when I say "Oh also," as in, this isn't my main argument but its interesting. People seem to fixate on it.
Did you lose track of the thread? This whole line of discussion stemmed from w34v3r and zac1's police discussion and the specific post of yours was in response to my line about police. Your 'also' wasn't even a digression from the topic. It was supporting your argument in the case of a successful attack against the colonies. Don't try and make it a throw away line because you can't bring a good counter argument to my points.
Moving on.
Despite your apparent beliefs, we do not have infinite production to supply every possible use of the suit in Systems alliance space and if we tried to we'd probably actually annoy the military as I assume their priorities for PA's production go Spaceships for SA-> Legionaries/Tigers/Hammerheads for SA-> Spaceships for Paragon Security -> Legionaries/Tigers/Hammerheads for national armies -> Legionaries/Tigers/Hammerheads for Paragon Security -> Selling to literally any other human PMC fighting the Batarians -> Hyper arming planetary forces that don't even operate on a country sized area and aren't trained to use this.
We do have a very large company however you're underestimating how large the economy of a state that spans multiple star systems is. Did you see all of those factories we started building this turn? We're about just about tripling our production because everything we make is in such high demand and those aren't coming online for another 6 months. Maybe then we can start talking about expanding the legionary to non military product lines, but honestly I think we're still not going to have a problem selling our maximum production capacity.
That's what our new facilities will be for: to increase production capabilities. By the time we get around to voting to helping police forces and what not we will likely have more production and more facilities on the way. Unless we wanna spend more campaign money to increase what our civilization can build we now have literally more money freed up to spend on more facilities. We might even be able to buy that planet for one big R&D playland for Revy.
Yes they did slow down the buying of Legionarys. It happened right around the point where Alliance realized that they need better ships to fend off Batarians and pirates and those Legionarys would be useless if they can't get them to enemy planets. They even told us so. They didn't even buy the Titans or too many tanks because it was seen as a luxury purchase and was told that the ships are more important ATM.
Once they get situated with their ships I expect a noticable increase in Legionary sales.
Furthermore the police suits would doubtfully be quite military grade unless that colony has military services in a policing role or we go with the SWAT versions. So it probably be less costly in sales or production. And if not, like with the military it'll likely be something those with SWAT training get first and foremost before it gets common wear.
In the mean time we shouldn't have trouble selling PI brand hardsuits and weapons to colony police.
Oh! We should have that Lakshima/Mordin research a reliable knockout drug for any species or age group for capture both military and police fights.
And I like the idea researching antifire tech so each firefighter is like a firetruck and the flight abilities and defensive abilities means that they can fly up to the floors with trapped people that need rescue. Can no sell flames and falling debris. And even if the firefighter some how gets trapped they can stay nice and cool till the fire burns down no matter the inferno.
I am honestly surprised none of you have brought up the exact reason why revy would die against more batarian super suits. oh well. You had time.
Well that's ominous... What was it? I seriously don't know. The wort I saw was a supped up biotic. The suit if back then could have taken at least 1 hit. This Mark II could have gotten into a slug fest with that one. The next? Hard to say unless the Reapers give the next one that ripper I think Javik or Samara is capable of. Or a group of the team up on Revy.
What was the reason?
