Right, it is all balanced in a scale, do you want small swarms of missile? we'll it will have limited range due to how much fuel it can carry. Do you want larger missiles that have farther effective range? we it needs to be bigger but will be more expensive?

There is a British AA system called the Star-Streak Thor that launches a Missile at a target and the payload are 3 kinetic kill darts that your AA mech could use as their primary long range AA missile.

Could the 93 be a Cache of Protheans in Stasis?

Or a Cache of Fertilised Ovum kept in Stasis?

A last chance to have the Species live on even if without a lot of knowledge, tech, culture etc.

How about an Armoury full of Power Armour?

Or Mini Mechs like Tachikoma?

Maybe a Starship Bay, but Empty. Lots of Parts and Assembly Instructions maybe?

You guys rolled supply cache, not a stasis room (that is a 90, you guys got a 50) so there is nothing in stasis there.

I haven't heard any mention of Protheans wearing power armor. Their Biotics are probably super soldiers enough for them so they didn't need it. GDI made power armor because they need Tiberium proof suits that can also defend itself in Tiberium filled environments. Even then, GDI downsized their use of Zone armor for their GIs to SFs cause they require a lot of maintenance, is expensive to make, and not as flexible as a exo skeleton soldier. So it is very unlikely Protheans use power armor.

Protheans Hate AI, they developed sensors to detect AI and Indoctrination, that is how much they hate AI. VI controlled Mechs are very unlikely to be trusted or developed.

This is more of a supply bunker for guerilla fighters made near the end of Reaper invasion, no Starships or Starship parts.

Hmm what about recordings of the fighters? Giving the future races everything they know about the reapers?

Not thinking a beacon here but more a personal journal.

Hmm, in that case would there be something like an Anarchists cookbook equivalent on hand? Give a reminder/blueprints for guerilla's that find that cache to assemble weaponry/explosives quickly along with a start up kit (Prothean equivalent of one of our supply drops with premade construction parts for buildings/tech research maybe?)

wouldnt help us anyway remmeber that Protheans based a lot of their tech around their version of psychometry so journals wouldnt be much of use to us since we couldnt read them. Can anyone tell how common were archive like one on mars since in game all other ones were more or less like beacon on Eden prime.
edit:
though ther is path of tech meant to races asimilated by Protheans so ther is that

Still next to useless for us because the Proteans set everything they made for information like the Beacons. They used their unique biology to make their data storage devices. If there is information at the base it will take a lot of work to decode and we won't know what any of it is until it is decoded.
 
Yep. Every one forgets that from time to time. That's why we would actually prefer more examples of their technology and less datacores unless GDI can successfully extract data from Prothean datacores.
Of course, if we wanted more investment from GDI, then yes a Protean datacore would be ideal.

Don't worry you'll get something even better.

Yep GDI probably still trying to understand prothean systems and make it so they can be read by GDI computer systems.

And even the Azure Bitches on the Athame Council have trouble because Mind Melding is not the same as Psychometry. Mind Melding is more like dreaming (which is why it is not allowed in court or as a testimony...explains why Shepard couldn't have just offered to Mind Meld with Councilor Tevos and she would get the Beacon Data) while Prothean Psychometry is more like reading a book.

At least that is my view on the subject.

Asari too they yust had more time and are hoging all infirmation to remain smug and superior over rest of galaxy. Look up all thing restriced or taboo to reasarch in mass effect and most of them have restriction only so that asari dominance is not treathened. They have necesary "leavers" to manipulate all races of importance.

I have to wonder if there are laws in the citadel making the mind melds not being able to be used as evidence in court.

It was the only logical explanation why Shepard wasn't asked to Meld with Tevos or one of her adjutants.

Bioware! Why you make so many PLOTHOLES!

Probably because EA's rot goes all the way back.
 
I am guessing it has to do with how memory is a very shoddy form of evidence and you don't remember exactly what happened like a video. I am also guessing Mind Meld is not a perfect method of acquiring information. If the subject forgot critical information, it is very likely that the Asari can't get it because she has to work with the subject's mind and she can't get it if the subject can't remember it. This also opens the possibility of false memories as there are a lot of videos in youtube how the brain makes events that never happened and labelled it as memories. If Shepard believed the events to be true, the Asari couldn't tell the difference and that is not good in court where objective truth is what matters.

More than likely I could see it being one of those laws which makes it so the evidence isn't usable in any court of law outside of the Republics.

Also I can see some people being very uncomfortable with the practice.

Could also the persons they are melding with emotions effect them as well? I can't see many Asari wanting to merging with a serial killer, someone who is mentally disturbed or someone like Doctor Heart and also doing it i can't see it being done without stress and consequences for their mental health and general well being.

True but the Republics could also have a similar law I mean I don't think any Asari would want to mind melds with one of their soul eaters.

Wait what? ALL asari can mind meld, and see things. So a law that says "anything seen or sensed during a mind meld is inadmissible in court" basically means that one Asari could fuck up another Asari during a meld as much as she wanted - and the experience would be completely inadmissible in court. Legally, it did not happen.

If an Asari during a meld realises the one she's melding with killed her sister or mother? Nope, inadmissible in court, even as a witness statement. You see someone is completely crazy and about to blow? Nope, you can't use that to get someone checked by a psychologist. Etc etc.

I know all Asari can mind meld No I was was also thinking of an unidentified ardat-yakshi when I was making that post since the meld with them kills the person they do it with I couldn't remember the name though when I posted the post you quoted.

Also what you said is also true.
