It's loud, grinding, militaristic, and bombastic.

Can't go wrong there.

Also, next phase of battle launched.

I just demolished a quarter of the Alliance dreadnought strength.

Actually, his sapper division for Eden Prime is on a transport, which is still in space. Even if he lands it right now, he'll still have no time to dig in and as such will get pasted.

You said it was fortifying the city without ever saying that it landed.

Also, there's nowhere to retreat to, baka. I have the Relay, and railgun projectiles are faster than dreads. U gonna get wrecked.

Well first you need to catch up to the retreating force, you didn't leave anyone to guard said relay and its implied they were training on the ground.

One. The Batarian fleet hasn't really moved much since it got here, leaving at the very least a carrier and eleven frigates to protect the relay.

Two. I don't need to catch up. You'd still be well within firing range. Reverse maneuvering thrusters would take ages to fire up and get the whole ship moving, leaving me plenty of time to get a second and third volley off. If you turned around, you would be demolished entirely.

Three. If you don't post it, it doesn't happen. You never even implied it. You just said "fortify city", that's all.

Four. You would still have to somehow go around the entire Batarian fleet, which entails going towards it, which means you get shot more.

1: in that case fine then

2: the bismark was the only one said to use its reverse thrusters as stated, the others retreated as normally.

3: okay fair enough the transport has retreated as well.

4: who said I was retreating to the relay?

Here, I'll you some advice... on the wiki, there is a section titled space combat. When you are out numbered most commanders retreat to FTL to get out of the system. Even Railguns and Lasers can't touch you there and you can withdraw deeper into that cluster.

If that was the plan, then yes. Though I would have done it sooner... say before the Dreads were taken out.

Actually it was not on purpose, the commander thought the Batarians would not fire in fear of hitting Terra Nova, apparently they don't give a shit about firing at a garden world, Also to note several shots hit the planet...

Also I was planning on replacing all my dreads with more mobile fleet elements anyway.

What, even though no other ships are powerful enough to break through a dread's barriers, and fighters get massacred by lasers while trying to break them with torpedoes.

... for the last time the DA wasn't even trying to do battle there. It was getting the council out. And for such a large ship it is rather maneuverable. I'd guess most asari ships are quite maneuverable. In the cinematic it can be seen fleeing the battle, not fighting in it. Then the relay was locked so they were trying to return to the citadel fleet when what looked to be at least a few dozen Geth cruisers attacked it, and it alone. Why else could the Systems Alliance ships reach the Destiny Ascension first? That cloud of explosions going on that the Alliance went towards: Destiny Ascension vs Geth cruisers. Remember, the rest of the battle is at the top of the Citadel where the arms are closed at that time.

You cant tell me where a major invasion of your territory is taking place?
Because it is referred to as both Terra Nova and Eden Prime, I could not even send my small ground forces to a specific world. I just had to state 'deep alliance space'.

-tactical adviser mode- fortifying cities is a bad idea. Your troops should disperse into non-populated areas to prevent civilian deaths and to make your troops harder to hit from orbit.

Still proves the fact that a bunch of other ships can take a dread, and it was looking more like 17-23 ships attacking it.

It's Eden Prime I was attacking. Terra Nova is in a different system.

You have combat engineers. I have tanks, artillery, fully upgraded infantry, and combat engineers.

Prepare to die.


Also, no way could the Elcor fleet even get near those cities. My navy is kind of in the way.
