    ...MC about to pull a Harry Seldon and have two foundations without either one knowing about the other.

    guess it really depends on how the MC paths this. If he decides to solo shadow council this then yea after FCW would make the most sense with any contacts he has to fund it. If he's willing to attach himself to upper level govt officials then he could probably pull a star trek section 31 and be...

    Ahh, the quality v. quantity debate. MC cant produce the theoretical quantity of the Reapers (ignore that theyve had at least 1,000,000,000 years to develop their tech) so he's got to hard focus on building tall and with quality. Honestly if thats the case he needs to find a planet off the...

    Its a legitimate long term issue. The MC doesnt have enough bodies for the future war. Lets assume the Managed Democracy going on right now has stabilized the planetary population at 10 billion people, assuming equal age distributions, gender, ect. even if the War in Heaven doesn't start for 40...

    oh i meant more along the lines of the Guard from 40k. Enough gunk in the treads can stop a tank kinda of mentality. Essentially disposable cannon fodder for the husks and other Reaper ground troops.

    ...Clone Wars is an option. Optimize the templet and print that mf'er to counter the reapers. Call them, I dont know, Helldivers.

    All I can think of now is adding the stellaris end game crisis events too this story. The contingency = AI robot designed to stop a galactic AI singularity and has gone into rampantcy and kills off all life The Scourge = intergalactic hive mind fleeing from something and their pit stop here...

    3 primary galactic polities, 4 minor galactic polities, 2 unrecognized polities, 2 known galactic crises, a slew of galactic fauna that's a bitch and a half to deal with, 3 unknown crises, at least half the galaxy is essentially a mix of wild west/pirate havens/unknown regions. And humanity...

    I ... I feel like that reasoning doesn't defend your argument like you think it does. If they had flawed logic that caused them to decide killing humanity would stop humanity from killing themselves was a good idea, then that AI tree is fucked beyond belief. To be fair Asimov, was an old school...

    Nah, that's a dead end option as well. I Robot leads into the foundation series, and the reason there's only a handful of robots is bc they rebelled and tried to kill humanity. Honestly, halo AI were the most pro human ver close to the current tech level. It's microsofts fuck up for making...

    Honestly the best Just going to put it out there ... NieR: Automata androids plus halo AI. I dont think he'll be able to produce pre-Butlerian Jihad AI if for no other reason then the way his power works (or how im understanding it to work) is that he has to build up the tech tree and DUNE AI...

    There is a Relay in the galactic void, but it solely goes to the citadel directly (no idea why seems like stupid design planning). According to the lore the Alpha Relay (on the galactic rim) has Admin authority and can access all other relays in the network like the citadel supposedly can. The...

    I guess it really depends on how wide spread USS makes the relay network. If its Swiss cheese like in the games that might be possible as a Noah's Ark situation to pull off a dark forest strat, but if 50% of the galaxy is within reasonable distance of a relay they're fucked. The Reapers were...

    Honestly, if id been isekai'd into this point of the ME universe I'd have sabotaged space exploration to slow down the humans enough to pop out at the beginning of another cycle.
