Thread 712418046

Realistically, what are the consequences of a Krogan/Batarian/Vorcha alliance for the Citadel races?

>>712418046 (OP)
Vorcha was pretty fun to go all in on Melee in the multiplayer.

>>712418046 (OP)
They get their asses handed to them by the Citadel races. The Krogan are dying due to internecine warfare and the genophage, the Vorcha are disorganized and little more than wild animals and the Batarian military is explicitly stated to have proven to be a paper tiger once the Reapers rolled in.

I can't be the only one that likes Miranda over the other girls, right? Admittedly, I only like her because of her resemblance to Yvonne

>>712418046 (OP)
I love her rigid3d model so much it's unreal

>>712418249
not if the genophage is cured. the rebellions lasted centuries. The vorcha are slaves of the Blood Pack
The batarians got blindsided. They lost to the reapers due to sheer attrition, not having any friends.
Remember, earth fell in a day, with two thirds of the fleets decimated. The batarians held out for months.

>>712418046 (OP)
Depends on how many earth women they can spare

>>712418757
Nah, the Batarians were a paper tiger. Don't make excuses for them. That's why for all their bluster and sabre rattling, they would never engage humanity in open warfare and resorted to terror tactics. And the one time Humans and Batarians did engage in open warfare, humanity beat the brakes off of them and that was when humanity was still relatively new and hadn't really established themselves yet. So if the Batarians couldn't beat humanity alone back then, what makes you think they could beat all the Citadel races simultaneously with a dying Krogan race and a disorganized Vorcha (that are just as likely to fight you as your enemies) as their allies?

Also, doesn't matter if the genophage is cured. Because once the Krogan show aggression again, it stands to reason that the Salarians will undo the cure and reintroduce the genophage.

>>712419240
To add onto this, I actually think in this hypothetical, the Batarians would probably be better off without the Krogan and Vorcha as allies. The Vorcha have no fleet that we know of and the Krogan were completely demilitarized after the Krogan Rebellions and not allowed to maintain a fleet. That means in this alliance, the Batarians are going to have to do all the heavy lifting and logistics work. Not to mention, their two allies are separated from them by large swathes of Citadel space. So the Batarians would have to try to get ships across Citadel space to Krogan and Vorcha worlds to not only defend them from Citadel fleets, but also to pick them up and transport them to war zones where they'd be useful. That would likely stretch the Batarians too thin and force them to fight on multiple fronts for allies that are basically dead weight.

So yeah, I think the Batarians would have a much better chance of victory (still not a good chance though) if they just tried to solo all the Citadel races, rather than trying to ally with the Krogan and Vorcha.

>>712419240
Its true that they have an inferior military to the council races. It's also true that they conduct asymmetric warfare very well, successfully destroying the Watson colony in ME2, almost destroying Elysium, and the only thing stopping them from destroying Terra Nova being a chance encounter with the Normandy.
The Alliance is overextended, moving fast into new areas with little protection. Other council races will be just as decimated as the Batarians in a post war scenario, putting things on an even playing field.
Vorcha don't seem too bright, they'll follow whoever's paying them
The genophage took decades to produce. Its not as simple as a Michael Scott reverse vasectomy. They would have to engineer an entirely new pathogen in an ending with the cure

>>712418290
no, miranda best girl

A bigger point of concern is when these assholes inevitably show back up

>>712419998
>Other council races will be just as decimated as the Batarians in a post war scenario

I don't think so. The Council races got hit hard definitely, but I think they are still in better shape than the Batarians. In the codex entries in ME3 describing the fall of the Batarians, it says that the refugees who managed to make it to Citadel space are very likely the only Batarians left alive. If that's the case, then the Citadel races may have taken seriously blows, but the Batarians have literally lost everything and won't be in any shape to wage war.

That's why for this hypothetical, I was assuming pre-Reaper War since that puts the Batarians at roughly their strongest.

>>712420498
if we're sticking to the pre 2186 timeline they basically control the terminus through the suns and their pirates. They would basically behave like China does now, operating thru non "licensed" terror attacks, cyberwarfare, and a heavy supply of narcotics into the citadel space.

>>712420957
True. However that will only work for so long before they go to far or screw up covering up their involvement in something and the Citadel races drop the hammer on them. Hell, it all.ost happened with Terra Nova. Had that attack succeeded, it would have been war between the Systems Alliance and the Batarian Hegemony and it wouldn't be long before the other Council races jumped in on humanity's behalf.

So in a way, Shepard actually bailed the Batarians out by stopping the attack on Terra Nova.

Which sfm kino is this from?

>>712418293
I wish he took a break from futa goddamn it

The Batarians lost so quickly for two reasons, which are spelled out pretty plainly if you were paying the slightest attention.

>The entire government of the Hegemony was Indoctrinated after they stole the "corpse" of the Leviathan of Dis
>The entire Reaper armada invaded the Hegemony first and only spread out to the rest of the galaxy after wiping them off the map
The Batarians got taken out completely before the first Reaper even arrives in the Sol system. They used fewer ships to crush the Turian fleet, the largest in the galaxy.

>>712418046 (OP)
Simple.
Then the Krogan and Vorcha get annihilated along with the Batarians.

You guys wanna know how much it blows being a Krogan who's bad at fighting?
My aim is so shit I can miss with a shotgun at point blank. I don't have the smarts to be a successful merc or hitman. I'll fucking fall asleep standing up while on guard duty, and club music makes my heard hurt so I can't even pose as a bouncer.
There's basically only one other job available to a Krogan that isn't hard menial labor - I had to go into porn.
At first, signing up with Fornax was a decent gig. Great medical, plenty of exercise, meet new people, and you can make decent creds if the vid is popular. During my youth I was allowed a few goes with the females, so I was already familiar with being treated like a stupid piece of meat. Fucking Salarians have no concept of romance, so they genophaged it out of my people.
But slowly, it got worse and worse. Every day, every single fucking day, I'd barely get my tip in and these stupid, squishy Asari and Humans would scream in my ear: "KROGAN COCK, SO GOOD" , "BREED ME T-REX DADDY", "THIS IS THE ONLY THING ASARI ARE GOOD FOR", etc., constantly. Fucking Vorcha could act better.
They're also way too fragile to scratch, bite, bludgeon, really any kind of typical foreplay.
I polished my crest until it shone, but when I displayed it to them during the shoot, they looked at me like I was fucking retarded.
You ever fuck an Elcor before? You ever tried gettin' it up while listening to "with salacious trepidation: I want you inside me, big boy"?
The sad part is that she was a better fuck than any of the Human or Asari, first bitch I could really ride without worrying about another spinal fracture.

Where can I find batarian/vorcha models for Blender?

>>712427862
a real classic

>>712418290
No she's best girl for me too. I love everything about her

>>712427862
I hope things get better for you buddy

>>712418046 (OP)
they all get genophaged

>>712418290
I love Yvonne, she definitely carries that charm to Miranda, even being a Jackfag, Miranda is the only other waifu I accept. She is top two ME girls, easily.
I also love how one's existence, improves the character of the other, between these two.
Absolutely criminal that Miranda and Jack were glossed over in ME3, and retired from the future of the franchise. Mass Effect is still reeling from it, and never recovered.

>>712429168
Realistically, how much hatefucking do these do behind the scenes, and how often does a romanced Jack/Miranda bring the other in Shepard's bedroom, so he can remodel her insides?

>>712418046 (OP)
My Shepard is still waiting to wake up from his indoctrination coma

Fembot. Check the hair

>>712418293
It depends on the artist. Some can make her look better than others.
Stefb23 and Belethor do a better job than most. Mostly because they don't give her too exaggerated facial expressions, and keep her body proportions closer to canon. Rigid himself just makes her a blob of fat, with an unrealistically thin waist in comparison, in a very small portion of her midsection.
I wish she'd be in the next ME so we can get a more recent body model of hers, that can be ripped, and that Bioware doesn't fuck up the face again too much.

>>712430710
Speaking of content creators. Would you happen to know if there are high resolution versions of BucketOfSkrimp's work somewhere or is twitter all there is?

>>712433076
If he has a patreon, HQ can probably be found in f95zone, I would expect. Or the anthropomorphic furry site.
Otherwise, it's probably just twitter.

I liked early on in the SFM days where they'd put Miranda in a schoolgirl outfit.

>>712433390
Not every pateron is on kemono, and f95 isn't even secondary when it comes to dumps.

Why are people like this? Every single time we gotta le epic fucking troll xD
This isn't /b/
Nobody ever liked this bitch, nobody ever played as this bitch.
Stop pretending with this stupid shit.

>>712442995
Why does she make you seethe so much?

>>712418046 (OP)
Realistically, it guarantees that every anti-slavery, anti-crime, citadel supremacist, racial supremacist faction in the galaxy joins to finally have the opportunity to stomp them out of existence.
The moderates would have to send the spectres on a genocide run on the opposition to prevent a war from happening.

>>712443168
Because femshep makes me physically wretch when I see her.
I've thrown up in my mouth at a close up of her.
I would rather look at maggots, than femshep.
She makes me physically ill.

>>712443816
Suit yourself.

>>712443816
That's sad
