I wouldn't think their superstructure would be on the front line. That thing'd be way back in the middle of Geth space, to ensure nothing could get to it. It wouldn't be designed as warship so would likely be very vulnerable.
The Geth do have a lot of ships, and a lot of technological advancements we have not yet researched. If they were to be convinced, similar to how any other race could be convinced, they would be more than powerful. Although it does not seem likely to be useful in the time of war, full integration of Geth technology alongside Organic technology would make some amazing ships.
[sp]I just hope that we don't have to choose between the Geth and the Quarians, in ME3 they are both fighting over the homeworld.[/sp]

Legion said every single geth would be inside it, wich means that there wouldn't be any pilots to fly all those small ships. Even if they still keep the smaller ships around, and download pilots to them, they won't do much good against a Reaper. I still think the superstructure will be far larger than a Reaper.
Besides, if it really does have powerfull weapons, it's either use it on the frontline allied with everyone else, or lose it when all the other races militaries are wiped out. The only logical choice is to send it into the fire and hope for the best. That way, even if it's destroyed but are victorious they can rebuild it. Geth are patient, as they do not age or die. When a unit is destroyed, the programs are sent back to base.

Eh, I doubt you'll be able to do that much modification.
I was talking something along the lines of just the standard Widow without a scope and maybe a shorter barrel.
Wasn't the Geth superstructure a dyson sphere? Those aren't exactly very mobile.

True, but Legion said it was the closest thing he could compare it to in human terms. I have no idea what it looks like, but it sounds like it's different from a dyson sphere, to some extent.

Well yeah it would be bigger than a Reaper but it won't help any if there's no armour or weapons on it. They aren't always downloaded into the superstructure, but it has the capacity to allow that when it is fully built. They can still send their giant fleet to fight the Reapers while maybe putting off building it for a bit while they make a bunch more ships. Really, sending the superstructure in to fight would be like loading your entire population onto transport ships and using them as torpedos.
The Geth as a whole have good weapons, shields and other tech. The amount Geth could learn from organics and vice versa is significant. To make a ship combining the two would be a massive engineering project, something that they can't exactly do while the Reapers are destroying Earth.

It is a space station that is practically a giant computer, capable of running the entire Geth population. As the platforms they operate on do not have a strong hardware-software link, they can move their mental state between different hardware. The superstructure runs all Geth minds and connects them, allowing them to think as one, experiencing everything.
It is not a warship, it is a scientific project. It's design would not be anything more than needed to operate and it's goal is independent from it's physical manifestation.

Yes, but as I already said, if this thing contains every geth out there, then there is no way in hell that thing is without weapons or armor. I seriously doubt the geth are that stupid, as they must have prepared in the eventuality of an attack. Besides, geth is completely different from organics, in that they don't have a civilian population, everything they do is based on logic, and they probably didn't destroy all their old stations/instalations, meaning they have something to go back to, should this superstructure be destroyed.
Also, Legion stated that the goal was to upload every geth to this structure eventually. It might get rushed because of the Reaper threat.
I don't like how the alliance get their dirty hands on the normandy, de-assemble it and rebuild it with their own modification, and analyse what they removed from it
I want my tannix cannons and shields upgrade, fuck earth military!
that's what I liked from cerberus, they gave you everything and told you: do whatever seem best for your mission.
TIM might had dark intention, he bought shepard back to life and gave him everything
mass effect 3's earth military should be interesting, according to the codex most of earth still has to get by on 20th and 21st century tech and weapons. only the richer countries could afford to produce things like the avengers
Well this sucks.
I've just reinstalled Mass Effect 2 from steam and my savegames aren't being picked up by the game. I still have both ME1 and ME2 folders in "My Documents" as I copied them over before I wiped my computer a few weeks ago.
ME2 is picking up the ME1 saves for import but my ME2 saves which are in the ME2 save folder aren't being picked up by the game at all for me to use.
Anyone help?

Who are the major countries on Earth in Mass Effect? I remember reading something about the USNA, China, and the EU fighting over planet colonization rights in one of the planet descriptions. Pretty much sounds like how it is now. I guess that's why the Reapers seem to be hitting Africa first.

No, it's just the closest thing it's able to compare the Superstructure to.
[sp]my bet would be saving Quarians will be the Paragon choice, though I really hope it's left more morally ambiguous[/sp]

Pretty sure that Russia formed some alliance with China.

Here, have some clocked stuff.
I didn't notice how prevalent the "Bioware Look" was until I started looking for it.
Count how many times in a Bioware game someone turns their head, then their body, and then walks away at the end of a conversation.
