The Covenant vs the Citadel Species

The Citadel made contact with the Covenant, and the Covenant are not friendly.

Full scale war is waged over Planets, Space, and Tech.

The whole Covenant Race and their Tech/Weapons/Troops/Vehicles/ect.

Who should win this war?

bump

@cadencev2: only those species you mentioned or the other ones too? like Elcor, Volus, Hanar, etc...

In that case, the Elcor would solo.

The only Council species are the asari, turians, salarians and humans.

What's so special about the Elcor?

The Elcor, man! They're living tanks!

Must be slow as hell, though.

You don't know that. We've never seen them walk; and look at that rotation speed at 0:02! That guy, who was just a diplomat, rotated faster than real life tanks! They could be lightning fast for all we know.

@jorgevy: Only listed Species. The Council Species. Elcor, Batarians, Qaurian, Volvus, Krogan, ect are all Species but not Council Species. Only the main 4 that sit on the Council.

Convenant ships are a bit better since they can nuke worlds and don't need mass relays to go into hyperspace. The Biotics may win ground fights though

I'll say space warfare covenant, any ground fights the citadel

The grunts are suicide bombers. And what type of numbers are we looking at here? Trillions of Covenant vs ? citadels.

Little info on Ships in ME.

This is cool. The Dreadnoughts can can fire every 5 seconds a 3 time the Hiroshima Bomb Projectile at 1.3 Times the Speed of Light.

Read it again. It's "1.3 percent the speed of light".

..... well that makes no sense at all.

At 1 percent Light Speed would be so slow that the momentum yielding 3 Hiroshima Bombs is impossible..... it makes no sense there.

That is like Hyper Sonic only. WTH kind of math to Megaton Yield crap is that?

It defies logic.....

Whatever.

1.3 percent of light speed is over Mach 11452. Well beyond the speed of sound.

I'm not sure lightspeed projectiles of that size even exist in the Mass Effect universe. The only thing I can think of is the Illusive Man's story about how a now-extinct race killed the Mnemosyne Reaper by firing a mass accelerator round through it at lightspeed. In the current cycle, I don't think anyone was using lightspeed nuclear-grade armaments.

@citizenbane: Yeah I remember that and Illusive Man thought that race was Age before theirs.

I must did my match wrong again. I know the fastest recorded lightning Bolt is 1/3 Speed of Light. 1 Percent seems.... very slow to that.

How do comic characters like Batman dodge Lightning attacks again?

Hate BS magic physics.

Anyway, i think the Reapers Laser (not a laser actually) is Liquid Metal propelled at Lightspeeds.

Have to relook that up.

I honestly think that the Covenant can overrun the Citadel's overall more experienced fighting force based on pure numbers and versatility amongst ground troops. Space combat is a little more evened out but the Covenant ships seem a little more deadly in their weaponry.

thought you meant Citadel/Embassy species, my bad.

Badassly; the Elcor are living tanks mate!

It that seemed kind of ridiculous, the Reapers had more advanced technology than all the fleets in Mass 3 and their ships were casually dodging Reaper projectiles. I stand by my original statement that the Covenant would win in the air and the Citadel species on the ground due to biotics

@jorgevy:I've never ever seen an Elcor in combat, although from what I understand Krogans may be trouble since they can shut off their pain receptors.

On the ground one major advantage the Covenant have is that their Brutes and Elites are stronger and faster than any of the ME species. It could balance out the advantage they'd have with biotics

@kenbukaiten: if the Krogans were in this, I'd give this to the Citadel species easily, but unfortunately they are not part of the Council, so they dont count

bump

The covenant win in space combat and the citidel species win on the planetary battles. Though even if a ground force were to win a major battle planet side the covenant ships would probably glass/cleanse the entire planet anyway.

@ghostofonyx: wouldn't that be like doing a scorched earth tactic against yourself?

Well considering the mass almost infinite amount of apparently never ending supply of grunts that the covenant have ,it wouldn't really make a difference.

I been thinking about this and from what everyone else agrees is that is FTL.

.80 Percent of the Speed of light is 80/100 Speed of Light. 1.3 is Speed of light and the additional 30/100.

Anyway that is how I saw it as well.

Incorrect. 0.80 percent of the speed of light is 0.008 lightspeed. "Percent" literally means "out of 100". If it was "0.8 light speed", then it would mean 80/100 of the speed of light. For example, in the scan below, Genis-Vell is stated to move at "0.8 light". That means he is moving at 80% of the speed of light. If it said "0.8% of light", it means he is moving at 0.008 times the speed of light. The % changes everything.

Math does not change according to anyone's convenience. 1.3 percent of light speed is 0.013 times the speed of light. 1.3 light speed is 130% the speed of light. Big difference.

yeah it clearly says 1.3 percent. so it's just a part of speed of light, not above it. think about it

if it was a projectile going at the speed of light or above, it would have near or infinite mass, and that wouldn't be pretty.

Who is "everyone?" Either you're taking the feat as fact or dismissing the entire exchange as incorrect. You can't have it both ways. It's either the stated 1.3%, or you must discount it. No middle ground.

@citizenbane: Well, that is good to know. I test out of reading and writing but math is just.... confusing.

Couple guys in my English Comp class.

Also what are you talking about "Either you're taking the feat as fact or dismissing the entire exchange as incorrect."

You lost me there.

@cadencev2: Those guys in your English class are morons, learn math

@jorgevy: All I need to know in Math is Geometry (Construction) and Decimals/Integers for my Bank Account. I have no use for percents or its wording in word problems. Same with Fractions, never had to use fractions in my life for anything. Ratios sure. fractions.... nope.

Whats funny is one of them tutors. lol.

@cadencev2: they probably misenterpreted it, happens

bump for awesomeness
