Loved th game n th idea of controling huge mass effect gun ships miles long is always good, but i think th Reapers wud be wasted as pirates. I mean y have th most powerfull race th only 1 u can't play?? But still wud love to play this mod!!

Why would the Reapers attack the Geth as they are their allies?

And why would paying off the Reapers work?

The whole point of the Reapers is to kill ALL ORGANIC LIFE!  Reaper pirates?  HOW DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?  It makes less sense than Johnny Cochrane's Chewbacca Defense.

And Barn0, the biggest ship in ME is Sovereign.  At 2 km.  That's about 1 and a quarter miles long.

So then the Pirates raids would be increased dramatically, and the whole bounty system would be done away with. Instead, if possible, they would target the civilization that is the most advanced in research (Which makes sense, if you've played the game).

I heard that was being bandied around in the SoA 2 thread.  Excpet instead of Reapers doing it, it was the Borg being the pirates.  And unfortunately, I think pirate raiders going for bounty is hardcoded.

They thought of the Borg, but realized that modeling and texturing the ships would be nearly impossible.

Now then, if it is true that the bounty system is hardcoded, then I say make the pirates be mercenaries (The guys you tend to get into fights with in the original game) and then make the Reapers a plyable race...though I'm not sure how that would work, as we only know how one Reaper looks...and they would all be the same....and be rediculously overpowered. Though we could counter that last one with high resource prices per-ship.
