Even if a MAC round can total any ship from Mass Effect, they can only take down one ship every few seconds. Yes, numbers make a difference.
Considering a fully charged MAC can rip through two Covenant ships (which are significantly more advanced than even the UNSC's more advanced ships) and knock out the shields of a third, they'd have no issue taking out multiple Mass Effect ships.
Not to mention multiple UNSC ship classes have multiple MACs.
Getting reinforcements more quickly than the other team doesn't mean anything? Maneuvering in-battle more efficiently doesn't mean anything? More easily regrouping doesn't mean anything?
They're ships. You don't need to send one to get reinforcements. They have communication relays.
Maneuvering is only slightly advantageous, considering that UNSC and Covenant ships would still be able to take them out because again, they have significantly better tech.
Plus have you seen how incompetent the ME Universe is when it comes to flying ships?
Didn't it take a planet-scarring weapon to down one of them? That comes up a lot when Mass Effect is involved.
They also took out Sovereign by attacking it with their shitty ships.
Reapers are only somewhat powerful in the context of the ME universe.
Takes a fuckton of resources, but yeah, they could.
Resources aren't even being considered for either side in this thread, so what's your point?
The Covenant's infantry are piss weak, though. Then again so are Mass Effect's.
Hardly.
Especially not against ME's laughable ground forces.
Same as above. They could tear apart any ships Mass Effect can send their way, but only one at a time. And Mass Effect has a lot of ships.
One at a time?
What?
Covenant ships aren't only equipped with one gun. They're outfitted with multiple, all of which would tear through ME's ships.
Didn't say they could win. Just hold them off. And clearly not both at once.
Oh please. They almost got destroyed by the Reapers.
Having the Reapers on their side is only a minor increase in their overall power.
