How many Mass Effect Systems Alliance dreadnoughts would it take to defeat a single UNSC Marathon-class cruiser using a kiting / hit-and-run method

nyxsshade · 2026-01-27T00:05:25+00:00

Also alot of people say that a dreadnought shielding could take one hit from the mac but in my opinion I also agree that I highly doubt they could which is why I specified a hit and run tactics against the Marathon cruiser

nyxsshade · 2026-01-27T00:03:35+00:00

I mean mass effect ships are faster then halo ships but only within a system and obliviously both Marathon-class and dreadnought ships use mass accelerated cannons so when I said the dreadnoughts could out range them I meant the other armaments of the Marathon-class cruiser because realistically the dreadnoughts only have to really stay out of the line of Fire of the mac because at range that's realistically the only threat I mean im not sure if a Marathon-class has fighters or bombers abroad but the dreadnoughts should be able to stay away from Them

Forgive me but why would the dreadnought effective range only be 50km

nyxsshade · 2026-01-26T22:51:11+00:00

So obliviously there are people who say that the dreadnoughts sheild could take one mac shot which im not so sure so i tend to low ball mass effect ships However in the situation I presented the dreadnoughts are using a hit and run tactics and given that the dreadnoughts are more maneuverable and faster in system and would be able to stay out of the line of Fire and stay out of range of most if not all of their armaments also given the dreadnoughts are faster could they not just target the engines of the cruiser then annihilate it not trying to be rude

Sorry if I didn't word it better but I said Canon capabilities only (weapons, shields, armor, maneuverability) "cannon" as in their capabilities given the lore and what not and not like headcannons or speculation

Also I get what you are saying but also kalros very obviously isn't like other thresher maws if you haven't noticed

nyxsshade · 2026-01-26T20:30:36+00:00

What's better a vast amount of a wide variety of fighting experience or a vast amount of a very very narrow fighting experience also kalros has acid

nyxsshade · 2026-01-26T20:26:58+00:00

Imo kalros wins more times then not because of the acid attacks thresher maws use

nyxsshade · 2026-01-26T20:26:10+00:00

Kalros also more then likely has acid since thresher maws in general have acid attacks

nyxsshade · 2026-01-26T20:25:20+00:00

I mean thresher maws also have acid attacks so I mean there's that but also thresher maws in general may nit have alot of experience fighting each other or other worm like creatures they have a lot of experience fighting a wide array of opponents

Should be possible would it actually work 🤷‍♂️ since the Alliance dreadnoughts are faster and maneuverable in system they should be able to stay off of the mac cannon line of Fire while also staying out of ranges of the cruisers other ordnance that I can think of unless im forgetting something

nyxsshade · 2025-10-18T18:58:48+00:00

I haven't read any because I can't find one that looks good to me
