From the standpoint of Commander Shepard I'm pleased that the quarians are getting dreadnoughts -- we're going to need them! But I'm also totally with the Council on their reaction. The quarians don't have any diplomatic agreements with the Council, and have a history of doing whatever they please, the Korlus raid itself being an excellent example. If they decided to raid somebody's colony world for resources, they now have the means to do it. We, the players, generally have a good opinion of the quarians, but most of the rest of the galaxy sees them as somewhere between gypsies and bandits, and now they have WMDs.
