User blog comment:DeadpoolN7/Why didn't the Alliance try this earlier?/@comment-4953843-20130526094216

grats on posting yet another idiotic blog that could've been avoided by actually understanding lore implications while playing the games.
 * shepard was using the SR-2 manufacturing facilities (yes it has them) + mined/gathered resources to make his/her own cain. "relatively easy" is pure speculation since we have no confirmed way of knowing how easily cains can be made (or even their prevalence) outside of shepard's operation.
 * the hades cannon got brought down by a teensy cain even though it appeared to have a destroyer chassis. remember how destroyers were destroyed in the game: kalros, the whole migrant fleet targeting the reaper's eye, thanix missiles again targeted at the reaper's eye. comparing relative reaper hardness based on this information is pointless as 2/3 cases evidently favor weak spot targeting so we turn to the next most logical conclusion: shep got a lucky shot in. speculation and all, but still damned more plausible than just stating it's "relatively easy" to make and field cains.
 * the alliance forces on earth before the arrival of the fleets were reduced to making guerilla-style raids. -assuming- they occasionally did dig up highly destructive weapons from secret alliance armories or whatever, what makes you think they can always field their good toys for maximum enemy casualties and minimum collateral damage? too many things to consider, starting with the fact people have to live on the planet after the war is over.

tl;dr critical thinking fail, try again.
