I wonder if the SP has an affect on the GaW I mean the entire idea of the game os for shepard to prepair an army to fight the reapers. cough Dragon Age cough, does this mean utill you have secured the various races as allies that you can use that race in GaW?

Anyway I don;t see this as a problem I mean this whole Galactic readyness thing looks to be just like the paragon/renegade meters and the GaW being persistant meand that certain events will improve/deduct more. eg. (Spoilers) Mars mission(paragon) SP: shepard collects the prothean data for the anti-reaper weapon and uploads it to the normandy. +10 readyness points. MP: Anon, John doe, Jane doe and Angandor the mighty clear out the remaining cerberus operatives from the facility. +50% readyness ponts for Mars. Second playthrough(renegade) SP: Shepard allows the few non corupted Cerberus agenets to get the prothean data. -15 Readyness points. MP: you already did it you don't need to do it again.
