Using Normandy as air support in Mass Effect 3 (Ark Mod)
Imagine if we could pilot Normandy... How cool that would be.
This is modded Mass Effect 3 (2012) with a variety of mods installed.
My current ME3 mod-list is found here:
www.nexusmods....
If you are new to Mass Effect modding, I suggest you to start with one of my guides:

PSA: this feature is part of "Operation Paladin". This mission will be available in the game once "Ark mod" is installed.

It's actually criminal of the highest order on how the guys that get overlooked to "Fix" the Miranda's ass hubbub. Shit they could have had the Multi-player that's still fun as hell to play be it's own thing to fight Reapers, Cerberus, Geth or Collectors that was added on one of the Multi-player DLCs way back when and that already is barely scratching the surface. Seriously modders like this make Phil Swift smile and calmy say "This is something people can do without Flex Tape because these guys *ARE* the Flex Tape." :tear rolls down face in joy:
I have to admit - this is pretty badass.

The Ryder twins are only 22 years old. I suppose being one with an AI would give a boost though. Lol
THis is a very nice touch, I love it, wish The game could integrate more concepts like this. a small tip: It probably doesn't make much sense to show the entire Normandy flying this close on low altitude, it would probably make more sense to show the Normandy taking shots from orbit or show a Kodiak taking down the oculus drones. Just a thought.

I legit thought that this was a new feature in the Legendary version for ME3
The Normandy is a recon ship. Not a fighter. It's fast and hard to hit with the best stealth in the galaxy. It would get obliterated in low altitude fight lol
There is absolutely no way in hell I would trust Seth Green with a death ray. I've seen Austin Powers.
God I wish more games had a mod browser like what Bethesda did for fallout and Skyrim se
Look I dig it honestly, looks dope. But for immersion sake, the Normandy would get rocked by the reaper ships in the area after one fly by of targeting fighters.

That is flipping awsome!

Also looks like colors for the phantom armor from citadel dlc has different colors. Been wanting to give alliance colors to it instead of cerberus
10/10 for effort 👌👍✌
Still mad that the Thannix guns never get used on Reapers...but I'll live easier with this. Now it just needs campaign insertion. Anyone wanna build a Halo SPV3 mod to ME3? XD Add some other Reaper/Milky Way ship variants (there's a Deviant Artist who could probably be contacted) and a couple maps in a short-strung side campaign? "Miracle at Palaven" perhaps?
It always annoyed me how much we beefed up the Normandy but never got to play with our cool toy. Would have loved to have seen some naval combat missions, Shepard commanding from the CIC whilst Joker and EDI let loose up in the helm. It would have given some more credit to Joker being the best damned pilot in the Galaxy if we got to see him carve up Cerberus/Reaper ships with our best girl Normandy.

As much as I agree that it would've been cool for the Normandy to see more action (considering the upgrades we get in the second game), it wouldn't make much sense. From day 1, the Normandy (Both SR1 and SR2) has been a stealth and recon ship. It's not designed to see combat for long periods of time, and can be easily destroyed, just like at the beginning of the second game.
@blackstag9366

@@speedle9190 Not exactly, the Normandy has the armour plating, barriers, and weapons to go up against a super high tech Cruiser now, which it did in the collector base assault. With stealth systems that render it nearly immune to non-traditional tracking weapons that rely on that sort of thing. It also has the best pilot in the galaxy at it's helm and an AI built for naval cyberwarfare. The Normandy would be an absolute menace on the battlefield. Also consider: - Normandy is sent to battle Sovereign on the front lines, if it didn't make sense why was she there? - Normandy took on the Collector Cruiser, if upgraded fully, with barely any damage. Most of the damage came from colliding with the actual base itself. - Normandy is sent up into the massive battle above earth in the final moments of ME3, instead of being sent down into Earth's atmo to engage ground hostiles. This means Shepard thought she would have been more effective killing actual Reapers than grounded troops. Even then, I'm not talking about a prolonged ping pong match of Battleships. I'm more referring to the incredible hit and run capabilities it has. With a Thanix cannon strapped to it's underbelly, an incredible pilot, an AI, and enough barriers/armour to act as a Cruiser class vessel, we could have had some awesome missions where we blitz our way through sluggish, more lumbering ships whilst ripping through them with a weapon no other frigate can match. It'd be like trying to swat a fly on crack. Except the fly is also carrying a glock and has aimbot.
