and yet Mass Effect is? ME's weapons suck, not even a real military.
Yes it is. And if you don't want to look at that, compare the other two examples I gave. But then again, I bet you've never seen/read any Dune content or heard of Known Space.
Ringworld is a story about the discovery of the Ringworld by explorers Lousi Wu (200 years old) another Human (his lover, cant remember name) a Puppateer named Nessus (two headed, cowardly alien, save for Nessus, who is considered insane due to his daring) and a Kzin (sort of a cat-like brute)
It was written by Larry Niven. General Products hulls can be destroyed only by anti-matter bombs on account of them being a single grown-out molecule, but high impact forces could still kill the occupants. The Ring is one AU in size built by a race initially supposed to have no knowledge of FTL, so incapable of expanding beyond their solar system, so used the solar system to build the massive Ringworld
Fleet of Worlds is literally a fleet of planets to escape a galaxy sterilizing supernova. They are controlled by the Puppateers.
Don't make assumptions about things you are uncertain of, I DO know what known space is. Dune, however, I do not know about.
Now: Mass Effect's weapons are inferior in everyway to even the UNSC's. The ships can take punishment only in the 30's kiloton range in ME. The UNSC Frigate's main gun fires at a range of 60-70 kilotons per shot, wheras the SMAC fires at 56 gigatons per shot.
Nukes are outlawed in ME. They are used extensively in Halo, ranging from nuclear grenades a little larger then the Fat Man, to planet crushing mega weapons ranging in the petatons (NOVA)
UNSC was capable of launching nukes through slipspace, just didn't work well on ground targets.
The Covenant surpasses the UNSC in every way save for their super weapons, and yet you say the Mass Effect universe is superior? Especially when the Mass Effect universe has no energy shields to defend against energy weapons? Only kinetic barriers?
C'mon...
