Yeah, that's what someone said above. We'll never know.

I'm guessing She thought he would move his base.

To speak positively for a second, sitting in the Illusive Man's chair was one of my favorite moments of the game.
"Shepard, you're in my chair" fucking slayed me.

I think Liara also went there in one of the comics. They just decided not to mention any of that, I guess.
That's the kind of plot hole I'm okay with. Trying to find his base is much more interesting than just being told.
Brilliant.
I think that's why I liked ME2 the most. It focused on individuals and their specific stories instead of the grander scoped stories where Bioware seems to forget their own lore.

He has multiple bases and moves constantly.

It's foreshadowing for the new iOS game, Poker Night at the Normandy.
I think you see James and Garrus there at least one time. Or was it James and Kaidan? I forgot.

Strip poker with Tali, and you can have my 1600 Bioware points.

Why? I consider Synthesis to be the "right" ending.
However, everyone wants Shepard to live, so I'm seeing most people side with the Renegade/Destroy option.
In the end, the problem with the ending isn't the content or the three choices; it's the brevity of the 3 minute cutscene after the choice is made. It felt super rushed for me.

There are multiple giant stars in galaxy.
There's literally hundreds of billions of stars in the Milky Way Galaxy, which should still mean billions of giants.

He got baby reapers parts from the collector base I blew up. So moving a sun should be little challenge

How convenient that all of his bases are in front of a similar one. Do they all change color as well?

If you choose paragon in ME2, it becomes blue!
(He picks giant stars because they help him hide)

Both the synthesis option and the controlling reapers option means that the reapers won. You've been indoctrinated.
Charred human/reaper heart is delicious.
I had an argument with a coworker yesterday about when the Illusive Man became indoctrinated. Was it pre-ME2, during ME2, or between ME2 and ME3? I thought he was already sleeping with the enemy in ME2.
It also keeps him wicked tan.
Hackett even warns you to keep mindful of the enemy and remember to destroy them as they hope to destroy you. Synthesis is weaksauce.
Someone told me in one of earlier cycles of this thread that was James and Kaidan. Since the latter never survived a single playthrough of ME1 for me, I didn't see it. Still way underused in any case.
they dont change colour, the blue and red stars are separate bases.

I don't know, it looks the same to me. Maybe it's my ignorance of astronomy.
So based on being Renegade or Paragon, he'd decide to change bases? That's odd.
Makes sense, I suppose if you go to the trouble of building a Bond villain style viewing room, you are gonna want to get some good use out of it.
or maybe it's some kind of fetish.

People don't advocate the Destroy ending because they want Shepard to live. They advocate it because fuck the Reapers, fuck the God Child, let all of those genocidal abominations burn. Millions of years of horrors inflicted on the Galaxy. Anything less than their complete and utter destruction is an injustice.
Well stars don't usually come in other shapes except sphere.

Synthesis is not right. Its probably the stupidest of the three choices. What gives you the right to play God? Why should you believe anything Catalyst says? How the fuck does everything, even plants, turn into cyborgs?

Loved Mordin. Probably my favourite character after Garrus and Tali.
Still can't wrap my head over the explanations given by the child AI (or whatever it is) at the end of the game and I've watched the conversation three times today.

Imagine one day, you wake up and your skin is glowing green, your computer suddenly has intestines and your house is screaming in pain
yup, it was kaidan and james. Kaidan lost everything..lol
which is funny cuz james kept losing to random ppl in the beginning but his luck change as time went on
People do realize that if they do make a new ending, it'll probably suck, right?
I doubt they'll give it a proper budget and they probably won't have access to most of the VA that they'd need for a proper ending (because of money and scheduling).
On top of that it'll be written by writers who probably are resenting their fans right now, and will probably have to go through Mac Walters and Casey Hudson because they're in charge.

I just heard someone clearly lay it out what the theory is.
But it gives the kid a purpose, explains why the destroy option is red
Does shepard only live in the destroy ending, just a quick question?

It gives Bioware way more credit then they are due. Also they are the delusions of a rabid fan base.
Seriously you guys arguing about the color of the star are putting way too much thought into it. Bioware thought it would be neat so they did it. The reason both Miranda and Liara don't know where the base as is because they probably never flew their themselves so they never had the coordinates to give.
Guess we are at the point where most would accept a Dragon Age style Powerpoint Presentation.

Kaidan plays there at least once.
Seeing as two of the defining plot threads throughout the series, the genophage and the geth/quarian war, are about allowing species the freedom to choose their destiny for themselves, the singularity path makes even less sense.
I can see how the writers thought it would sound like a beautifully elegant and post-modern sci-fi ending, but personally I found it abhorrent. A machine giving Shephard the right to irrevocably change all species forever without their consent. Isn't that what we were fighting against?

And committing genocide by destroying all synthetics, including the Geth and EDI, is any better? You're no better than the Reapers there -- and you're playing God, just the same.
Are synthetics really alive?

It also means that Shepard accomplishes nothing. The main plot goes unresolved. This theory just provides an out for Bioware to create the true ending.

Do androids dream of electric sheep?
After 5 years, they provide us a jumbled mess of an ending...there has to be something we are missing...right?
Renagade shepard should have been able to walk in and see half his crew playing a game and no one invited him
