I was going to leave another comment on the Dawn of the Reapers page but after getting partly through it I decided to just put it on the forums
Here's how far I got in the comment:
"Also I know that this decision has probably already been made and I simply plea for your forgiveness for asking this but I simply want to voice my opinion and give feedback/constructive criticism. I've been looking at the roster for ships and I just think that it would be a lot cooler if Harbinger was one of the Titans. I'm frankly not even sure you guys aren't planning him to be, but I heard that the Geth Dreadnought was planned to be one of the with Ravager the other. I would frankly love to see the Geth Dreadnought as the Support Capital ship. It would just be more immersive to not see multiple Harbingers flying around lol."
So I worked out a list of how I personally would like to see the roster for DOTR end up. This is only my personal preference and would like to note that I'm only suggesting and not telling lol. I know a lot of the fans get on here and tell you what you should do because its what they think is best. I'm only trying to offer constructive feedback and suggestions which you are perfectly at liberty to completely ignore if you so choose
Also, sorry for the MASSIVE TEXT WALL lol

*It would be cool to have an indoctrination defense that could turn enemy ships friendly.*
**Starbase: Whatever you guys do, this should be a reaper looking station and I beg you not to use the collector base. The collector base should be a planet type added into the game just like the citadel should be. That way I can keep it from being in there for one thing but can add it in when I want. I would just hate to be playing a game that should feel like ME3 and just keep seeing collector bases everywhere, not to mention that in ME2 it pretty much stated that the Collector Base had no outer defenses.

I don't know what to do with this one: Collector Battleship - media.moddb.com/images/mods/1/18/17952/Collector_Battleship.jpg
It just feels like it doesn't belong, the collectors shouldn't be a huge presence in the galaxy. I like them as light forces and scouts and then having the occasional Collector Cruiser as a capital ship and at least in my opinion, the more collector ship models that can be replaces with geth ship models or reaper variants the better.
I ended up sticking it with the Starbase killer, it seemed to work there if it had to be put somewhere.
I would overall like to see everything associated with the Reapers look more Reaper and not as much collector or geth. They should be included, but the overall feel should be the Reapers with Geth and Collector thralls, and not an even split. However, I know that there is a distinctive lack of source material for say a Reaper space station. So with that in mind, I am liking the designs of your orbital structures
Keep up the fantastic work Lord_Set and hopefully you understand that this is only constructive criticism and not meant to be any comment against your models or your work, everything is fantastic so far!
P.S. I hope this is readable. I viewed the preview which was pretty horrific.
