Okay, first off, I think Herb is not really needed, at all.
Secondly, inserting Ranma is very easy, even more so if you want to dump all of the Nerima gang.
How?
Kasumi Goto or in japanish, Goto Kasumi.
See how ypu almost get "Go to Kasumi"?

Yes, turn Kasumi into Ranma, who is restricting herself a bit.
With Eezo base gravity manipulation and force field projectors...
Well, you could always be walking around in high gravity, like in Dragonball (Z) its high gravity training chambers, you know.
I can also see Ranma acting as a modern day Robin Hood slash Batman.

Umi Sen Ken needs a piece of fabric or something else, to tie itself too, what about a forcefield, using the vacuum blades from the Yami Sen Ken as part of the technique?
Add to this the holoprojector technology that uses the shield panels as projector screens and...

Just let Ranma after ME1, start stealing any and all data about stealthship designs.
Thus neting the SR1, SR2 and Tempest designs.
If you use the SR2 its body as the main factor, with the wings of the SR1...
Well, then you can slot in piece of the Tempest into the resulting hole, like beafing up the wings or making deck one bigger and thus actually having a reason for that neck/back/top bulb.
Increased engineerings room would then also be possible, together with a more logical deck two, that uses SR1 staircases to connect to deck one, which then has gained the ME3 SR2 warrroom as well on deck one it's Tempest expension in place of the hangarbay of that Tempest expension of deck one.

The main problem would be the frame design and construction.
But I can not see Ranma not having a AI friend, you?

I can see Ranma stealing from Cerberus, whatever (s)he needs.
Remember, while on a planet, Ranma is strong, in space Ranma gets weak by the way space fights happen.

I would think that with such a build, Ranma should be able to get all the needed materials way before its time, maybe enough to also construct a Adromeda Inititive Arc as well.
Main danger for Ranma, would then be the Asari, who would see some human gall that should be a old granny by now, not looking as she did, during the first contact war.

Keeping Ranma out ME1, makes it so that the destruction of the SR1 and the shove everything under the carpet, stick head in the sand reaction of the whole Citadel Council, drows Ranma out in order to really take stock of things.

Interesting, I’m curious what class Shepard is. Also since Shep’s sections are so small in this Fic you could easily rewrite the character into being a Female. I’ll just point to my previous review for the reasons why. That’s my big suggestion for this story.

So far I’m liking this Fic, but there are a couple things I think you’re missing out on.

One you aren’t using a Female Shepard (who you misspelled in this chapter). Male Shep is okay, but frankly I think the Female version would connect better to Herb and Ranma given their curses. Given that you want them to most likely get on the Normandy with Shep, it would help them connect with a female rather than a male.

Two you aren’t showcasing the Salarians enough, maybe you’ll touch on them more in the next two chapters. Solus would make a great companion to the two, and given their natural healing tendencies they could help him cure the Genophage. He would be highly interested in meeting them.

Actually so would Thane, given how he is dying of a disease in 2 I’d prefer to see him live past the events of 3.

Other than that like I said it’s good so far. Hope you come back to it eventually.

super, will you ever continua this fic? when will ranma meet his child?xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

This is what I want to read the others are nice but way over done pls update this more

Harry potter geth is a good well written hp/tali fanfiction it is as you phrased a bit deus ex machina with how powerful harry potter is in it but at the same time you have pretty much just as many issues with ranma in general with that especially with how you had him get much of his techniques without the main plot line but hey you have a good story and many that one could get more ideas going oh and if you want to reply to me my phone automatically logged me out and I'm too lazy to log back in but my user name is docscherer

While it does feature a fair number of OC's, Look up "Mass Effect; Of Lions and Angels" by JerseyDaniels. Bit nerdy in parts, a little tech heavy and uses a more realistic modernizing of current weapons and tech. Also, super dark in places. But still a great read. As for your story, Love it. Has the right blend of Ranma zanyness and ME's grit. Greatly looking forward to the next chapter.

I miss this story so much!

An excellent and fun story so far. Ranma was my first anime series when I was introduced to it while in university. As such I really enjoy good Ranma fanfiction such as this. It is unfortunate that contract negotiations with your striking muse have gone on so long such that it is now approaching two years since you updated this story. I'll be adding it to my watch and favorites lists in hope that your muse will return to work. Thank you for sharing this. Now I'm off to check out your other Ranma fics.

Love this one too

rip a fic that died before it started

BRILLIANT WORK AS ALWAYS cheers me up !

Update when your able please.

So I finally caught up on this story and read about your lack of motivation. I don’t know much about the ME series so I don’t know what you’ve changed or haven’t but I have to state...

Despite your intent to make this an epic story similar to Horse of the Force, I honestly feel like you could wrap it up in a chapter or two. Much like your hsotd xover, this is about them getting into a place where they can cut loose and explore. And while reading about their adventures would be great, I feel like if you tie up a few plot lines (maybe the Asari they’re hunting and the purging of the bandit den alongside the stealth specter being pulled off the case now that she’s on the news), you could end it with them getting their ship and leaving to explore the galaxy. Leaving it a touch open ended but complete unless you ever get a surge of motivation. It’s not a perfect end but finishing it on the note ‘and so they pursue their dreams to explore and learn, but most of all to live free’ kind of situation isn’t bad at all.

Nice story ! Could you update it soon ? Anyway, keep up the good work ! :)
