Alphafox Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 The grineer would be REALLY BUT REALLY STUPID to attack that relay. Seriously does it really matters? It's just logical, you can see that relay as a beginner relay for new players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfDarkShadow Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 So we are so powerful, we can fight off entire grineer army just like its nothing? Well...yeah. Have you not played any Grineer-related missions before? xD We've probably killed hundreds, even thousands in just a few missions lol. Silly Tenno.

mrhat.lf Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Are the grineer really going to try to stop 20,000 super-soldiers with space wings all in one place? It would be an utter massacre. And if you happen to bring the wrong loadout, you could always go to the navigation area to change loadouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katakuna Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Yeah, it's pretty weird that it still exists. People seem to forget that the Tenno are only badasses on land and in small space skirmishes. They don't have warships. The Grineer have the largest, deadliest fleet in the solar system. They could obliterate that relay with absolutely no effort, and there would be nothing the Tenno or anyone else could do about it. The only possible reason that the relay is still there is because of some unexplained cloaking technology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintLucifer Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 If i remember right, the devs once showed some images of Tenno warships, so i suppose we are not that under equiped as we think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinReplica Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I see the Relay Hubs as neutral zones agreed upon by all factions. Remember, the Corpus do business with the Grineer, and they both do business with the Tenno. There must be a middle ground for these arrangements to take place. Think of them as Midnite's club in Constantine. These exist in real life between enemy factions, as well. And, no, not the magical nightclubs for angels and demons run by voodoo priests.

Phaenur Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Space is big. There's no real indication of how close to Earth the relay is, and even if there're just some sensor dampening systems in place - heatsinks, less reflective materials, some sort of spectral analysis spoofer (Space Magic ) - let alone cloaking, the Grineer and Corpus would almost never find us except through sheer luck. Even with the modern array of telescopes and satellites we have scanning the skies we're still only looking at a very small fraction of the spherical space around Earth, and even with the battle fleets in place that's still not actually all that much better unless they're coordinating them all to scan for something they probably don't even know exists. Oh, and "Strata Relay #3" or whatever isn't actually a lore thing, just a server tracker since they can't support that many players in close proximity. The Old Republic has Coruscant 1-3 half the time for the very same reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechNexus Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Plenty of possible reasons: 1. It's concealed 2. It's an agreed neutral zone and the grineer would be stupid and/or suicidal to break that truce. 3. Nanomachines (son) 4. It's just a game, you should really just relax.

Hypernaut1 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 (edited) space is like- really big. The grinneer aren't looking at a navigation map like we have in the game with a big glaring "tenno hub" sign. Im sure its possible to hide a relatively TINY (microscopic even) station like that in the vastness of space. That- and its just a game. Its more of a gameplay feature than part of lore.

Catastropherz Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Maybe becuase Grineer is in this Relay too. Remember the Steel Meridian? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-HAKUNA-YOUR-TATAS- Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 -snip- 2. It's an agreed neutral zone and the grineer would be stupid and/or suicidal to break that truce. -snip- All your other reasons are good, but this one.. Lol we're breakin' the truce all the time bro. We just board their ships and slaughter them, because an AI tells us to. They're just defending themselves. XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azawarau Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Even if the grineer cant fight off the Tenno it isnt wise to place ourselves right in their line of sight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiraShado Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 On the point of "Why we don't just murder the queens?", our precious Lotus does talk about balance and all. "The system continues to fall into chaos. Check navigation for active invasions" We know Lotus upholds balance greater than Oberon, so maybe that's why we haven't killed the leaders of one of the most dangerous races in the solar system?

Revenant102 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 It's almost certainly the gulf of space doing most of the work. Even if the relay was in one of the more obvious places to put such a construct it's ultimately not that large, and detecting, identifying, and intercepting a small anomalous contact is a significant undertaking to find out you just launched a fleet at a rogue comet or a particularly metallic asteroid.

Stonehenge17 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 easy fix just have the grineer/corpus ships fire at the hubs constantly and add a mini-game where you control guns attached to the hub to fight them off. If enough land you get an invasion event by the corpus/infested/grineer which you can elect to take back. I mean trying to sell your wares and all of a sudden getting scorpion-harpooned away from the console would be irritatingly funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FATEdPondera Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Theory 1: It's not just the Tenno. It's all other syndicates as well. The Grineer are at odds with Steel Meridian, on account of them trying to save the colonies the Grineer are trying to blow up, and the Red Veil....or at least that guy on the radio going "That better not be a Red Veil badge!" doesn't sound happy to see them. Attacking the Stratos relay would also kill representatives of the Perrin Sequence, and that would cause a huge diplomatic incident with the Corpus, not to mention New Loka.... it might not be a good idea to make the people who've learned how to tame healer ancients angry. Theory 2: Despite how often we just wreck a faction's face, everyone HAS to realize how necessary we are. Every time an infested spore lands on a planet and triggers an outbreak, the Grineer and Corpus have no idea how to handle it. A LOT of people can die from this and then are reanimated as infested abominations. The Tenno are really the only things that can stop an infestation reliably without massive loss of life. Also, as much as we kill one faction, we help out the other in invasions nearly as often. Even the Grineer have to realize that, without us, fighting the Corpus would become much much harder. Theory 3: The relay itself is a dark sector of sorts, hidden within an artificially created void pocket. You know how we need keys to access void towers? Same basic concept. It exists slightly out of phase with the rest of reality, so without the relays linking to it, a Grineer warfleet both would not be able to find it, and move through the same point that it is occupying in space without ever realizing it, on account of its intangibility.

Zeromanicus Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I could come up with several justifications, the views of earth are exaggerated via magnification through the 'windows', we aren't actually in orbit. The main one though, is that the relay and all traffic to and from the relay is cloaked. I'm sure the DEvs can come up with something.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melos-mevim Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Maybe there is some conspiracy between lotus frahd bek and the grineer queens, maybe really there is no war, all this conflict is caused by them pulling some strings to have their factions fight for a bitresutling in lots of lives lost. Tenno, grineer, corpus we are all being deceived! We are puppets in the sick games of twisted leaders. *puts on tin foil hat* The relays are not attacked because the leaders dont want them attacked....

FATEdPondera Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 The relays are not attacked because the leaders dont want them attacked.... YET Vay Hek: Ah, my most trusted scout, back from the front. I trust you have some new information about the precise abilities of the Tenno in preparation for our attack on the Stratos Relay? Scout: Yes, Councillor... I have seen a Tenno who can control ice as well as another who can control fire. She is extremely adept at handling infestations.... I have also seen Tenno who can tear apart reality, replace space and time with their own alternate dimension, another who can manipulate light itself.... and my entire scouting team was killed by a Tenno who.... she killed them with a pair of pistols in an eyeblink, councillor. Vay hek: and there are thousands of Tenno at these relays.... o.o... more preparations are needed.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
