Wow, Moshae surprises me

That's the angarra for you. Honestly you can't really blame her. A. She is a practical woman and knows what keeping that facility means. Keeping it. And endured who knows how many months of torture...and here this punk human comes along and risks subjecting more of her people to that? Especially for an angarra damn straight she'd be pissed.

I've done both too. She stops being accusatory towards Ryder immediately after their conversation in the Tempest med bay, though, and her dialogue is exactly the same for both choices from then on.

there were a lot of Kett reinforcements on the way. Like a couple of Capitol ships worth plus maybe the Archon themselves. This would make the job that much harder the second time. Plus,and this is speculation, but the Kett would have probably changed the access codes.

Yeah, I always felt like saving them was kind of a bullshit 'choice' they added in also in part to create tension with either jaal or moshae as well as to just give some option. I can't believe it but I regret not blowing it up. I always destroyed it because I felt that was the best choice in the long run and worth the lives it cost. It's funny because it shows how emotional Jaal is that he cannot see that choice will save more in the long run than the few you save then. Now that you are in the picture it will be even harder for them to get that facility up and running again. I mean if they can't retake any of the other places you shut down like the one in Eos and the one on Voeld then they surely can't retake an exaltation facility that you blow up. I can't believe it but I feel like I want to go back and change that decision. When I initially chose to destroy it my thoughts were specifically 'and they would just stand by and let you do it?'

Agree, why not blow up the ship as well. Or even gather more intel. Through the whole game I was stunned that we were not trying to gather intel on them. We shut down all these facilities and have all that access but we never actually take all their files or hack it all. We have a supercomputer AI and we still don't! Even if we don't get enough to tell us everything about them we could surely get something to gain more insight into them. I feel like the they worked extra hard to keep us in the dark about them.

I find it odd that there isn't an option to free them now and destroy it later. Ok not really odd. They needed a binary choice for gameplay. But logically, real resistance fighters would not just give up and let that processing plant stay in operation.

I'd guess that's exactly what happens off camera

I've done both as well, saving the Angara prisoners and blowing up the facility. I felt better about saving the prisoners but, damn, that facility is all kinds of evil so I understand why the Moshae wanted it gone.

All you did was sacrifice tens of thousands more angara just to save the ones in the facility.

Or, instead of making prisoners, the Kett will now kill the Angara directly. I find saving the captives the best option. 

But that would really serve to solidify why you have to destroy it. Nobody there could argue that it's best to save them then have a pissy fit with you for blowing it up.

People really fell for Jaal's sentimentality?

Are there any other facilities we know about in the area or are the kett incapable of building another one?
