Overpowered biotics [Cora's loyalty mission spoilers]

I have no problem with people who say they accept this scene and see no problem with it. After all, different peopel have different tolerances and expectation when it comes to lore consistence. However, I have to say I strongly disagree with anyone who says this is not lore shaterring.

I mean, let's compare Cora's and Sarissa's bubble with the one from the Suicide Mission and the one Asari soldier use in the Priority Thessia mission. Like Obi Wan did with Darth Maul, I'll divide this in two parts:

1) Size: The Bubble from the suicide mission is quite large. I'd say it has some 10~15 meters of diameter. But let's say 50 meters taking in consideration the part where it becomes a kind of shockwave. The one in Thessia was smaller, say 5~10 meters. Cora's? Well, it was enough to cover the entire Ark and project foward, growing in size. I'll be extremely conservative here and say it was 2.000 meters in diameter. That's 40 times the size of the SM one. That's a lot. Expect not really because we should be talkig about area. So the biotic field created to protect the Asari ark is, in area, 1600 times bigger than the one from the Suicide Mission. One, I might add, that was (could be) created by Jack and Samara, the former is definitely the most powerful human biotic and Samara is, in the worst possible scenario, just a little bit weaker than Sarissa. If the Huntress is a 10, Samara would be a 9,8 or 9,9. And so, if we consider that the biotic energy needed to created a biotic field is direct proportinal to its area, we would need to say Cora and Sarissa are somehow 800 times more powerful than Jack or Samara. And that's not even the worst part.

2) Deflection: The SM's field didn't have to deflect any incoming missile, indeed, it avoided any type of weapon and deflected exclusively the seeker swarm. However, there were many of them and they kept pouding the bubble for a long time, that was enough to push two of the most powerful biotics in the Milk Way to their limits. The one in Thessia however did deflect missiles, but those were anti-personal and relatively slow. Sarrissa's? Oh, it only deflect dozens of ANTI SHIP ORDINANCES. Imagine how powerful a missile designed to take out dreadnoughts are. I think, even the most conservative person will agree they are order of magnitudes more powerful than a small, anti-personal or even anti-tank rocket. Imagine the speed they were travelling (anti-ship missiles in space have to be designed to travel hundreds of km in short times), and their weight! If they were solid pieces of rock, their sheer size, weight and speed would already made their deflection extremely demanding, but many of them exploded when it hit the barrier! On top of it all, many of them were deflect into the Kett vessel and were enough to destroy it, further evidence of their massive power.

I mean, you can't even begin to compare. Just think of the implication of such a feat. Why did Asari ships needed weapon in the OT? Just put a ring of a few hundred of Asari and you're done! So I'd say the Star Wars comparison made earlier in this threat to be quite reasonable.

The worst part is, if the Tempest had some sort of defense it could have used it to protect the Ark with would lead to a much more satysfing cutscene (in my view). And by that time, the Tempest having guns would be extremely reasonable! We were already in full scale war with the Kett and in direct conflict with a faction of the Angara. Which, by the way, saw the guns in Ai personal as a threat... so much for not arming the ships to look non threatening.

Anyway, this is a cutscene that is better forgotten. Otherwise we need to say Cora is a botic god, easily capable to create a small 200 meters biotic bubble to defend the tempest against a barrage of missiles.

Edit: About the time the biotics field were "on", I'll just ask this: what is easier, lifting 5 kg for 5 minutes or 50 tons for 10 seconds?
