HOW TO LEAVE THE CITADEL MASS EFFECT 1 SERIES

None the less I thought I would share my over-thought.thoughts on the battle, and would welcome any rebuttals or discussion on it. Obviously this is all nit picking, and honestly the battle was pretty badass to watch, making it more a victim of 'Rule of Cool' Why didn't council frigates and cruisers, the ships who could handle these 'Melee' battles, get sent towards the Geth ships? Towards the end it becomes obvious the Geth did this, but they did it to the ship that couldn't handle it, the Ascension. In the codex entry on space combat its stated that after a bit of throwing Mass Accelerator slugs at each other, fighting fleets normally get really close to each other so they can start burning each other with GARDIAN lasers and such. Wouldn't it make more sense to put the Council on a smaller, possibly stealthed ship? Or maybe throw them in a heavily guarded bunker somewhere on the citadel itself? Its sure as hell not a good idea to put them on the most targeted ship in the fleet.ДЄ failure to close to melee range (Except for the ships not equipped for such combat)

This is even shown in ME1 where the Destiny Ascension is getting its teeth kicked in and is only saved if a full fleet of alliance ships come and save it. The Destiny Ascension is the biggest/most powerful ship in the council fleets, so it makes some sense that you would want to put the most important people in the galaxy on the ship if the place was ever attacked.Д®xcept that an attacking fleet would probably prioritize targeting on the ship that dwarfs all the other ships. So why were Turian dreadnaughts and the Destiny Ascension on the front lines of the battle? Wouldn't it have made sense for the biggest ships to be in the back for fire support while frigates and cruisers attack the Geth lines?Д®vacuating the council to the Destiny Ascension is a HORRIBLE idea

In the various codex entries it is stated that dreadnaughts, the biggest damn things in the galaxy, are great at hitting things from far away with big goddam guns, but can't do crap if something gets to close for its guns to track. The fleet formation goes against the stated doctrine of space combat

To add to all of this there isn't a risk of enemies coming from all directions, as the nebula around the citadel is considered too dangerous to travel through, as kinetic barriers do nothing against its dangerous electrical discharges.ДЄll in all the fleet was doing more harm than good being so close to the citadel. Three, if ships in the fleet are destroyed they run the risk of their debris also hitting the wards, causing even more civilian deaths. Two, the fleet should have been near the Mass Relay itself, this way it gives the citadel time to close, as well as minimizes the chances of a accelerator round hitting the station itself. One, if a Mass Accelerator round hit even one ward of the citadel, millions would die, as these rounds have been told to cause more damage than atmoic bombs. In the scene where Sovereign and the Geth fleet arrive its quite clear that the Citadel fleet is close the Citadel itself, and no where near the mass relay into the system. The Citadel Fleet put the Citadel itself at risk In case you don't remember the defense of the citadel, or don't know what I'm talking about, I've provided a link. Why? Well lets go over the biggest mistakes. The defense of the citadel against the geth was the biggest military blunder ever conceived in a fictional universe.

Lately I decided to play through the entire Mass Effect series again, just cause I'm like that, and while finishing ME1 I noticed something.
