I can't be the only one who thinks killing hundreds of Milky-way homies is starting to put a dent in the gene pool. What would you guess the total population of exiled to be to begin with? Is the Nexus keeping up their end and exiling people fast enough to fill my crosshairs?
With the addition of them killing each other I'm glad you cannot kill shuttle pilots - or they would quickly run out of viable ways to bring me more people to kill.
Bit of a plot hole indeed. Can't have been more than a few thousand exiles at most (given that most of the population(s) making the journeys are in the Arcs, not the Nexus). And I've killed a thousand or so outlaw/collective operatives....that pretty much wraps up the exile problem, no? Addison?

Live and let live, or I let you live after I take your stuff, do not seem to be viable options. At least whichever gang you side with seems to quit forcing you shoot them when you pick a side. With respawning it does feel like self destructive genocide.
I'd guess the Nexus population pre-revolt was probably somewhere in the range of 1500-2000 people, with barely enough supplies for only a few months. Construction, station security, medical, and administration primarily, with most of the rebellion being construction and station security. The Krogan complement probably wasn't particularly sizable, but with Krogan it doesn't necessarily have to be, so long as the Krogan are central to any choke point. We can reasonably assume a third of the station population, plus the Krogan, didn't rebel, so even with numbers on their side the resultant exiles still would've lost.
I'd guess the total population of exiled would be in the 700-900 range. Pile on another 90-150 Krogan who left for Elaaden after Spender and Tann * 'em over. With about a third of the population, if this is the point where they attempted colonization of Eos on their own, they then lose another 5-10% to Eos, 80% go back into cryo, and a skeleton crew of administrators, a core science/medical team, security (who form the station militia) and construction are barely able to keep things from completely falling apart for a year before the Hyperion shows up.
Note I'm assuming roughly a 20% casualty rate for the rebels assuming a broken command structure and an "every man for himself" attitude versus a 10% casualty rate for the loyalists, due to the participation of the Krogan, and the loyalist militia being composed mostly of Turians (where we're assuming they're nearly all ex-military).
And yeah, this is all wild mass-guessing on my part.

Well my first PT I killed under 2000 enemies total, that is including kett and creatures. So it may feel as if you are killing a lot but its probably not as much as you think in a single pt, even with respawns. Admittedly I did miss some quests that time (80%ish complete). Even so the total of outlaws killed wasn't that much- it just feels like it 😃
There is also a lot of angara mixed in with the outlaws too. So that lowers it even further.
No MP becaus3 i dont do MP just a straight play of the game.
After three PTs,I don't recall killing many humans.
Yeah, that was pretty much the one reason why I chose Drack's team (and not simply because I took Drack with me on that mission 😉) - either we lose the Salarian Pathfinder, who will die of old age in 20-30 years anyway, or we lose a bunch of Krogan that then get exalted and I end up with Drack pissed off at me.
It's not much of a choice. Most of the major ones I take a few seconds to think about. Not this one. That Salarian was a dead frog walking before the dialogue finished. 😛

LOLOL
I had to reload an older save a few times with the Asari though.
I think she was 100% right and all the options are bad.
Sarissa would have gotten a medal if it were all up to me.
Cora might have been put out an airlock.
It was terribly written. No Asari pathfinder would beg for help at the cost of her own people. She'd have ORDERED Sarissa to do what she did.

I had a moral dilema with this one because like 10 mins before she didn't hesitate to jump into the fire to save our * when we needed it, and got some of her team injured in the process. I didn’t feel right not to return the favour.

According to the prequel novel, it was closer to 1000 people pre-revolt.

Okay, so I've personally made survival of the species that much harder.... 😉 1091 Outlaws defeated (so far) http://imgur.com/GnGpbH9
