^^Dude for the love of all that is holy can you PLEASE stop going on about what the ME3 devs said about the game. Everyone knows that devs just spew a bunch of PR and taking their word for anything that relates to their game is like trusting a complete stranger to hold on to all of your money.
Also I would like to say it's just as much speculation that the Sol Mass Relay could have a big enough explosion to destroy Earth. Mass Relays don't automatically destroy solar systems, they destroy whatever is in their blast radius (which to be fair is pretty freaking big). Basically if there's a Mass Relay waaaay at the end of the solar system (like it is in the Sol system) it probably won't be hitting Earth...especially if Earth is on the opposite side of the sun from the Mass Relay. Like it or not there is a better chance that Earth survived than got destroyed from the explosion.

I didn't want to get back into this with you again... But here we go.
First of all to you're 1st point. That would be all well and good if the game wasn't finished, but since it was and they still flat out lied i think bioware deserves all the backlash they get from fans, Don't you??. think about it?, they knew the game had this shitty A,B,C ending. Yet they told the fans it wouldn't have an A,B,C ending. So was that not flat out lying like i said?, should we all be happy they told us Fans lies??. No we shouldn't that's why they deserve everything they are getting atm. And why they are going to fix it.
Now on to you're 2nd point, That is also speculation on you're behalf as no where in the ME games does it say it doesn't destory a "Whole" solar system. As going by the arrivel DLC it shows it does in fact Destory a whole Solar system. Plus like i said before if you watch the endings again you will see the explusion from them blowing up pretty much devouring the whole soloar system where they are based. So we have facts to go by there, what you are going by is like i said before speculation, Unless you can prove me wrong somehow with proof??, and not just speculation....

You've got to pay a little more attention to both the Codex and the dialogues on Arrival. They say that a relay exploding releases the energy equivalent of a Supernova and Supernovas don't exactly destroy a whole system, especially since most of them collapse after a set energy has been released. See the formation of black holes, neutron stars (commonly known as Pulsars) and other Supernova related phenomenae in RL. And since the existance of planets surrounding neutron stars have been confirmed ( http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17732735, http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2007MNRAS.381L...1L), there's the possibility that not all planets would have been destroyed with a Relay explosion.

Ok so maybe a few planets might of survived, but do you really think shaperd would of took that chance??, its way out of charactor for him to accept the choices he was giving by that dumb star kid.

I agree with you and I don't think that the relays exploding as they did wasn't really well thought off. Now, I think the developers wanted to convey that everything related to the technology left behind by the reapers has to dissapear completely in order for the species to follow their own technological paths instead of those pre-ordained by the Reapers themselves, but the execution caused a bit of problems based on the Lore.
Then again, I've taken the time to look closely at the differences between the Alpha Relay explosion scenes, and the ending Relays explosion scenes and there are quite some differences, but there's one I think it's the most important of all. When the asteroid hits the Alpha Relay, you see it destroying the rings that support the massive Eezo core and then the core itself undergoing a massive chain reaction that culminates into the nova itself; on the contrary, in the endings, the Eezo cores of the relays don't undergo a chain reaction, but instead you see the relays powering up massively and shooting the entire content of the core into a next Relay, like they do when a ship travels through them. When the Relays finally explode, there's no Eezo core in it, which undoubtly would have caused a far smaller explosion.

I can't really dissagree with much of what you said, one cos it all pretty much sounds good and 2 cos im drunk lol xD. But the is one thing, you also see that Relay beem spreading out in a big circle as it hits each relay, now i could be wrong put id imagine that's the enargy destorying whatever isin its path at that stage, and them circles are big.
