here's how I did it. And before I say anything else. All of your squad has to be loyal and you need ALL Normandy upgrades if you want everyone to survive. You HAVE TO ask every squad member for upgrades in conversations and then have the recources for each upgrade, INCLUDING Legion. If several squad mates are not loyal and you don't have all upgrades it might just be impossible to get them all through alive. So...here's what I did:

-I did ALL loyalty missions and got all my squad mates loyal.

-When Jack and Miranda have their heated discussion I picked the blue replies so both of them calm down and I did not have to pick any sides.

-You do the same thing when Tali and Legion have their heated discussion.
(Pick a side in either case and one of the 2 won't be loyal anymore)

-I did all possible loyalty missions BEFORE I got the Reaper FFS and then did Legion's loyalty mission right away and I chose to NOT destroy the heretics

-Then when the crew gets kidnapped there is no time to waste and you got to use the Omega 4 relay right away. If you wait too long then Kelly and others will die.

-As for the suicide mission itself. I picked Tali for the tech stuff, Garrus to be the team leader, I sent Mordin away to take the crew to the Normandy. I picked Jack to to the biotics stuff. Not sure what else you have to do but that's what I remember.

I have not lost a single squad mate or crew member in any of my playthroughs. Hope this helps :)

Thanks dude! I have all Normandy upgrades, and all upgrades that I had available, I have installed.
I forgot that when you get Reaper IFF (also I see what you did there), the part where the crew is taken will be triggered after a few missions. So this morning I got Samara's loyalty (after getting the IFF) and then the crew got taken. Tali and Legion weren't loyal, and I didn't get their upgrades, so that's why they must've died every try. I didn't know you needed special upgrades.

Anyway, I've reloaded my oldest save (pre-activating Legion) and instead of getting Samara loyal, I went and got Tali and Legion loyal. Paragon was high enough to keep them both happy. Nice. Also got both their upgrades.
Miranda still isn't loyal, though. Paragon is almost at the top, but I just can't get the option. Nothing more I can do to get my Paragon level up more, so I'll just have to hope Miranda doesn't die.

Next time I touch the galaxy map, the part where the crew is taken should be triggered, but I should be prepared well enough now. Going to try tomorrow :D
And then it's Overlord, Firewalker (bleh), and Arrival time :)

Anyway, thanks for the help! :)

well, you may be lucky with Miranda but the fact that she isn't loyal might cause problems. If she dies then reload and send her back to the Normandy with the crew members. Maybe she'll survive that way. You might have lost her loyalty by supporting Jack when Jack and Miranda argued somewhat early in the game after Jacks's loyalty mission, I think. Even if Jack is right and it feels right to support her, you just don't want to pick sides in this game or things get even more complicated :lol:

P.S.: oh and I think Tali's upgrade is an upgrade for the Normandy and those are usually essential

I'll try sending her to the Normandy if she decides to be a bitch (again) and dies :)
I did lose her loyalty when Jack and her argued, but like I said, Paragon is almost at the top (I've been hammering the fuck out of it to get it Miranda's loyalty back), but it's still not high enough to open up the option to get her loyal again :| Ah well.

With Tali's upgrade, I take it you mean the upgrade you get through talking to her, which is a Normandy upgrade. I got all of those. I read on the Mass Effect Wiki that you also need to get shield upgrades for certain squad members, among which Tali. You can get those upgrades on their loyalty missions, which for Tali I hadn't done earlier. Luckily I have now, and got the upgrade, so I should be fine now. :)

Thanks for the help man, I appreciate it :D :D
Time to put my savin' the world galaxy boots on :)

It would be nice to have the latest Mortal Kombat released here now that we're getting the R rating for games. I won't hold my breath, though.

it wasn't officially released over here either. That's what importing was invented for! :D

also, playing Mass Effect 3 now and I'm still loving it. Dunno why but I still enjoy it more than Mass Effect 2. Better combat system, overall plenty more customization options, better and more focused story telling (in my opinion anyways), etc. .

Total zombie mode at work today, cause I stayed up all night and fiiiinally finished Deus Ex.
Spoiler: show
Not sure about the ending(s) though...I like ONE ending to games!

Now, Alan Wake.

Yeah, The Last of Us looks very interesting and very promising if you ask me. One of the very few games I'm currently looking forward to.

The Last of Us kind of looks like Uncharted meets I am Legend. Pretty cool stuff.
