So, we are told that at the end of each harvest stands the creation of a new reaper. Meaning that if during the harvest even one ship gets destroyed the amount of Reapers stays the same. Multiple Reaper ships were destroyed during the last cycle.
Yes, the final cycle had the advantage of coming together as one but I find it hard to believe that in all these millions of years only a handful cycles, at best, had the ability to destroy one or multiple Reaper ships.

Or am I thinking wrong?
