Thoughts of New Normandy in ME3

Keep the Normandy, but make changes after the heavy damage which it took on the suicide run.
The relation to Cerberus has still not been clarified, so I don´t know about exterior redesign. It was strange enough that a frigate with Cerberus logo could land unmolested on the Citadel... I would have preferred to arrive there with the shuttle.

They should IMO keep the same ship but do some "upgrades" - interior changes and maybe opening some parts we did not get to see earlier to make it feel familiar yet different enough.

Aye, strip out any Cerberus surveillance crap. Though I see no reason why we would receive another Normandy, I would like a new ship - we're fighting the Reapers and we're going to need bigger guns; I want to command a dreadnought.
I have a feeling any conventional dreadnought would get smoked by a single Reaper. They are massive, slow, and their main mass accelerators run the length of the hull which means each ship has to be pointed directly at its target, which is usually only another slow-moving conventional dreadnought, or a planet.
Best stick with the Normandy SR-2. At least it has a chance of evading notice, if nothing else.

Great model!kain2master wrote...
I hope they'll could adapt/upgrade the Normandy to dock with a larger vessel and use the Normandy as a form of a Command Deck. The elevator could then be used to head inside the larger vessel. And if the player needs to do a recon mission the Normandy just needs to undock and the XO of the Dreadnought will just use the secondary Command Deck.

What needs to happen is to release EDI, and let Legion also into the ship's inner core and hook him up.. We would be so unstoppable...
If so, I bet Joker will be way too jealous on Legion.
Either ways, Joker will make sure no one get close to EDI. lol

EDI is a free AI now, so "she" could counter any hacking attempt by Cerberus and with Legion's help the ship is hackproof. But if someone inside were a Cerberus spy giving the improved Normandy tech specs to TIM, then Normandy SR-3 could be a Cerberus ship that you would have to fight against at some point. Seeing two Normandies fight each other ship to ship would be awesome.Shirosaki17 wrote...
TIM is probably going to turn on you at the beginning of ME3, so we'll probably get a new ship somehow. He probably has the ability to self-destruct the ship if he wants to or reclaim it if he wants.

I like the re-painting idea, but like in your own designs. Maybe a spectre logo or N7...I like customization

TIM and Cerberus would never let Shep fly away with the galaxys most advanced warship without some kind of failsafe that not even Miranda and EDI would be aware of. He would have thought of the chance that EDI might get loose.
I do like the idea of two Normandys going toe to toe (cockpit to cockpit?) though.

The only issue here is that it would mean they could no-longer do super high-detail pre-rendered Normandy cinematics like they could with ME1 and ME2. If you had only two options to choose from (e.g. Cerberus Standard ala ME2 or a more ME1 style Alliance scheme) then they'd simply need to only do two different versions of each pre-rendered Normandy cutscene. Give the player too many options and you end up with either lower quality cinematics for the Normandy shots because they have to do it in-engine, or BioWare have too many variations to do, which I'd doubt they'd want. Two would be reasonable... maybe three. Any more than that, not so much.

A Renegade paint scheme, a Paragon paint scheme fr starters and DLC provided paint schemes later so that the rendering quality of the ship isn't compromised.Terror_K wrote...

It would be a bit stupid to get new Normandy again,but it would be boring to have Normandy SR-2.It would be great that Liara as a Shadow Broker helps you completely redesign SR-2.But I agree that you should have only two options so we keep high quality cinematics.Terror_K wrote...

I have hard time calling ME2 cinematics "super high-detail" and I like the ME1 in-game cinematics better, but I guess its necessary evil here and there (and it would get even worse with many variants).Terror_K wrote...

That said I dont see much reason including the "pimp my Normandy" option. Really, whats the point?

Well... they technically are "super high-detail" really, it's just that the quality of the video in the pre-rendered scenes is really poor (which I can understand to a degree with the 360 version, but I see no reason the PC one needed such low-res, low quality pre-renders). Hopefully they'll have them of a higher quality in ME3, because it really was noticable. Even some of the ME1 ones were pre-renders, but the overall quality was higher so it was harder to tell.

No point really, I think that's taking it a bit far and there's far more than needs more crucial attention than things like that that are essentially fluff. But as somebody whose primary Shepard is very anti-Ceberus, I'd like to be able to get rid of the ugly Cerberus paint-job and decals. The SR1 was just a better looking ship, so I'd prefer to be able to at least make the SR2 look more like it overall palette-wise. I'd be happy if the ship was automatically altered in that sense, but I also understand there'll be those who'd prefer it the same and wish to keep their Cerberus leanings, and they have the right to that as much as I (and the others) who don't want that do, hence the idea of two options being available.

Plus open up new areas like some have said, ie. allow us to go to the cargo area as we wish. And have some upgrades/items available for purchace like Mako and other vehicles, some games like Quasar and some sort of training room with combat, tech and biotic activities

The SR-2 is top of the line and brand new, so the only thing she really needs is a new paintjob and new uniforms for the crew.
All the Cerberus logos have to go from the interior as well, I hate being reminded about who built the new Normandy all the time

The video quality is poor and no, I cant understand it even on Xbox 360. There is enough unused space on the discs for much higher quality videos.Terror_K wrote...

I dont think there were many pre-rendered scenes in ME1.
Let the ME3 ship be unmarked.Terror_K wrote...

Well, they could get rid of the pre-rendered part anyway. It's not as if we're asking for flowing hair and non-clipping capes. Modern computers can pull of quite a bit on something simple, like ship-battles. Effectively, they could use customized ships already. The could even make a combination, of rt rendered ships with pre-rendered backgrounds and explosions.Terror_K wrote...
