So the question is quite simple and I bet you already got the contents.

Since Mass Effect 3 will be the last game concerning Shepard's Trilogy will be there a SDK tool?
This could help improving longevity and givin' players the possibility to express their ability in this awesome universe.

Please Bioware don't let us down.
Cheers,
Shade

[Info]
SDK: Software development kit - A software development kit (SDK or "devkit") is typically a set of development tools that allows for the creation of applications for a certain software package, software framework, hardware platform, computer system, video game console, operating system, or similar platform.
So, related to a game, it allows you to create mod and edit/create new game space (such as world, hubs, etc).

[Update]
Changed the title from "SDK for Mass effect 3" to " SDK and Moddin's Support for Mass Effect 3"

You can go get the UDK right now for free if you want it, from Epic (the company that develops Unreal engine). If Bioware wanted to release all their custom tools, they could do so. They won't though, because they've said modding is not something they ever plan to support with Mass Effect. 

It's mainly that it's a huge amount of work...

The way that a lot of our tools are set up, they aren't portable to something you could easily use at home. A lot of our integrated processes require databases to be hooked up, and a bunch of the tools are hardcoded to use specific internal servers. It's sadly not as simple as just taking what we have and handing it over. We'd probably have to make some rather extensive modifications...

Additionally (and I know some people will say: "Who cares!"), we put up with a fair amount of rough edges from our tools - but for an actual release of a set of modding tools to the community, we'd want to put some work in to make it a somewhat easier experience than it might be right now.

So, given all of that... it's not really something that's very likely. Sorry.
