Yeah, I could still get behind a story where the shift in locations was a result of an accident/event. Randomizes the people being transported too, so you'll get a decent variety of characters. I always envisioned this type of scenario transporting the ship(s) to a random, unexplored section of the Milky Way, though.
Something like that wouldn't be so bad. 
Anyway, now i want bioware to stop the cryptic tweets and tell us something!

I doubt it is that though. If you're part of the 'Pathfinder Initiative', as seen on the emblem they posted a while ago and mentioned in the leak, then I ought to conclude that it's a planned project.

Maybe it's planned after they have established themselves on Andromeda and need to know what's out there.
On second thought, if it was planned during the trilogy time-line, then I, Commander Shepard, will be royally pissed that no one told me about it.

More important than we realize. If only NASA got more than half a penny from every citizen as funding...
It's by funding science and research that we will advance humanity and secure our future (and I'm not just saying that to sound epic like the Illusive Man ). Whether we like it or not, we are going up there sooner or later.
And based off how our world is currently being consumed and destroyed to extinction, I think they should fast track it to be sooner rather than later...
Apparently, a running theory is that this contingency plan was kept entirely secret from the most prominent person trying to save the galaxy.
To be fair, some people were letting the guy determine the fates of entire galactic species. If I was running a secret operation to save people by shooting them off into dark space the one jerk-off who could mess it up was probably Shep. So I wouldn't tell him.

ROTFL.

don't sound so pessimistic we can still blow ourselves up
One of the joys of level design for me, personally, is working together with others to make something you share a vision of.Building the initial version of a level with simple blocks but with an idea of what it would look like when an artist makes it awesome.And then working with my artist on the first art pass that starts the proper direction for what it'll look like when it's done.I just saw the first pass of one of the spaces in one of my levels that my artist built, and it just makes me so excited to build it.And there'll be more moments like this. When my writer writes a more in-depth pass that truly realizes the feel of the mission/narrative.When the cinematic designer and cinematic animator have their scenes built and working in the mission, and the conversations flow.And then audio comes in and does their final passes and it'll sound and feel like a real space.And then time has passed and the game ships, and people get to see it on their TV at home, and hopefully enjoy the experience.And we get to think back of how this mission we built was once just a little outline in a word document.Now imagine I wrote all of those messages with #space in them.Sometimes I need to remind myself of these things, because those tweets make it sound like that happens in the space of a couple weeks.When reality is, through scheduling, vacations, availability, pipeline improvements, priorities and all that, missions take months to build.
And sometimes you can't see step away from your own work far enough to see what kind of progress is made.That sinking feeling when looking into file discrepancies that shouldn't exist leads to accidentally undoing a bunch of work.
This is what has always been so fascinating to me about the development behind any creative media - there is so much incredible work and effort of people so utterly dedicated going into it, just to create something that would distract you for a few hours. And maybe, just maybe that something could turn into something that you will come to love, perhaps as much as they do. I dont know. Reading these tweets and learning all of this new information brings out all the feels I guess.
Anyways, so excite you guys. SO EXCITE.

Exactly, I mean, just look at the situation from the council/galactic leader's pov:
If my only hope is a magic super weapon, that nobody knows how exactly works, which came from a guy crazy enough to blow up a Batarian system... The first thing I'd do would be starting to look for plans B to D, and fast.

It's also possible they didn't want to insult Shep or undermine the morale of the war effort by revealing that some people were actively preparing for the pay possibility that the Commander might fail and everyone would die.
Shepard still had to be the big great galactic hope, but it makes sense that people didn't want to rely on hope and an untested alien blueprint alone.
Shepard and co. not knowing about this could easily make sense if the project was highly top-secret. Besides an actual Reaper shooting down the Ark ship(s), the biggest threat is surely sabotage from within, i.e. indoctrination. For every outside person you tell about this project, the risk of exposure and subsequent attempts at indoctrination rises. And Shepard? He/she has had more contact with Reapers than anyone else alive. Now, it sure seems like he/she is still trying to stop the Reapers, but how long will that last? Or how sure can you be? What do you practically gain from informing Shepard about it? Not much. On the contrary, you risk everything.
Exactly Shepard is well aware that defeat is a real possibility and knowing that there is a plan B should the crucible fail won't him/her any harm. That being said the idea that there is a super secret project to move to another galaxy and having no one in the entire galaxy (the shadow broker in particular) know about it is very contrived. Given the scale it'd require a lot of resources to pull off and there'd be no way for it remain secret for long and rumors of its existance would eventually spread like the crucible.Untested Prothean blueprint, a species whom this cycle has repeatedly trusted and revered.I think Shepard could handle the offense for a little peace of mind and context of what's going on. This isn't grade school, after all. The knowledge that there's a plan out there like this (diverting attention and consuming resources) to preserve the continuity of civilization in case things go FUBAR would've been more than welcome, if it actually existed.Besides, between EDI, Liara, and Traynor, we would've heard about this going on anyway.

And yet they have no problem telling Shepard updates on the Crucible, what they think is a weapon that can defeat the Reapers? If they didn't trust Shepard not being indoctrinated, they wouldn't tell Shepard about the thing that will kill all the Reapers.

Top-secret, yet you're moving a world of resources around to get it done, and soliciting countless scientists and participants.
How sure can you be of anybody being free of indoctrination? You're going to need a pretty big population size for proper species preservation.
That's not even getting into the logistics of travel to another galaxy, which would require jacking into Reaper tech for the drive cores. During the war. Wanna talk about indoctrination problems?
Yep. If they used Sovereign's core as the power source, all they did was give Sovereign a new body. All the people aboard the ark would be indoctrinated gibbering animals by the time the ship reached Andromeda.
Yeah there is no way this can work without being contrived.Top-secret, yet you're moving a world of resources around to get it done, and soliciting countless scientists and participants.How sure can you be of anybody being free of indoctrination?

Yea verily did Jos' veiled plea for the twitter thread to be about tweets because it's there in the title fall upon ears of cloth, and there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth.
I'm thinking he means Hubble is still around in the ME time frame? And this was captured by it in-game?
I got an answer! But it just confuses me a little...What lies ahead? Adventures? Dangerous foes?I'm thinking he means Hubble is still around in the ME time frame? And this was captured by it in-game?
No, I think it's just an actual pic the Hubble took. The thing is that every time a BioWare dev tweets something, the BSN automatically thinks it's ME:Next related.

I'm pretty sure Hubble never took a picture of a wormhole...
