Rannoch, Earth, and Palvin dang it! I mean I really wanted to see Rannoch the garden world and I get a dessert! Then I really wanted to see Palvin as Garrus described it nope you get to see it bombed from orbit see there gamer? We made a smiley for you out of craters! And I wanted to explore Earth which when I said that BW I meant sandbox not linear.

Rannoch isnt a gardenworld but a walled garden. Arid deserts with a few oasises and walled gardens/cities where the Quarians cultivated the lands.

While Legion said the Geth maintained the ecosystem they might not have maintained it all. Meaning the desert may have claimed some of that farmland.
Like the Gobi desert is eating up Chinese farmland.

If their homeworld had been a lush djungleworld then their immunesystem would have been forced to evolve differently. Overpopulated highly competitive biosystems tend to evolve in a more agressive manner with chemical and biological warfare to compete.

The codex makes it clear that they didn't sit on their asses waiting for the Quarians.

Codex Entry:
"[...]Although Rannoch is now largely uninhabited, the geth have acted as caretakers, working to repair the planet's ecology, restore ancient structures, and cultivate some farmland[...]"

I have another question for you guys:If you could get only one major hub planet in the next ME which one would you choose?

Only one?

It would probably mean we'd be getting the Citadel again, as it is the capital for most of the series' factions. Personally I'd rather see other hubs however, just because we've now had the Citadel as a hub in three games. It is a big galaxy and I'm interested in seeing more of it.  So I'm going to cheat a bit and pretend we are getting two hubs instead of one.

For the second hub I'd probably go with either Serrice or Armali. Given that Thessia is the most economically significant planet in Citadel space and is described as the 'the beating heart of galactic love,' it sounds as is if it is the Mass Effect equivalent of London, New York, and Paris wrapped into one. It would make a lot of sense to have one of its cities, probably Armali or Serrice, as the second hub. As a bonus, given Thessia's economic importance, tourism value, and the Asari tendency to partner with other species, there would be an in-lore reason for a lot of the NPCs populating the city to be non-Asari.

A city on Khaje could also be very cool, if for the beauty of the setting alone.

For now,yes.I'm trying to piece something together and I'd like as many opinions as possible.

"Miscellaneous" HW's we may or may not have visited already:

Prothean HW
Leviathan HW

prothean HW was destroyed in an artificial supernova , along with that entire system

No,that was the Zha homeworld not the Prothean (proper) HW.

the zha'til entirely by sending the star of the zha's home system into

Notice the "some" part, cultivate seme farmland.. 
They didn't care for the whole planet just some areas that became memorials and something akin to Geth national parks.
Kind of like preserving their history and where they came from.

It's also possible that the Geth terraforming experiments we see on otherplanets could be a result of them feeling bad about how badly Ranochs environment was faring so they were researching alernate methods for terraforming and restoring a planet and cultural herritage they feelt they had neglected.
It did seem like a sore spot for Legion in ME2.

The Geth are software.They don't build monuments in the "physical" world,they build them within the consensus.Also,maintaining a complex planetary eco system would be absurd if done only for nostalgia's sake because the geth don't need any of that to function and it would drain resources pointlessly.The codex entry and ingame dialog make it pretty clear that the Geth maintained Rannoch and the other quarian planets  for their creators because their goal was coexistence.

From the wiki...
"According to Legion,geth do not actually live on any of the quarian planets they conquered, serving merely as caretakers for them instead. They find it more efficient to live on space stations and draw resources
from asteroids, though they maintain mobile platforms on the worlds to clear rubble and toxins left by the Morning War.Legion likens this behavior to the human tendency to establish cemeteries and memorials to commemorate dead persons and tragic events. However, since geth do not "die" in any traditional sense (upon the destruction of a geth platform, its programs are simply transmitted to the nearest available platform) and so have no real losses to mourn fromthe Morning War, Legion posits that they instead clean and maintain the quarian worlds out of respect for their quarian creators who died in the conflict and in preparation for the eventuality of their return."

In regards to the "not taking care of the whole planet" statment,they might not have taken care of every square inch of every quarian planet but I'd wager they managed to maintain Rannoch almost entirely.I think that fact becomes evident when the uplifted Geth Prime asks Admiral Raan if she considered any potential settlement sites.If the choice was limited the Geth would have undoubtedly pointed that out from the get go.

It's also possible that the Geth terraforming experiments we see on otherplanets could be a result of them feeling bad about how badly Ranochs environment was faring so they were researching alernate methods for terraforming and restoring a planet and cultural herritage they feelt they had neglected.

I actually think the Geth had nothing to do with the placing of those terraforming machines outside of Quarian planets (at least not all of them).IMO it's more likely Sovereign saw the potential of turning them into improvised WMDs to aid the Reaper.agenda and made the heretics relocate them for testing.

Kahje is my most wanted homeworld (because you could combine Drell and Hanar there right?)

I really liked Manaan from KOTOR and I imagined Kahje to look similar albeit have the clean cities underwater...like an underwater aquarium where you could see all the life outside of the glass walls. Hanar and Drell are cool and it seems like a very peaceful place to live...maybe too peaceful if you catch my drift

[SwobyJ]

All of them? Because IMO we never even properly saw them in the first place.

Though leading planets for me would be Asari/Salarian/Turian planets, and Kahje, and Irune. Khar'Shan would be neat because I don't want the Batarians abandoned, but instead show themselves as quite capable and badass now that the Hedgemony isn't a major presence.
