very small number found onthe mass effect teaser website, year maybe?

Yeah, somehow I doubt it's set 134 billion years into the future.

[MegaIllusiveMan]

Oh God, no.

 

This could be a Planet Code, no? Like the ones seen in ME Galaxy Map?

 

The game is set in another Galaxy, Ok, no problem there.

 

But this many years in the future? Hell, no. Why not just a few Hundred of years or so? it won't even matter much (IMO) since it's in another setting than the one from the ME Trilogy.

Don't fool yourselves...it's the real release date of the game

Well, it COULD be the year.

 

Maybe they figured out how long Andromeda Galaxy has been around.

 

Game's set about 2200-ish good ol' years, but 134 billion years after the supposed inception of the Andromeda Galaxy. They lost contact with the Milky Way completely for whatever reason, and until new "Year 0" happens, they just stick with the fact it's Year 134 billion whatever?

 

I admit, though, planet code, coordinates, or whatever appear more likely.

I mean, I understand they moved to Andromeda to escape ME3 endings but do we also have to skip 134 billion years into future?

Urhm what? The entire universe itself is just 13 billion years old

It'd take maybe 500 years to travel from the Milky Way to Andromeda if they're using ships with Reaper FTL drives, over a million using sublight drives. It's more likely they'll pull out a McGuffin in the form of a wormhole or super relay and it'll be a few decades after ME3 at most.

Errrr....for your info, by that time technically the Andromeda galaxy will be too busy crashing itself into our own little Milky Way as to pacifically explore it.

[BiO]

The Andromeda galaxy is in a collision course with the Milky way, which will happen in 2 billion years...

They could just have them go into cryosleep for the journey. Cryosleep in fact is already a thing in the ME: Universe. The Protheans used it, and cryo sleep pods are seen aboard the Normandy, though never used.

Well... I never said I wasn't too busy pulling things out of my hindquarters to check my facts. So, yup. My bad.

 

I blame all the fresh hype!

Aren't they just sleeping pods, not cryosleep? 

 

It's definitely possible, but I have to think 500 years at FTL would build up enough static to fry the ship, and I can't imagine them doing a million+ year timeskip. What'd even be the point of the expedition then?

[camphor]

people are taking this much more seriously then i intended....

 

edit: i guess it proves the point that we will always find meaning in nothing its a barley visible number on a teaser page and will probobly never be mentioned again, I was making a joke about nitpicking things i obviously failed

HALF-LIFE 3 CONFIRMED

[Zazzerka]

Andromeda is perpetually stuck 134 billion years in the gay future. That's not how time and/or numeracy works? Then Andromeda has already got to you.

[EmperorSahlertz]

It isn't even the "Andromeda and Milky Way Galaxy" anymore in that many years... The Milky Way and the Andromeda galaxy are set to collide in about 4 billion years, so the two galaxies would've merged into one single super galaxy at that time. Oh, and humans and all the other known races of Mass Effect would've been long gone, but for different reasons...

I believe they were intended to be cryosleep pods, as the Normandy does have beds in the captain and crew quarters. Even if not though, there should still be ability to put people into cryosleep thanks to Eden Prime and Ilos. We know the Protheans used that technology on both of those planets.

 

If an ark was sent to Andromeda without the use of a relay or wormhole, I think there would need to be something in the ship's backstory explaining how it was able to make the journey without refueling or drive discharge. Those are really the only obstacles preventing the species of Council and Terminus space from making a journey to Andromeda, at least as far as we know as of ME3. 

 

It might require them reverse engineering something that the Collectors or Reapers had. The Reapers at least were able to travel between the stars without having to refuel or discharge their drives. If they can also match the Reapers' speed, they can also get to Andromeda in 200+ years rather than 500.

It could be experimental tech. it is probably gonna be experimental tech.

[omgodzilla]

6 million years ago, our ancestors were chimp like apes. 60 million years ago, they were tiny rodent like creatures. 500 million years ago, they were still living in the ocean. 3 billion years ago, they were just tiny bacterial cells. All of that evolution took place just on Earth. Now imagine, the insanity that would occur if our descendants were separated from us by 134 billion years. Earth and the sun would be long gone by then. You're talking about having populations separated on the scale of many light years. Just thinking about it makes my head explode.
