Before the Reaper invasion to save every sentient species that was about to get wiped out by the Flood of reapers?

Or after the invasion where trillions of people desperately needed Resources to rebuild their lives in the milkyway? rather than sending a few thousand to Andromeda when your indusry and economy is in ruins? What's the Point at that point anyway?

How does a post ending launch get around the dilemma of multiple ME3 ending with noone talking about what happend in the Reaper war? And noone knowing?


Launch Before the invasion where the galactic infrastructure was livign through a golden age of abundance of wealth and Resources, where the council was concerned about the end of all civilisation and every sentient species.

Or after where there is littel reason for a civilisation to send people so far that they will never repay the effort or cost of colonisation, when the journey might take a millenia. All the while industry and the economy and peoples lives are in shatters, and everyone is desperately needing every but of help they can get to put food on their tables and a roof over their heads.

For some reason, your phrasing makes it look like you want to hear your own opinion rather than anyone's thoughts.

I think they left during the reaper invasion. Just after the fall of Thessia. Continuity of Civilization.

 

That would be about one month before the ending. Using reverse engineered reaper hyper-FTL they'd be well out of range of the blast.

In game? About thirty five hours after a certain vocal group started the game? Outside of the game? About five minutes to three years later when, said group, were still on the internet moaning about this, that and the other. Somewhere in that another group thought, "Chuff it, let's go?", and left.

[themikefest]

Who knows when it left? 

 

Maybe it left before the events of ME1. A ship filled with explorers from different species decided to visit another galaxy. They were sponsored by very wealthy individuals. It was a privately funded project. Also a few teams of military security  from different species  volunteered to go as protection for them.

Never because there is no Ark ship. At least that's what I've been telling myself since last year and will continue to tell myself until Bioware gives us solid information

[daveliam]

It hasn't been confirmed that there's an Ark ship, right?  This is all speculation still?

Yes.

And hopefully there was no ark at all. Or at least it was not a council mission, but the work of something else entirely.

Thanks.  That's what I thought, but there have been a few threads that have been speaking of it as if it's been confirmed and I thought I missed out on something. 

[Kabooooom]

They obviously would have left before or during (most likely to me) the invasion. Leaving after the war's end defeats the entire purpose of the ark.

[The Elder King]

Cerberus ?

I'd say with the confirmation of the Andromeda Galaxy plus that A.R.K.C.O.N thing which is almost certainly from MEA people are feeling safe to assume there was an ark ship. Which is not a bad assumption at all, but as I said, it doesn't have to be a council missions (which would make no sense in my eyes and just cheapen the oritinal trilogy).

Seeing as avoiding the endings is undoubtedly the primary reason for shifting the setting to a new galaxy, and the easiest way to avoid the endings is the leaving the Milky Way before the Crucible fires, then regardless of how they get there it most likely happened in the middle of the Reaper War.

Kinda hard to move to another galaxy (which is confirmed) without an ark ship(s) to sustain the people making the trip.

This, I suspect, is probably the most plausible explanation we will be given.  And I don't think it's going to be one ship, rather the Krogans launched their own independent mission, as did humans, and I think the leak mentioned one other species.  Part of the team building might be getting team mates from these disparate groups and forming them into a cohesive team.

the Krogans launched their own independent mission

Don't you find the idea of krogans launching independent colonisation mission to another galaxy a bit strange?

The leak mentioned

Spoiler

a krogan colony ship

I Guess every race have their own colonization project, Though they're all coordinated by a central organization (If the AT is true, I think it'd be stationed there).

I didn't say colonization, I said mission.  Remember, this is Bioware, people like the Krogans so they're going to get to Andromeda somehow.  I think this is more realistic then have them try to be happy, happy with everybody else on an ark.

I just really hope it wasn't Cerberus.......

Hopefully ME3 was the last game with them.

[N7Jamaican]

I'm going with wormhole theory.  Don't think there would have been an ARK during any team of the events of ME1-3.  Cause if that's the case... Why bother saving the milky way galaxy?  Victory through sacrifice right?  Sacrifice the Milky Way so the ARK expedition can survive in Andromeda..

 

Plus I'm sure the big wigs of the galaxy, TIM, Liara/Shadow Broker, higher ups in the Alliance, and various alien organizations -- would have known.

This.

 

I think they'd tie it in with the Asari Councilor's speech, and have the ship leave just after Thessia.

I wouldn't say just after Thessia since you can still talk with the councilor just before attacking Chronos

[JasonShepard]

Long, long after the Reaper War - long enough for the various endings to be acknowledged, but not make the huge difference that ME3's immediate aftermath would have had. And long enough for us to have the technology to launch such an exploration mission.

I think Bioware is going to parallel what happened here on Earth when the Americas were discovered:  English, Dutch and German in North America, France in the Gulf of Mexico, Spain in Central America and Portugal down in South America.  Instead of the Americas we're talking about Andromeda and instead of counties we're talking about species.  I think the 3 mentioned were the Humans, the Krogans and the Salarians.
