Makes more sense than leaving before or during the war, considering at those times the trip is impossible.


@Hanako Ikezawa
It's not impossible, you just need to build a new type of ship with radiation heatsinks to avoid the crew from cooking, you could even disconnect the crew module while the core discharges in interstellar space. Newton would have known how to build that centuries ago. so they can deffinately do it in the future as logn as they got the tiem and Resources to build ships, if they started building right after EM1 then they could deffinately do it.

It's simple physics, nothing magical, energy radiates, that's how stars work and all material warmer than absolute zero radiates energy.

The commonly used ships can't do it sicne they were designed for shortrange travel between celestial bodies.

We don't have that level of tech in the events of the Shepard Trilogy. 

you could even disconnect the crew module while the core discharges in interstellar space.

While that could work, you'll still have to deal with all the other problems involving the core discharge, like finding a place to do it in the perfect spot in intergalactic space 101,520 times. 

Newton would have known how to build that centuries ago.

What?

No, they can't. They have to organize the funds, draw the schematics, invent technology that breaks the laws of physics as they understand them, test said new technology, build the ships, and gather all the resources and personnel they are taking. And do all of this in a way that nobody finds out, which means stretching the project out to hide the trail and preventing any leaks(something they couldn't even do with the uber top secret Crucible, which people knew about within a few months) so that nobody else knows that the project happened hence why it isn't mentioned in the previous games. That is impossible to do in that timeframe.

It's simple physics, nothing magical, energy radiates, that's how stars work and all material warmer than absolute zero radiates energy.

There's nothing simple about this project. That's the problem. The level of technology and understanding of the universe our cycle has is not capable of this trip in the time frame allotted.  

The commonly used ships can't do it sicne they were designed for shortrange travel between celestial bodies.

No ship in our cycle can do it. 

 

But this thread is about James Vega. There are other threads where thinking Ark Theory works even though it can't without retconning the franchise or a DEM can be discussed.

I have a feeling that it's actually Sheperd. He's choosing our initial base in Andromeda before the 'Ark' is sent on its way and before he leaves for the showdown with TIM and the Reapers. OF course that's assuming that the Ark is the contingency the Asari councillor talks of to make the timing right.

James Vega is much larger in body mass that the character we've seen.  Doubt Vega will be in ME:A... And Vega is a boring stereotypical military grunt.

True. Nicely said. +1

If it is Vega, he's looking quite spritely for someone who's probably 300+ years old!

Yes. Its James Vega and the female will be Jamie Vega. Hahaha

 

James can be dead in ME3. He can die on the beam run and if ems is low enough will die on the Normandy since the door doesn't open believing everyone on the ship is dead. 

 

It be very hard to explain him being in the next game if the ark/ship/whatever left before the Crucible fires

He can die. Now it's near impossible with the extended cut since it's easy to get the good ending but it can happen.

The dead guy is dead, let him rest in peace.

 

Seriously, Vega? Could have enjoyed ME3 without missing him at all.

I'd take Vega over roughly half of the squadmate options throughout the entire trilogy, perhaps more.  Immensely underrated addition to the MEU.

I thought ARK was a launch done pre-final battle as a fallback plan in case the crucible didn't win, basically our version of what Javik's people did -- get a few survivors out of the hands of the reapers.

While I don't think it is Vega and have a hard time imagining Vega would make it to the game, I do have one word in response to the "he can die" argument.

 

Leliana.

Yeah, but that's in the world of Thedas where magical, unexplained resurrection is a thin---

 

Oh.  Nevermind.

I agree with 3 out of 4 of those names, but cannot endorse Sumalee.  I've only played 2 games where she voiced a major character, well an option for a major character anyway, those games being Saints Row: The Third and Dragon Age: Inquisition.  Admittedly I'm biased, not necessarily against her, but (heavily) in favor of her competition: Laura Bailey in SR:TT and Alix Wilton Regan in DA:I.  

 

I'll put it this way: I'm as entranced with their voices as Traynor is with EDI's. 

 

She was also in Mass Effect 3 as Nyreen from Omega, if it matters.

 

I have no problem with her, plus I think she can do a good job.

I'd like to add, what if the main pro is Jim Vega's father's, brother's, nephew's, cousin's, former roommate?

C'mon, I don't see how people can hate Vega.

I don't hate him. I would've preferred having an ME2 squadmate instead

That is the price of the suicice mission. Too many potentially dead squaddies.

The same for Garrus and Tali, but they were on the squad

Why not? They invented Lazarus after all. And if they did, he's become one of their insane experiments, which means he'll eventually get loose and kill all their guys. You know the drill. So Kai Leng may very well be our N7 squad mate in ME:A. ;)
 

I was just about to post this.


Ah, that was my first thought as well but now I am going with Kei Leng as he is even more obnoxious.

I'll make it short since you apparently know very Little about physics. Yes, it can be done, it's current tech, we can use heatsinks that radiate the heat and surplus energy into the vacuum of space, you don't need any special or perfect spots in space to accomplish a cool down.

If the crew is in stasis then it doesn't matter how many stops your Autopilot does or how many hundred or thousand years the journey takes.

Stefan-Boltzmann Law
The thermal energy radiated by a blackbody radiator per second per unit area is proportional to the fourth power of the absolute temperature

You can use space heatsinks that radiates the energy.

In short, They have to organize the funds, draw the schematics. Which is a far easier Project than the Crusible in ME3, and far less space magicy since the tech exists today.

Heat and even electrical charges turn into radiation Waves that leves a hotbody and cools it down. Sicne it isn't new science it won't requier anythign too fancy. Having a detachable crew pod is nothign new, the moonlanders detached the landing module, in this case you would only need to detach it temporarily at Close range possibly with one shieldedmirror 0.00001mm thick if you want to stop pretty much all heat from possibly transfering(doubt anythign like that would be needed but it could help)..


Proper heatsink design would speed up the vacuum discharge, and disconnecting the habitation module from the drivecore module would make excessive heatbuildup a lot more manageble during discharge.

How hard do you seriously think that would be? You don't need any new tech, you don't need anythign that breaks science as they know it, you just need a few engineers and perhaps a few scientists to hammer otu a new ship design using known science nad Technologies. Then allocate the Resources to build it.
After Sovereigns attack on the Citadel in ME1 they would have been expected to get down to work on it. The Coulncil knew abotu the reapers. They didn't doubt it, but they wanted to avoid panic and did what they could to do what they thought was best for the preservation of civilisation. In ME1, they edknoledge it, and the Citadel DLC shows that Spectres and up were allowed to know about the Reapers. Meaning Spectres, Councilors or anyone working on a Project regarding the Reapers or an Ark Project.

The tech needed wasn't unknown, but it wasn't worthwhile or practical if you got relays and planets on which to discharge faster than you could in space.

As for build time, the Crusible was built in far less tiem while the galaxy was getting torn to bit's and pieces by the Reapers, compared to a golden age of economic sucesses and progress across Council space in between Me1-Me3.

@shodiswe: I wasn't insulting or condescending towards you, so it would be nice for you to return the courtesy. I would reply, since I love talking about this stuff since despite what you think I know a lot about physics, but 1) this is offtopic, and 2) I don't reply to people when they're jerks. Good day to you.
