I would rather it be 10 years than 100+ years because that way it will still feel like Mass Effect. If it takes place centuries in the future then the technology would be so different (just look at how our tech has changed in the past 100 years). If MEA takes place hundreds of years in the future then it would have to make the original Mass Effect trilogy tech look primitive (which is hard because it's already so futuristic).
Of course, this could be explained with time displacement.
I still think there won't be an ark launched before or during ME3.
Premise will be something like this:
[insert random number between 10 and 100] years after the Reaper war, Earth and the colonies are still devastated. Human scientists discover an ancient jumpgate/wormhole/stargate that leads to the Andromeda galaxy. An exploration mission to the new galaxy is launch to find a new home for humanity. Earth 2.
I don't get why we would have to go that far just to find a new home, however. Reapers don't lay waste to every planet in the galaxy. They only touched down/devastated planets with sufficiently advanced civilizations. All we would need is to find a habitable planet that had no advanced civs. One would think there would be multitudes of such planets in Milky Way.

Who said they aren't?
I think the trick with the Pathfinder Initiative is that it is wide-reaching throughout the galaxy. So the Milky Way is probably being repopulated and colonized while the Andromeda mission goes forward.

Yeah. I see no reason why our cycle wouldn't want to expand to other galaxies while also continuing in our own. After all, we're wanting to settle other planets while we are still settling this one.
Mass Relays only work in pairs. So there would have to be a Mass Relay in Andromeda for us to use a Mass Relay to get there.
That's a valid point, but as I said in my previous post, this technology could be replicated or altered to better suit our objectives. Also, I don't assume it's impossible to simply shoot off from one mass relay without another. I just think it's very dangerous, as you could slingshot into anything.
