Notice the structural similarities between the Collector ships, the Citadel and the ship from the N7 2015 teaser trailer.

No.

[in it for the lolz]

Err...no. Also,

No.

[Hanako Ikezawa]

There certainly are some similarities. 

[wright1978]

Yep the black ark theory is certainly one interesting idea to piggyback technology and achieve an ark in the limited timeframe between end of  M1 and end of ME3.

I definitely wouldn't have any issues if something similar formed the basis of the ark.

[Valdez_ua]

Not this again. If you look at falcon rocket and a penis you will find a lot of structural similarities too.

I read that as "In support of the Black Art theory" and I was wondering where the idea that Mass Effect Andromeda was going to have black magic came from.

 

I really need to read slower.

Frankly it looks like a retrofitted Citadel than anything else. Also if you judge by the concept art pictures released(I know quite a lot doesn't even make it into the game but at least is shows they were thinking) there is some kind of large round structure obviously some kind of space station that kinda looks like Citadel from inside.

This. Confirmation bias lets you see whatever you want, and correlation doesn't equal causation.

The Black Ark theory addresses a lore concern - the most logical reason why the story takes place in Andromeda in universe is that the people there fled the Milky Way to escape the Reapers, which (surprise, surprise), correlates with the very logical out-universe likely reason for the change in setting - that they are avoiding ME3s endings like the plague. Which, to beat a dead horse, allowed us to predict the move to Andromeda a year before the official announcement. It's pretty obvious why they did it.

And so, this raises a serious question: If the purported ark leaves during the Reaper War, where did the tech come from and how did they have time to build it? The black ark theory is interesting...but honestly I don't see that many similarities.

Personally, I suspect the ark will be found, ready-made, conveniently constructed by the Remnant as a means for the species of the Milky Way to escape the Reapers. I suspect this is why they think the Remnant are benevolent, and what sets them on a track of searching for more ruins or tech of the Remnant once they get to Andromeda. Cue the story climax and the plot twist that it was all some sort of nefarious alien trap. Dun dun dun. It's a plot so predictable that I wouldn't be surprised if Bioware chose it...just like the move to Andromeda was predictable.

Yeah. It's an interesting and intriguing idea that sounds like it could be fun.

I wouldn't either. It's pretty much the only version of Ark Theory I like.

So the Remnant are Reapers 2.0, leaving behind what we see as a gift only for it to be a trap? Great.

Pretty much. Didnt say I thought it was a good plot, lol. I said I think it is so predictable and such an easy way out that I think Bioware will be very tempted to choose it.

Just like the move to Andromeda was predictable and an easy way out. And back in the day I made posts saying I thought Bioware would be very tempted to choose it.

People are predictable. For better or worse.

I love the job you've done with this. You clearly put a lot of effort into make no effort at all and I admire that.

They may have taken a bit of design inspiration from the Black Arks in additional the obvious inspiration they took from the Citadel, but there's nothing that would indicate the Ark from the N7 Day teaser was derived from a Black Ark. The asymmetrical, rocky pillars on the Black Arks are asymmetrical rock pillars. The Ark we see is very clearly not in line with that at all.

I laughed at this more than I should have. Sig worthy Zip!

You should start this as its own topic, this is a pretty interesting theory i must say lol

[Reguire]

I honestly don't like any kinda theories so I don't give them much thought. In the end they always disappoint.

 

If the theory is not canon, it will disappoint because it wasn't canon. Unless you like the actual canon more than the theory.

I agree with the first part, but this is kind of a stretch. Reasons are purely meta, but it looks advanced but without 'ancient alien' vibe. Besides it's interface looks pretty much human, I probably even see letter 'F' on the screen.

 

And they were running from something in Andromeda?

Well, think about it. It explains how we, a supposedly technologically primitive cycle were able to defeat the reapers. And it explains all this Humans Are Special crap that's been in the series.

 

I was just thinking that if they did some intergalactic exploration and got stranded. Cro-magnon Man appeared about 150,000 years ago. Finding an ark ship in orbit around a star or planet somewhere is still like finding a needle in a haystack, or rather like finding a particular piece of hay in a haystack. Still it could be done.

 

Yet now you bring up something else. Could be done.
