That is what the trailer implies, but it is likely the ark sets out some point late in ME3's story so there is a story justification for having all of the familiar species aboard. If it sets out early, Quarians shouldn't be aboard for example.

 

By the point it sets out the war would likely have been raging for several months, so assuming the protagonist is military I would think he or she would have been involved in combat with the Reapers / Cerberus prior to ending up on the Ark.

 

I'd like a special unit member or something, maybe a experimental tech deployment, maybe the people that figured out intergalactic travel or something I mean, I would expect military, but perhaps not combat orientated. I'd find that interesting, I mean the Jotunheim in Gundam is a experimental support cruiser tasked with testing out prototype weapons in the field. They see combat regularly but their primary task is observing whether or not certain lines of weapon tech see mass production or no.

 

To that end they are provided with resources, personal, etc.

 

Something similar in ME could be cool.

[Han Shot First]

There was a unit similar to the one you describe among the ME3 war assets:

 

Alliance Naval Exploration Flotilla 

IIn peace time, the Alliance's Naval Exploration Flotilla is used as a survey force to chart out new systems. The NEF came under fire in 2185, when several dozen service people were charged with withholding information on rich mining deposits in order to sell the locations to the exploration firm, Baria Frontiers. The Alliance attempted to hide the controversy to little avail, as more and more officers were indicted. Eager to bury its shady history, the NEF has dedicated its entire flotilla and material resources to constructing the Crucible.

The trailer implies the ark leaves during the Reaper War, but it is likely the ark sets out some point late in ME3's story so there is a story justification for having all of the familiar species aboard. If it sets out early, Quarians shouldn't be aboard for example.

It shows Earth in good condition as the ship leaves and not on fire like is seen in ME3. Going by that, I would say it leaves before ME3 happens

Yeah that sounds like something in the vein of what I was talking about, the Jotenheim is is akin to a black project, they test out experimental weapons platforms, mobile suits, etc. Anything from  30cm Tanks that can transform into mobile armors, to prototype concept designs of mobile suits designed as interceptor platforms, that have engines are so powerful that they can literally shake the suit apart if handled inappropriately, to weapons platforms like mass drivers, beam cannons, etc. The unit served throughout the entire one year war but it was devastated in the final months of the conflict when the majority of its pilots were killed fighting the Federation allowing its escaping ships it to survive the final battle of the war at A Baoa Qu, including its commander. Colonel Herbert von Kuspen.

 

I mean their niche was that despite being test pilots, engineers and alike they were still soldiers, still people who believed in the cause, and despite their unit being the sufferer of scorn both from the enemy and friendly forces they ultimately allow a lot of their allies to escape that final battle through giving up their own lives, and that isn't mentioning all of the test pilots and personal they lost to even get to that point, all of the prototypes they tested throughout the series ultimately killed the people who operated them.

 

Spoiler

 

o.o Of course you have the whole...aspect of just who they work for presented in the series, I mean these are folks who work for Zeon back in its golden age. That said the unit story overall to me is inspiring, holding your ground and defending fleeing ships, allowing those vessels to escape the battle after it has been lost. And most of them ultimately die defending their position allowing ships to evacuate, I mean it speaks volumes that the commander of the division(not the ship itself, but the captain's boss) himself was out in the field with his men for that particular mission.

 

Its funny though that both of these units that sound similar to each other are surrounded by controversy.

Or after ME3 happens and Earth is repaired like we see in the EC slides.

The Reapers do surprisingly little damage to the planet considering they were apparently ripping apart countries to destroy bunker complexes, major cities, and etc.

[Lucca_de_Neon]

Maybe it has something to do with your first steps in the Ark!

I'm going with Janitor, instead of Cook and Babysitter

[themikefest]

That could be many years after the ending. That would also mean my low-ems, below 1750, destroy ending has been ignored. No big deal.

[Lucca_de_Neon]

That would probably mean you lost and period. Like when Shep dies in the collector base

No, it doesn't. In the EC low EMS Destroy, we see that some of the people on the ground survive and quite a bit of the buildings are still standing. And that was in London, the city closest to the epicenter of the blast. Other parts of Earth could have been hit less extremely. So even with low EMS Destroy a few centuries could see Earth restored easily.

What buildings are you talking about? As far as people surviving, it only shows the one guy picking up the helmet. You know with ems that low Earth is scorched right?

[ZipZap2000]

I want to choose from the following options.

Gavorn: hunter of Vorcha.

Krill: leader of Blood Pack.

Bray: Lapdog to Aria.

Urz: King of Varren

Grunt: Pure Krogan.

[themikefest]

Lost? No. I destroyed the reapers. I win.

After the Crucible wave goes by, you see a city skyline. 

[themikefest]

If you look in the distance of the scene with the survivor, you see a city skyline. 

You mean the few badly damaged buildings behind the guy? Those will likely be torn down and rebuilt

[Hanako Ikezawa]

I meant after the Crucible wave goes by. From 2:10-2:19 of that video.

The point is that Earth wasn't glassed or anything, so a couple hundred years later can see the cities rebuilt and nature thriving.

Those buildings will most likely be torn down and rebuilt.

 

As far as Earth being rebuilt in two hundred years, That's possible. It depends on how  fast manufacturing plants can be built and running to make the parts to rebuild the cities.

 

What about high ems? The ark could leave 10 or twenty years after the war. Also it would mean the player would know what ending was chosen.

 

For now, until BioWare says different, I will say the ship leaves before the events of ME3

[AlleyD]

For me, the best fit background for "Ryder" is that they were employed by Eldfell Ashland Energy.  Their lore description below suggests that they had been the driving force behind human expansion since the start and have developed the basic expertise required in building, recruiting and logistics to support some worlds with significant populations and they were exploiting space from before the Alliance existed.

 

"In 2137, the Ashland Energy Corporation successfully extracted helium-3 from Saturn's atmosphere, beginning a new era of fusion research. On the wave of this success, they merged with Eldfell Construction to vertically integrate the two companies' strengths. Ashland would recover the raw materials for energy production, and Eldfell would build power plants, refineries, and pipelines on nearby worlds to distribute Ashland's products to the consumer. Eldfell-Ashland Energy was born.

 

As EAE's reach extended, they absorbed companies to create a "cradle-to-grave corporate experience" for their employees. Today, subsidiaries such as Second Star Living recruit colonists to staff EAE facilities, and the education group Excelsior provides job-related education opportunities to provide EAE stations with a qualified incoming workforce. Water, power, food, shipping -- EAE provides them all. If EAE wants to put a colony on a garden world, they are able to do so and keep 90% of services performed completely in-house, creating consumers out of its own employees. Its primary revenue stream, however, continues to come from mining base elements like hydrogen, helium-3, and eezo and trading in their futures."

Even if the ship could leave earlier in the high EMS endings, I could see Bioware sticking with a universal couple to few centuries later to help space the new games from the choices taken in the trilogy. 

 

I'm not saying you can't say or think that. All I was saying was it could take place afterwords as well, with the Earth we see being one that was rebuilt. 

[Lucca_de_Neon]

Lost? No. I destroyed the reapers. I win.

Were the reapers truly alive? no. Therefore, the only one that lost something, is you xD. There's no such thing as a glorious death in my book.

However, the exodus is inevitable so we're back in square one

[Sifr]

Perhaps Ryder could have been Admiral Hackett's protege, much like Shepard was to Anderson, hence the reason we were the one entrusted with carrying out the mission to continue civilisation should the Crucible project fail.

 

Cause let's all admit it, it'd be pretty sweet to have Lance Henriksen back even if just for a small farewell scene or voice-over cameo. Wouldn't say no to having Keith David show up as Anderson either, since MEA starting in the middle of ME3 actually does make the most logical sense to keep Shepard's ultimate decision and the fate of the galaxy ambiguous.

If ME:A starts at that moment, i would love to see Hackett again! That was an awesome character, imo (it also helps that he's my only argentine brother in ME *cough cough)
