I know exactly how I feel about it:
 
I've already played Xenoblade Chronicles X, so I'd rather not play it with a moonbuggy in place of a mech. Give us something that hasn't been done already over the past couple of years.


You're going to run into that problem with pretty much any direction they go.

No, because they would then have the opportunity to be more selective and subtle in acquiring materials and personnel, instead of just grabbing every scrap they could find. Those working on it would be sequestered. Those slated to go need not know about the program until it's almost done.

That's easier said than done, the logistical/manpower requirements to build these massive ark ships would just as big if not bigger than the crucible. With so many people on the project it'll be easy groups such as Cerberus and the shadow broker to infiltrate the project.

Shadow Broker probably knew.

Shadow Broker don't gotta tell nobody, though.

Hell, Shadow Broker might've helped keep a lid on it.

The shadow broker is only loyal to himself not the project its naive to think otherwise. If there is something to gain from spilling the beans about its existence he'd do so without a second thought.

Let me rephrase.

 

Give me something that isn't a blatant ripoff of the other big space RPG that recently released. There. That's a little more specific.

If there's more to gain from not spilling the beans, s/he'd also do that.

Meh. ME1 was a Battlestar Galactica and Babylon 5 ripoff. And this certainly wouldn't be the first last-ditch ark narrative in science-fiction. Originality is in short supply with this franchise.

I honestly wouldn't care if they outright ignored some of the endings of ME3.

Well, now you're just making things up. We don't know how big these things are beyond "probably bigger than a dreadnaught", anything more specific is purely speculative. There's no basis to suggest that the requirements to build such things would be bigger than the Crucible. As I said, the workers would be sequestered, unable to interact with the outside world, and with a longer timeframe they could afford to be much more discerning in their recruitment and with the long timetable they'd need fewer people to do the necessary work.

"Originality" and "not doing the same thing that other game that just came out did" don't have to mean the same thing.

Which other big space RPG are we talking about, anyway? That Xenoblade thing?

There are three ships that are designed to travel to another galaxy in which they'll be no one their to help them if they get into trouble and they'll have to establish colonies for a variety of different species and there can be no room for error. With so much riding on the project there is no way it can be a small scale one since even on small mistake could doom the project before it even started.

"She" was on the same ship as the protagonist and possibly even sleeping with him/her, and anything the old Broker had intel on would have passed to her when she took over. So... it'd be a massive asspull if this theory was right in spite of it never being mentioned.

The project would've started long before the events of LoTSB.

Xenoblade Chronicles X, like I said. Earth is destroyed, humanity escapes aboard a massive escape craft in which they are held in stasis until they crash-land on a world that's not on any star chart, and from there it's a massive open-world exploration fest of an uncharted planet filled with crazy wildlife.

The computers and informants would have still been there during the events of LotSB.

Which is why it doesn't make any sense if these ark ships are built during the time of the trilogy. By the looks of things it seems that these ships were built after the trilogy.

Meh. Liara knowing that there were some arks, and maybe that they might have got away, doesn't change anything.

I think Andromeda will be just fine if it shares similarities in the exceedingly broad plot strokes of another sci-fi game, a reflection of a very old trope.

That was big?

Anyway, isn't that just one planet?

It was big both in the sense that it got a lot of attention and in the sense that it was a frickin' huge game-world.

 

And yeah, it was one planet. With a lot of ground to cover. I was talking more in the sense of plot and gameplay, though.

Some of the folks on Reddit think the Arks are being powered by Crucibles. Considering how Citadel-esque the Arks are, the structures being pointed out are in a similar position to how the Crucible docked.

If so, that would mean quite a bit post-ME3 is when they leave.

It would make sense, the Crucible was essentially just a massive source of energy and they'd need something like that to keep all the people on board the Ark(s) in cryostasis for 240 years.
