GamerMD pointed out that the EAPLAY video showed planetary scenes were we see pre existing colony habitats, yet the protag just wakes up.

 

This implies that one ARK may have departed before the others to establish a beach head. Outposts were build  in suitable planets and elsewhere. Also this ARK may be purpose built for this task. That is... a more military approach with supporting personnel and weapon hardware since you don't know what's "out there".

 

One interesting tidbit, from an interview, is that the local indigenous population will react differently, depending on your approach and behaviour towards them. The first ARK may have the N7 guy as the Expedition Commander with a "establish a beach at all costs" mentality. This may cost the follow up ARKs with political dilemmas down the road... making allies.

 

Another tidbit, from an interview, is that the sequence of exploration activities and/or planet colonization effects the game down the road. Add "freedom to explore" without being tied down to the main story arc and we may have quite an interesting game to play.

Or they leave simultaneously, but one has a slightly modified drive which lets it arrive before the others. The better Ark could even leave later and arrive earlier.

 

This is actually the plot of the 1994 game Alien Legacy, including the colonization mission being launched because of imminent disaster back home. Well, if ME1 can rip off Starflight, why not?

Maybe, but if something happens to that ark the other arks might be up the creek when they get to Andromeda.

And right there we have the plot of the game.

I am getting more and more convinced he will turn heel.

They looked like prefab shelters, so it could be likely that they were deployed shortly after you planted your flag on that planet
