Hi there,
From playing the trial, we find out that the other arks still haven't arrived.. do you guys think that as we do the story, they'll appear and we'll have missions to help them? I remember from the cinematic trailer seeing an Ark crashing on a planet.
What are your hopes for the other arks? And what do you think will happen?

I think with what we know so far it's a safe bet, that we will spend a large portion of the game lookings for all 3 of those arks.

The popular theory I've heard is that the turian ark will be the focus of the book, but I have heard nothing concrete to support this.

In the game folders there seems to be a level for Ark Natanus, the Turian ark. Plus there are achievements for the other 2. I'll be pretty cheesed if they don't all play some part in the story. I'd love to meet some other Pathfinders in the game.

One of my prerelease hopes was that we'd get to be part of a wider team of Pathfinders and they'd be in the game doing their own thing / pitching in on certain story missions too. Those hopes are pretty much dead for me right now, especially after Kallo said the Tempest was the last of the scout ships. Speaking of other pathfinders, anyone know if there was supposed to be a Pathfinder on the Nexus itself?

Asari and Salarian arks have achievements tied to them so it's 99% safe to assume we'll see them
I am pissed about the Turian ark as it appears to be DLC. As per the datamine code, they found some info on it, however it apparently "seems" incomplete, leading to believe it might be DLC.
They kind of freaking make a big deal about the lost arks and then gate one of them through DLC? FOR SHAME BIOWARE FOR SHAME

Ah man, that's annoying. Turians are my favorite race (apart from Quarians) so it'd be annoying if I couldn't go on their ark. I'm not really a fan of the Salarians so y'know, I would have preferred them be the DLC ark. That said, I was watching a walkthrough video which seemed quite far into the game and These Angara on the planet that we visit was on (not Aya, it was a different one) got frozen by a remnant monolith, and when you wake them up, they described what Ryder realised were Turians, ("spikey beings") or something and that opened a quest. The guy doing the walkthrough was only doing the main storyline, so he skipped over looking at the waypoints on the map, but when he hovered over it for a second, it said something about the Turian Ark

You're given so many opportunities to assure people that their Arks will be found, that I can't see you not finding them. Especially not with the fact that every other Ark has a SAM, albeit a less evolved version. I'll be really upset if the Turian Ark turns out to be DLC locked.

Here's what I think the structure of the game will mostly be:
-Start on Habitat 7 and return there on or nearing the end -Have the 6 other worlds (maybe 5 though, and starting with Eos), as open zone planets to Nomad around in, and make sure to have the critical path involve parts of them (even if there's another full missionline more directly about the planet, that we can optionally finish to get planet to 100%) -Have 'UNC' around the galaxy, smaller planets that are less crafted and may or may not involve the Nomad, and not tied to the main story arc -Have squadmate missions around all sorts of locations (unsure if there will be 6 exactly or they will be multistep missionlines) and not tied to the main story arc. Major NPCs may or may not have missions too. -Have finding and helping the Arks be stages of the critical path and developing the Nexus, wherever they're located (space, crash, whatever). But its only the Salarian and Asari arks. Turian ark will be DLC that may be made up to be bigger deal than the other two, though well integrated for pre-ending or post-ending. That is, not as tied to the main story arc. -Some missions of critical path (or at least a major non-critical mission type) are not Habitat or Ark related, but have to do with your family. -No matter what, we end up with enough of a safe Heleus Cluster to have some sort of future there (both in extent and type), and enough forces to deal with the Kett while we reach our goal (Meridian?)

I have a feeling Turian ark is wiped out. I hope it'll proved to be wrong, but all i've seen somehow points to that it's been captured.

From what I saw on the achievements, the asari and salarian arks have not been destroyed (or at least, aren't destroyed prior to Ryder's involvement). The asari ark needs to be "rescued" while the salarian ark needs to be "liberated."
From the context (and this is just my opinion), the asari ark probably has a problem related to The Scourge or some natural effect. The salarian ark is probably held by rival angara (I think the kett would probably just destroy it).
There's no achievement for the turian ark, but according to that spoiler, we've still got turians. I'm guessing the ark is inoperable, maybe it's crashed on a planet and is unable to take off.
I also think finding the arks is part of the "main plot", and the side missions, after getting the colonies up and running, is to establish the worlds. The salarians would need a moist planet, whereas the turians need a dextro world. Humans and asari probably can use any planet. Perhaps the quarian/drell ark is part of the end-game (or shows up at the end game), I feel like it's too much of a waste just to not have it.

If an Ark is to be DLC, i'd assume it to be the Quarian/Elcor/Hanar Ark mentioned in the backstory. The three main Arks should be accounted for, even if some are probably going to be damaged to some extent.

I don't think the turian ark is dlc, did you see what's in my spoiler Yes. It doesn't keep the ark from being DLC. In fact it only adds to the idea of us being teased about it.

Maybe, I think it'd be pretty shitty to have Turians from the ark, so we'll know what happened to it since they'll be able to tell us, but be like "Hey, you want to actually go there??? BUY OUR DLC"

I think we'll discover at least one other ark. Looking at the galaxy map, so little was open to us in the trial. I'm sure as we explore further we'll find out more, even if we learn that at least one ark had no survivors[.

So here my guess. I also going to use some hint from the demo so minor spoiler.
-Turian ark is going to appear at somepoint, the turian guy first line when you speak to him is "no sign of turian ark". It is a weird thing to say for an important guy each time you talk to him. -Salarian ark is already here...somewhere. I found an ark escape pod in a kett base with a salarian being studied. -No sign of the Asari ark yet but mentioned in achievment.

Liam and Cora mention it every time I go there and it mentions scanning it but I could never get it to scan?

I know what happens to the Salarian ark now. You and the Salarian (female) Pathfinder take it from the Kett. Late game.

Turian Ark Spoilers Ahead So this guy is part of the Turian pathfinder team. He says the Turian Pathfinder is named Macen and he believes Macen is still alive because the SAM implant hasn't transferred to him. You meet Avitus in a small settlement of Turian survivors from the Natanus. No sign of the Ark itself, but one of the Turians in the small settlement asks you to collect debris/anything from the Natanus and they'll go join up with the Nexus. PS - this Avitus Rix guy is a former SPECTRE and sounds like a real bad ass. ;P

I know what happens to the salarian and turian arks. No spoilers from me, but it's very Mass Effect-y and comes off really good.
So...anyone know about the asari ark, other than the achievement?

Given that the Turian ark is missing and we don't know what it's involved with yet (at least I don't), and the Salarian ark has to do with the Kett, maybe the Asari ark is crashed and has to do with the Remnant?
