The Nexus has that central pillar that allows the Arks to dock. It can allow for four Arks to dock. The Hyperion, Natanus, Leusinia and the Paarchero. However, we are told that the Quarians Ark had some trouble and had to set off a little later than the rest. That makes five Arks, but only four spaces to dock.
Where was that fifth Ark supposed to dock?
With the Natanus unable to make it to the Ark, that final space is freed up for when the Quarians eventually get there (if they get there), but something just seems nefarious about this.

My guess would be that it was never clear whether or not the quarian ark would actually ever come to Andromeda. Thus, the Nexus was built to only support four arks instead of five. If you notice in the recruitment videos for the Andromeda Initiative, there is never any mention of the quarian ark at all.
Of course, with Natanus being disabled and Hyperion having crashed on Meridian, there are two openings for arks to dock at the Nexus! Not that it actually matters as the Nexus only seems to need one ark for the purpose of power.

LOL, you read my mind about this. I was going to make a post and call it the Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory syndrome. Basically each time they reach a new vehicle in the tour of the factory there are just enough seats for the group. This implies that Wonka knew children would be gone by the time they reached each vehicle. It's the same here...they knew an ark would be missing. Real Answer: Poor planning in the art design stage. |

I didn't even realize there was a Quarian Ark. I must have missed that part somehow. I just assumed they wouln't even make the journey due to having so few numbers and already having major issues with weakened immune systems.

(To the guy above because quoting decided to not work heh) It's mentioned by Tann (from memory) and by a thing after the game is finished. OP - you're right actually. I never thought about that but yep... unless maybe they never intended for the Arks to stay docked and instead shuffle to their planet. Conspiracy theories inbound  |
