I have more cryo pod points than there are perks I even want

I believe this was fixed with patch 1.06.  At least, enemies aren't as spongy as they used to be and I'm about level 90.

I will take any extra mechanic that reduces time I have to spend farming.

No game should have work components. I cannot stand filler content just to make something bigger than it is.

Quality over quantity every single time.


Not every game can pull a TW3..😂

I would rather have 12 hour good story over 40 hours of grind x or wait x to progress story.

Actually seeing more people on the Nexus and more colonists on the colonies, with maybe more merchants and things, would have been amazing and would really have helped make the game feel alive.

now that they adjusted the system I think you can get all or most of them, but if you finish most everything before the final battle, then some of them won't really get much use. I really wish they did carry over due to this. My thinking is that if you did complete the game once, just let you keep the ones you have and instead, make it so that you can't get all until a second run. Having to start from scratch again getting access to them all over feels a little strange, but that's me. I know each game is mean to be stand alone, but since some things carry over, letting pods or a certain number of pods carry over would be nice since again, you don't get many early on. I think you get maybe eight or ten max by the time you get Voeld, Havarl and Eos viable.

As much of a pile of fail the settlement system on FO4 was (at least, without a ton of mods to make it work), I really wish we had something similar for MEA. Every time I pick up a bunch of crap salvage, I wish I could turn it in to use for outpost building. Like, find X items and resource materials to craft X outpost facility. And have the outpost facilities as the requirement for opening cryopods. Like, if you build a barracks, you can open a military pod, build a science lab of some sort and open a science pod, etc.

Interestingly, the Nexus from those vids matches neither the game nor the novel. In the novel, as well as in the game, the Nexus arrived fully constructed. The "partial construction" seen in the game is due to massive Scourge-damage the Nexus took. After 14 months, they'd made a fair bit of progress with repairs, under the circumstances. I'm not sure why they made the video differ.

Watching the Nexus be built could've been cool; but I just don't see how it could've been accomplished in a realistic timeframe in Andromeda. Then throw in the Scourge disaster, and there's absolutely no way. The workers are too few; the materials would be largely inaccessible; and they'd have no support from off-station.

Well, the novel and game match. The video, not so much...

There would've been a hell of a lot less mass to move through space, also; which presumably means substantially less eezo would be required. The idea in the video was really good. It just wouldn't have allowed the Nexus to be completed within the game's timeline. I think it could've been something we saw evolve between games (the first and second), as the Initiative and its allies grew stronger. Alas, who knows if and when we'll ever return to Andromeda? 

I'm the same way with the cryo pod perks..

Speaking of the Nexus, maybe I'll have to watch the AI website video again, but I kind of remember it being a big wedge-shaped spacecraft...and I always wondered how it ends up being the sort of four-lobed/four-winged station with the torus and axis that it ends up becoming. Did it come packed with the basic internal structural materials sort of folded up? Or did they have to gather a bunch of resources to craft that? Or maybe it's using an on-board manufactory? I still wonder how the central torus has all that water and all the buildings...

I'd like to have seen the Nexus finish more of its construction throughout the game, too, both inside and outside. And evidence of more people waking up, too.. I figure it's because of limits the devs put on the game; too many NPCs wandering around and concerns about the game's performance, etc. Still, they could show more people at the outposts, too, I guess..

Aye, another feature put in game with its basic concept without further developing.

The only perk I never saw I need for was Trade Capacity. Once I realized that carrying a lot of crap was going to be a pain to keep up with I began to happily deconstruct everything into mat's. The APEX perks and XP perks were handy as hell, particularly during that first Insanity run when I needed to level up as quickly as possible for crafting purposes.
