Turians, Asari, and Salarian in competition for Bronze. Who gets the Bronze medal?
Humans are a clear number one. Setting up outposts left & right, humans in some prominent leadership positions. the crushing of the Archon led by a human, banging locan Angaran women, most rapport with the natives, best relationships with other MW races due to all the sh1t Ryder did for em, etc.
Krogans are next. They were one of the first to set up a colony and didn't need much Nexus support to do so either. I don't think they even had an official Pathfinder lol. Team Tuchanka managed despite having less to work with and being targeted by racist death squads.
Quarians in a clear last place. They didn't make it to the party.

Hmm. I thought the Angara were second.
Edit : Missed that you said Milky Way.
Have to give third to the Turians due to Vetra and Kandros..and Avitus, the former Spectre?

Do the Turians even have a planet with compatible dextro-amino biology? Last I saw they looked pretty doomed.

Crazy how the most advanced and influential race in the MW has next to nothing in Andromeda. Their star is a shady Pathfinder.
I know Krogans were gon go hard cuz they had nothing to lose and mostly went in pursuit of better lives in the next galaxy over. Idealistic exploratory crap be damned.
Salarians took their time which was strategic suicide. We gon sleep till you baddies go away. Given how short their lifespans are this was silly in a race for species advancement.
Turians simply need someone who will step up and be their leader. They too happy acting as the right hand man. Maybe Sid will be the Turian leader when she grows up

Asari. They can live in a wide variety of environments whereas salarians and turians are more needy in that department.

Well, it's not the Turians, their dextro planet blew up, their Ark is not salvageable and most of their guys end up in high risk jobs in the militia, defending everybody else.
I'd say the asari and the salarians are pretty much on the same level but the salarians get some bonus point for having more influence on the Nexus thanks to Tann being the director. Interestingly the asari don't seem to have anyone in the upper echelons of the Nexus administration. Strange, given their usual political prowess and tendency to take leadership positions.

Turians are the new Krogies? Give it some time. Asari thrive in times of peace where people are focused on good timez and pleasure. You can't exactly strip your way to the top Aria style when everyone is batshit scared for their survival.

Krogans did great because of how ghetto Andromeda was.
These guys gain power during times of murder & mayhem: Rachni Wars, Reaper Wars, and Kett Killers.

That crap wouldn't have happened in the 2180s. No wonder they are not getting anywhere.

Well, they probably have someone lined up from when Tann dies. It's like, five minutes away in Asari time.

No poll? Also......Humans first? Thank you for re-bringing Cerberus back into this. No the are Krogan first for all they have done WITHOUT any aid. Humans are second indeed due to all they did. Once the second fleet of arcs arrive then it can be truly up for grabs as to who gets third.

Asari just because they can live anywhere and they pretty breed with anyone to make more Asari. The Asari will be fine long term in Andromeda it's the others we have to worry about.

Humans are front and center all the way. Having a human pathfinder save everyone's asses sets up the humans to really be at the head of the pack. Krogan might indeed be right behind them as they put their outpost together pretty well without anyone's help minus the drive core. But in this galaxy, the power has shifted which I kind of like. I never cared for the asari of milky way. The ME3 scene where you discover they were holding out the whole time solidified my hate. I felt they always came off as snobs. The turians though I kind of loved. I never felt like they were aiming to be military might but just like that was how they were - civil servants of a sort, respecting duty, service, honor. Hopefully things start looking up for them in Andromeda. I'm hoping that the salarians find out a great deal about exaltation and that we get some more stg that survived and we get to see all their cunning come into play.

Salarians hands down. They're already ahead of the game, preparing for war against the Kett and experimenting in the background and in the shadows. They're hardcore on their STG shit right now while everyone else is celebrating. Their pathfinder, whomever it is in the end for you is nearly fearless and can get shit done. The asari seem to only have Sarissa as a competent, experienced and proven leader. Turians are arguable for that spot except most of them just don't seem nearly as hardened as MET turians.

Once the second fleet of arcs arrive then it can be truly up for grabs as to who gets third. The game put humans first. We did everything. Yeah the krogan got their act together but they went off on their own and they still have old grudges going on but the younger ones aren't really stuck there so that might be really good for them. Those old grudges will be their undoing if they can't move on. Salarians that are alive today had nothing to do with genophage but they are all hated for it which is wholly unfair to them as a race and individuals. Some of them might still think that way like Tann, but hopefully he is a rare type. Humans in the MEU work well with everyone and are willing to help everyone and end up being the guiding force. I wonder if any other pathfinder would have done what we did? I don't see it happening but maybe. Would be interesting to see what the other pathfinders do. Right now, they stand around pathfinder hall and stare at the walls while we are running around doing all the heavy lifting to keep AI going. That should have been handled better to make them not seem like such slackers.

Well it's hard to pick because in this game the majority of asari, turians, and salarians were sidelined with lost arks. I guess the turians will have to grow their stuff in greenhouses without a planet..lots of tv dinners I guess. Actually the only Milky way ones that have a planet really are the Humans and Krogan. It seems every species was meant to have it's own planet, so what do they do now? Humans have hogged Eos, Kadara, and Meridian so far and Krogan are suited best for Elaaden. The other 2 are dominated by the Angara. Habitat 7, which was human pick was a bust, same with the Turian one. There were 7 targeted Golden Worlds - Two were a bust - Human and Turian worlds - Habitat 7 and 5 Habitat 3 and 6 , Havarl and Voeld, are Angara dominated worlds. Elaaden is Habitat 2, great for Krogan. What's left is EOS and Kadara, Habitats 1 and 4. Then there is Meridian which since they crashed the human ark there should be the central human planet. So what happens? Do asari and Turians get any of these worlds? Why not?

Bad writing also. The other Pathfinders didn't do any actual pathfinding.
They'll find homes for their people.
But if Krogans taught us anything, it's that you can find a home without a Pathfinder.

Asari. Not the 3rd but the top race. Humans will be dead in a few hundred years, same as turians, salarians and quarians. Krogans may be around for longer, but like in Milky way they are under the effect of genophage. The math is simple, the number of lesser races is just not high enaugh to sustain and ensure population growth. As for asari, only one is needed to get the party started Also, asari have occupied all the really important jobs as they know the only other race in Andromeda in long term are the Angara. Ambassdor on Aya is asari and Nexus Cultural Exchange Center is lead by Asari, allowing them to play the angara in their hands. And lets not forget who is the mayor on Elaaden, the only non Angaran place where AI is not the absolute ruler. Let the lesser races found colonies for them, fight kett for them, when they die out, asari will have it all. Yup, asari are just as Peebee - #1.
