Which races do you think will make the cut, and which do you think will be left behind? I'm leaving Asari and Krogans off of the list of aliens, since we've seen examples of both coming to Andromeda.
Edit: I got the poll fixed. That's the last time I start a poll thread 5 minutes before I go to bed. I apologize for the inconvenience.

OP, you forgot turians. As for the question I expect only turians and salarians to be fully confirmed. As for everyone else - to oblivion. Not because I hate them, I'd like to see hanars for example, they simply never got a role to play in ME lore and proper popularity as result. So most practical solution is to get rid of them and try again with fresh andromedians, learning from past mistakes.

Wasn't there a shot in one of the trailers of the N7 character turning away from the galaxy map with a krogan and a salarian manning consoles on either side?

Yeah, the shape of the head and what was visible of the body was obviously salarian, in my opinion, so I think it is safe to say that there will be, at least, one salarian on the ARK. Whether they'll be NPC or squadmate remains to be seen. We've yet to see a shadow of a turian, though.

I am actually hoping we'll see some of unlikely races onboard like the batarian or drell. We hadn't see much of civilian batarian and we only seemed to be scratching the surface of the drell.
I could see justification for enough members of both races to make it onboard the ARKS. Granted, the batarian would be a bit harder to justify but still possible like that these batarians were people who'd fled the Hegemony and sought Council space for protection. There has to be outliers. I suppose the question would be if there would be enough outliers to keep the race going although even so, I'd still like to see some batarian individuals.

I'm hoping Hanar and Elcor remain present of the minor races. Of the major ones Salarians and Quarian make it.
Can't see a case at the moment for presence of the likes of Geth/Batarians.

Anyway, I think Humans, Salarians, Turians, Asari and Krogan are definitely in.
I hope Elcor, Volus, and Hanar get in.
Quarians and Geth I think will probably be left behind given how tied up they are in the trilogy story as species. All the others are doubtful.

Salarians and Quarians I hope will make it to Andromeda.
Even if we have not seen any Turians I'm 99% sure they will be there.
I'm ok with the flavor races (Elcor, Volus, Hanar) not being there but I'm not opposed if they are coming along.
I'm not expecting Batarians or Vorchas. The first ones are enemies of the Council, the second ones are just parasites and why would you bring them along.
I don't really care about the Drells, not opposed to them but neither happy if they make it. They are a big meh to me.
I don't see Geths being there because prior to ME3 Rannoch story arc they are sort of enemies for the Council races.
We will see though out of the unannounced races I expect Salarians, Turians and Quarians.

All! All teh races! Can't bait me… I actually expect every sane/semi-sane race to be involved in this little venture. By bringing "everyone", we're showing the Andromedan races that we're not alienist as some *cough*noAlloption*cough* seem to be. And cats, because while they're not space-faring, they let us "lesser" mortals do the space-faring for space tuna, which we'll come back with, if we don't want hairballs on our favorite pillow.

I see no good reason for any of the races to be left behind and hope Bioware has sense enough to see that too, so I choose Other since it is the closest to an All of the Above option.

Might as well share mine. The only ones I think will be left out for certain is the bartarians due to damn near being completely wiped out and the hanar, since those ME fields might not hold up. The latter wouldn't upset me. I don't like the hanar one bit. This one finds them creepy and one-note.

Well I know what I would do if I were part of the writing team and that is have all of them in one context or another even if they have no direct role in the story and were relegated to backdrop props. Each could be written in fairly easy one way or another. For example, you could have a few Quarian exiles who given their knowledge of prolonged living in space would make them attractive members and no home to go back to with their own kind jump at the opportunity to explore another galaxy. Geth being software could easily infiltrate one system or another and go dormant for the trip, activating and begin replicating their hardware upon arrival. You could have a Batarian stowaway (or several). I'd purposefully include a contingent of Vorcha because you need a labor force less likely to question why they're tasked with all the dangerous jobs. Hanar and Elcor in "significant" numbers are tough because of their special needs and space requirements, but in lesser numbers are doable. I'd leave myself open to options down the line since I'm sure they only have a vague idea of what any sequel might entail. More of the old provides more writing fodder to work with...so I see no real point not to include most every race to one extent or another.
What Bio and the writers will actually do, I have no clue. I expect that regardless of how many of the MW races make it to Andromeda, our interactions will be limited to the few we already know of, likely a Turian, and certainly an Andromeda race...maybe one additional.

More of the old provides more writing fodder to work with And more work for modelers and animators. If it wasn't an issue Bioware wouldn't struggle showing female versions of aliens. Even worse - krogans just got their male model covered with carpet. Female hanars? Ha, they didn't even get walking animation through entire trilogy, not speaking of different model. It's one model with one "jelly" animation.

Turhurrdurrians are a shoo in. Salarians have already shown up in marketing material.
Everyone else on the list is getting cut.

I'm going to stick out on a limb and suggest that the turians wont be there unless the quarians are there, and if the turains are involved the volus will be in which case they will bring along the elcor and both hanar /drell will be present as well since they have worked so closely with humanity oh and of ocurse humanity will take the aquatic /dessert races because they don't know what there fgoign to find in Andromeda but they will know that whatever they find genetic diversity will be required in order to suvive long term
of course that means the salarians will be needed for the science stuff... so that means most of the space faring races will be represented, probably by a single ark ship per species which would explain why so many ark ships (read a figure of 12 somewhere)
