2) Bioware did make publicly known in a ... something-something, I forget what it was, as it happened a long time ago, that the overwhelming majority chose Destroy and MaleShep was the most played, Liara the most romanced etc. At least, I seem to remember so and that doesn't mean that I couldn't be wrong. Yeah, there was an infographic showing what people actually did with ME3. I think you're remembering it correctly. One oddity is that it implied that a lot of players finished the game in a low EMS state, since a lot of squadmates got killed.

What hub worlds can we expect to find in Dark Space? I would not have any. Just have a space station that's similar to the Citadel that the reapers use for 50.000 years. Any hub worlds would be the ones that are seen in the Milky Way before making the trip to darkspace.

Any hub worlds would be the ones that are seen in the Milky Way before making the trip to darkspace. Though it would be kinda cool to visit some sort of rogue planet in dark space. Maybe one that was ejected from a solar system near the perimeter eons ago or something. I'm not saying it would necessarily make sense astrophysically but I could imagine a sick look for it. Basically, it would be pretty dark on the barren ground (obviously), the sky would kinda look similar to our night sky, just that the dots are not stars but other distant galaxies. And then you see our Milky Way enormously "dawning" on the horizon. It could be beautiful.
Maybe the reapers kept some habitats on it to maintain "sample populations" of previous cycles or something. That would be a heck of a hub world.

Any hub worlds would be the ones that are seen in the Milky Way before making the trip to darkspace. While the idea seems interesting, I don't know what use would the Reapers have of a Citadel like space station. Not to mention, since their use of it would be so alien compared to ours, what would we get out of it? There will be no sentients there, organic or synthetic. We won't find housing, or stores. I don't expect to find the Dark Space Lounge or Dr. Eradicator's Infirmary there Our RP potential would be severely handicapped in such a setting. And I have to wonder, how deep into dark space are we going to find this stations and how long it would be. Not to mention the uncertainty of the new worlds we would potentially be exploring, on our way out of the Milky Way and why would we be visiting them in the first place? Is it a practical reason? Do we need something from them? Do we need to find something from them? Are they going to be like the Andromeda hubworlds? Or more like the ME1/2 hubworlds? Are we going to find places like Ilium and Noveria or just some planets with flaura and fauna to explore?

I don't know what use would the Reapers have of a Citadel like space station. Having a space station, or call it a docking station if you want, is for the reapers to hook up to so they are shutdown for 50,000 years while drones and mechs give the reaper a once over. Check the tire pressure, change the oil, grease the fittings and anything else the reaper needs. Instead of one station, there could be multiple stations since there are x number of them. The reason to go there is to make sure the reapers are no longer a threat. It's possible there would be information to download that could prove useful like information about the species that were harvested before this cycle. Information on how the reapers were able to make their ships so strong, powerful, and able to fly much faster than council ships. Would it? Since the idea is to use the Citadel relay, it wouldn't matter how deep in darkspace Shepard travels. How long will the mission take? That would depend on what Bioware chooses to put in the mission, if they were to do what I've suggested. I would say one reason is because the species are trying to find more resources to help with the rebuilding. When encountering a new species, they eventually become part of the galactic community. Maybe even help them with whatever problem they might have. In my post I even mentioned finding a species that were able to avoid the reapers by digging underground. How many new species would be discovered? That would be up to Bioware. Maybe one or two. With hubs, I would include Palaven, Sur'Kesh and Thessia. It's too bad that more time wasn't spent on those planets. I would like to have seen Theeisa before the reapers showed up. See more Sur'kesh, and maybe have a mission taking place on Palaven. Why not have both?

It certainly sounds like it would. But I understand you have something in mind. Why don't you try explaining your idea further? But it sounds miles more ambitious that mine. I don't know how much of it is feasible.

I don't know how much of it is feasible. I would have similar to what was done in the archives during the Citadel dlc. I would not be surprised if Shepard and squad encounter a few hostile drones or mechs while exploring the station. If anything, I would be more concerned about the station having defenses against an unknown threat that isn't a reaper. What I would do is break up the squad into teams. Everyone carries a ruck sack with explosives that will be planted throughout the station. While the squad is planting the explosives, someone is in the control room or what ever name someone wants to call it, downloading all information. Once all the information is downloaded, and it's confirmed the reapers are no longer a threat, the explosives will be detonated just as the Normandy uses the relay to get back to the Milky Way. What Bioware could do is put in several scenes with the teams fighting the mechs as they move throughout the station making it more stressful. As I said in the post, Bioware could run wild with their imagination since no one knows what to expect in darkspace.

I do understand what you're tying to do with your idea, but I think you need to be more specific on what you would show us with your game. As I already stated, it sounds too ambitious and grand to be effectively and satisfactory developed at this point in time.

well I have an workable idea of a Reaper Avatar. Each Reaper Avatar is a member of that species that unify them into the entire Reaper Ship. For example, Shepard would have been a good Reaper Avatar, T.I.M. would be a good Reaper Avatar. I do suspect that The Authors were trying to show that Saren of ME1 was becoming a Reaper Avatar and Paul Greyson was becoming one in the novels.

funny as hell and It does fit into my idea. Keep in mind that Sovereign did say Each Reaper is a Nation. Well Why not have a dominated personality to lead each Reaper "nation" and having an unique boss battle with each different Reaper Avatar. Each Reaper Avatar would be like fighting an Small army, a very well equipped small army.
