Andromeda Initiative briefings (6/6 Golden Worlds and Settlements)

That was my thinking, but who knows?  They might be all "Get prepped and join up with the Andromeda Initiative!" which I would be completely fine with.  But, I see that I was right, and only off by a day.  I said that the following Monday after TF2 launched, they would start talking about it.  They started November 1st.

EDIT :  And actually, I wonder if they'll have differing 'commercials' for the differing planets/races.   Since that would shut everyone here up about 'humanity is so special.'

  

'Cause prolly the story is too big and not moving quickly enough to cover.  An analogy.  The gulf oil spill.  The spill is still ongoing (I believe), but it lost its sex appeal the minute that everybody caught wind of it and starting covering it.

I wonder how long before the invasion the(se) ark(s) were built. Part of me is hoping they just retcon it in there cuz I think an undertaking of this scale being done in complete, perfect secrecy is STUPID, but w/e.

If they wanna make a really clean break they might put all the emphasis on exploration and not danger/escape/contingency in which case the ark(s) might have gone before there were even whispers of the reapers.

Time to start asking people on twitter. 

I don't entirely think the point is secrecy.



From what I can gather, Mass Effect 3 seems like a classic "Total War" situation. So it would make sense that a vast amount of resources, technology and personnel would be involved with making ships. I don't think most people would bat an eye at it, and just believe it was all part of the war effort. Its also kind of hard to bat an eye at or investigate something when the Reapers are hella coming for your planet.




It would make sense that the Ark(s) would have such a vast amount of resources, labor and advanced and experimental technology put into building them, in preparation for war or extinction. The arks definitely seem like an absolute last resort, given how technologically advanced and threatening the Reapers are, and that only a comparatively small amount of resources and effort would be used to build arks, and still leave a vast majority for the war effort, keeping secrecy and almost no one the wiser.

Daylight savings ends, N7 day, and election day all within a three day period? Cats and dogs living together, craziness!

I was going to ask the exact same thing.

I remember in the E3 2016 video we see 3 arks and 6 shuttles. I thought it might mean they superficially paired species in each ark: humans/salarians (like each other's food) , asari/krogan (comparable lifespans) , and turians/quarians (similar biochemistry).  It would be exciting if each day we got a unique perspective for each of the species and their reasons for joining the AI.

And I'd go "Wait!  I thought this was the ship bound for Elysium!"

Why would you go up there with the worse food in the world?

"We are taking the security of our passengers very seriously. Now please take your sta... sleep pod"


Hyperion it is. You can see it in E3 video as well.
