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

Yes, there are many jungles and men with guns in space as well. That is what my analogy said.

Well, if we find extra galactic aliens in our galaxy in the future, we'll just assume they came to destroy our homes because they would have means to defend themselves? Besides, how would the Andromedans even know we are from the outside?
Will we come with labels in our ships saying we've came 2.5 million light years away? The only way to be completely sure is to try contact.

And yes, it's not foolproof because your idea was that it's better to just go explore in the Tempest unprepared and just try to evade conflict and run. And that will not be always the case. Some fights you just can't escape. Conflict will happen. Death will happen because our first instinct is survival, not diplomacy. So we need to be prepared, and use violence as a (last) resort.

Now, I'm not even arguing Bioware's ability to make a plausible game, ship or characters. They could change a thing or two, but I'll still play and enjoy it. If that's how logic works in this universe, let's do it.  

It will still have moments of wonder in this game, I don't have any doubts. That's the most important thing for me, it plays with our ability to imagine what would be like out there, in space. 

Did anyone else zero in on that little terminal on the view port in the Pathfinder's room?

I'm thinking we may be able to either navigate or at least bring up information on planets from our room. That would be a nice little addition.

Jesus Christ the game is beautiful.

I think my PC is going to explode. Here's hoping it's well optimized...

Based on my experience with DAI, probably not. Most likely will get it for ps4.

Not sure you're point here? Whether there are ships surrounding the planet or just a civilization on the planet you're going to want to approach them and talk to them. Alternatively you could just avoid them and go find another less populated planet. Depends on your goal!

Point is, no amount of weapons will help in that situation and a heavily armed and armoured ship is both more likely to induce a hostile response and less capable of escaping one.

There is a reason to not have the option if having the option is counterproductive to your end goal. Which is peaceful relations with the races of Andromeda. Nothing is more likely to cause a hostile and untrusting reception than a heavily armed and armoured spaceship which uses a tank for ground transport!

Also it's not more options it's an alternative option. You are choosing between the option to have more offensive capability vs. the option to look less threatening and the option to be better at outpacing any pursuing hostiles.

In my opinion the latter two options are more useful to the mission than the former.

Nope, not just you. I couldn't do it, either. 

No, that's not the end goal of the project. The end goal of the Andromeda Initiative is to settle Andromeda and create a means to connect Andromeda to the Milky Way.

Scott Ryder I'm guessing. 

QFT!
Haven't laughed this hard in a long time.

Well, the Tempest doesn't have a "main gun" but does that mean it has nothing for protection? Hopefully not.

"Anything we can't outrun will have a tough time finding us" so... cloaking tech?
