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

Does anyone remember if a dev said how much will we be able to customize the Tempest?

Can we upgrade her guns, armor, etc., or just cosmetic stuff?

I don't remember if they got into details with this.

Well, she's right - it's a dumb place to put them.  How about a nice picture instead?

Yeah well, no armour and no weapons so I guess that just leaves lipstick cosmetic changes

Yeah Hanako, I just read new topic about it but Thx for metoind me

For me this nonsense and very unlogical decision of Bioware. Reasons for this my option is numerous:

1. Andromeda Initiative is founded in case that Cmdr. Shepard don't stop reapers in its mission to wipe Human civilization and Milky way galaxy from life. With taking about 100.000 Humans and other ME Spices to Andromeda. (don't know exactly number)

2. It is started in period of ME 2 & 3 while our galaxy been in war.

3. From our history we can see that in time of war civilian ships usually become armed even to the teeth. Look merchants transport ships in WW2 at begin of war it been unarmed and easy prey for German subs but after war going on it get good defense weaponry that subs cannot engage it on surface with its main gun because it become suicide mission for German U-Boats

4. In time of total war even civilian factories and shipyards become part of military so weapon mount is allowed there is no time for regular law which denied it (we also had numerous examples in WW2)

4. First Explorer ships to the New Word also carry guns for defense

5. Is very stupid to send ark with last hope of Mankind into unexplored Galaxy together with unarmed escorts

6. On end if Nomad & Tempest don't need weapon why its crew is armed to the teeth with small weapons?!!!

I really hope that this is been demanted as no true news.
 I would like if we can made R&D of weapons and technologies in which we enoucerd in Andromeda that we can made customization of Tempest with it then...

ps even Oberth science starship have 2 phraser banks and at least one photon torpedo launcher

Not necessarily. The wiki is talking about the top speed possible for those ships, most ships may be well below that.

It's interesting that the limit is described as being the limit to avoid time dilation. Presumably, if you didn't care about time dilation you could exceed that. After all, keep applying thrust and you'll keep accelerating. Keep accelerating and you will, by definition, keep increasing your speed. Presumably ships have to stop once a day to discharge the core which is why FTL speed can be quoted in light years per day. Even then, given that half the time is spent accelerating and the other half decelarating. At the mid point they must be travelling faster than 12 per day for 12 to make sense as an average.

The arks, with their ODSY drive, and subject to fuel, wouldn't need to ever stop accelerating if they didn't care about the time dilation. But, I suppose, if the idea is to eventually establish links with the Milky Way avoiding time dilation might still be something they'd prefer.

Anything, just pleeease, let there be nothing so controversial as PeeBee's eyebrows or Tempest having no guns.

I'm hoping the next briefing will be on our squadmates and crew onboard the Tempest, kind of a formal introduction sort of thing. That or just some information on them, like Addison Foster, Nakmor Kesh and Sloane Kelly had in the Nexus briefing.

Yeah they have 3(?) to reveal in the next 2 months. That would make sense.

yeah I got the feeling last night after seing that snippet last night that Cora and Liam are close to being revealedf.

Maybe a briefing. Or an article. Or an interview. That would be good.

Given the past form of these sort of statements, I suspect that whatever it is, it will be accompanied by slight disappointment.

Or I could be completely wrong and it'll be amazing.

(Pls be the 2nd one...)

The problem is, if these things are controversial, basically anything is.
