Jake @hypetrains101 @macwalterslives Could the Initiative's benefactors have ties to Cerberus? @macwalterslives @hypetrains101 Not likely. Cerberus was too busy rebuilding Shep or preparing for the imminent arrival of you-know-who... #Reapers

I think saying "Star Date: 2345.23.156" would get confusing as hell... Uh oh, KirkyX is going to be after your ass.
Well if I remember correctly, star dates were always changing. One episode they'd start with 2345.23.156, but in a newer episode they'd have 2245.16.136. Fans were wondering how a later episode's star date was further in the future, than another episode's star date being in the past. It was explained that different planets and sectors, had different times and years. Where it's 12:30pm 1/20/2164 on Vector XII it's 2am 7/2/2235 on Dax IV. Also, despite the use of star dates, Earth kept using its yearly counter.

One does not do this.

Bio, what is the woman vocal called? I always loved hearing it when talking to Urdnot Bakara, but unfortunately didn't know the name of it. Also, thanks for the video, I'd hug and kiss you for all the awesome -- on the ball -- info videos... BUT I'm taken So a good old "thumbs up" will have to do

I know I'd be down for it. Normally I'd say no, they wouldn't do that but if they're really looking into ME1 concepts and original ideas for stuff to do they DID have concept art for dual wielding pistols. Sooo... it's poosssible but super unlikely. I definitely want it though.

Well that's different. No one told me that we are getting cybernetic upgrades worthy of the Lazarus Project! I think those might be dual Revenants in that clip, with maybe some newly evolved high-speed Concussive Shot.

BTW: the question of "why are we going to Andromeda" (in-game reason) pops up pretty frequently in other threads and is the biggest question left for me before jumping into the new setting, so has anyone who is on twitter asked: Why are we going? What's wrong with Earth and the Milky Way? Why do we have to leave? Why do we have to find a new home for Humanity? We know that the meta-game reason is leaving the trilogy behind and untouched, but what is our in-game motivation to leave everything behind and start a new life in unknown territory after a 600 year cryo sleep? Why take so many with us or worded another way: why do so many volunteer to make the trip? That's what Mac Walters said on Twitter: Its Steve, Kupo! @saofollower@macwalterslives Quick question: Chronology, if I'm correct, the A.I. started pre-reaper war. So why are they looking for a new homeworld? Mac Walters @macwalterslives Originally? Same answer as to "Why go to the moon?" Or Mars; Curiosity. Ambition. Discovery. Because nobody had ever done it before... And so it begins. The same guy that contributed to the brilliant ME3 endings comes up with this beaut as to why we go to Andromeda before the Reaper War even starts. With 99% of the Milky Way unexplored, and with no compelling existential reason ( i.e. no Reapers yet to come and recycle us), we decide to go to Andromda just because it's "there". Brilliant. Sadly, I wish I was surprised. But I am not.

Sadly, I wish I was surprised. But I am not. I am still hopeful that there will be more to that. I mean, the 'how' in building the Arks is stupid, but they came out of necessity after the state of te galaxy - or states - after ME3. So even though it is incompatible with ME's lore, I'm willing to go for it. However, the 'why' is something that I cannot possibly believe will be that simple and unrealistic. Although some people here will say it's perfectly reasonable and it's just like climing a big mountain!

Don't see why people get so huffy about the reasons for exploring Andromeda. This is the first time I've ever had to start skimming posts in the twitter threads, and they're my top favorite ones to read all the way through. I saw a post about possible warring factions game on planets earlier in the thread a few pages back, and that made me so excited. Makes me think of all the possibilities in the game:wub:

Really, I don't get the whole "going to Andromeda because it's there is bullshit" mentality. There absolutely are people who are willing to do something just because it hasn't been done. Look at the popularity of signing up for one way Mars expeditions that may or may not happen.
Explorers gonna explore.

With 99% of the Milky Way unexplored, and with no compelling existential reason ( i.e. no Reapers yet to come and recycle us), we decide to go to Andromda just because it's "there". Brilliant. Sadly, I wish I was surprised. But I am not. Again, why people think it was necessarily Walters' idea or decision to move to Andromeda for that reason? There are higher ranking people in the team that might've approved of it, and another writer (or the former lead writer) might've come up with that. And we still don't know if this is just propaganda and there's another reason behind. This reason might make no sense (to you), but the project starting during ME3 would have the enormous hole of the MW species building four of the biggest ships they ever built, along a massive, Citadel size Nexus (which is already ridiculous as it is with the 9 years of planning), along with the Crucible. No, I'm sure that would've been totally fine. No problems at all with that plan. I am still hopeful that there will be more to that. I mean, the 'how' in building the Arks is stupid, but they came out of necessity after the state of te galaxy - or states - after ME3. So even though it is incompatible with ME's lore, I'm willing to go for it. However, the 'why' is something that I cannot possibly believe will be that simple and unrealistic. Although some people here will say it's perfectly reasonable and it's just like climing a big mountain! Your opinion, is well, just an opinion. Not a fact. The fact that you think it makes no sense or that it's incompatible with ME3's lore doesn't make it a fact that everyone has to agree on. The same goes on the opposite, with people criticizing who don't believe this plan makes sense. I do think there's an hidden reason for the voyage. All the hints Bioware gave about it lead to that direction, and the orientation video smells a lot like propaganda.

Mars One had over 4000 applicants for a one way trip to Mars, despite the fact that the projects schedule, technical and financial feasibility, and ethics, have been criticized by scientists, engineers and those in the aerospace industry. It's not that far fetched to believe there are 100,000 people willing to go on a one way trip to another galaxy by 2185.

Just watched the first episode in the new Mars series on National Geographic channel which suggests that SpaceX is also looking to do something similar (the programme itself seems to be mixing documentary type interview footage with the SpaceX people alongside a dramatization of the actual mission happening in 2033). In my opinion, those who don't believe that the desire to be the first to explore and settle a new Galaxy is not a credible reason for the AI just don't understand human nature.

Look at the popularity of signing up for one way Mars expeditions that may or may not happen. Explorers gonna explore. Yes, but you don't go to explore Alpha Centauri before you go to Mars. Neither you look for a new continent that is extremely far away when you only explored 1% of the one you're in.

In my opinion, those who don't believe that the desire to be the first to explore and settle a new Galaxy is not a credible reason for the AI just don't understand human nature. There is absolute no real life example of something remotely close to the Ai. I'm not saying the drive to explore don't motivate people, but it doesn't motivate people to do that kind of thing. Not to mention, there are also things like economy and logic which are ignored by the Arks.

The difference being that Mars One's proposal reads like an elaborate scam at worst and the script for a tacky reality TV show at best, while SpaceX is a legitimate aerospace organisation actually making technical strides toward making their ideas reality.
