Mass Effect News Thread

Cold fusion is still too far from what actual or near future tech can do.

Mars offers good conditions for a long term exploration (despite the distance) when compared to other worlds in the inner Solar System and also we can search for life there, either as fossil or modern living things, since it is know some Earth beings are capable of living on Mars conditions (like tartigrate or lichens).

But i agree about exploring the moon too.

I definitely agree Mars should be the first planet we colonize given current information about it.

I just think we should focus on creating a daisy chain to get there instead of "Here's 5-10 months in a box, have fun." Establishing a moon base, then maybe a station further out, then maybe one after that... Rest stops on the sol system highway, so to speak. Also a moon base would let us play around with 0G construction and maybe some terraforming and setting up habitats and a ton of other things that would be useful to have tested out in a close-by, "easily" reachable, hostile-to-life environment, before trying to colonize a far off planet. There's just so many potential benefits to exploring and utilizing the moon first. Going to Mars now is like trying to ride the rapids at the end of Oregon Trail when you're unprepared. Its gonna go badly, and even if you make it, its very likely gonna be a one way trip.

(I'm not trying to argue with you, bshep. I know you didn't say you were against what I said about the moon or anything. Just expounding more on why I think the way I do. )

But... Weren't those two threads (discussion and archieve) created so even if derailing happens, those who look for info don't need to come here? And we can carry on how we always did (with occasional derailing)?

EDIT :  I hate multiple tabs.  First of all posting ME stuff in the DA thread, and now posting DA in the ME thread.

WE all know about Deus Ex : Mankind Divided's new "multiplayer" system called Breach right?  Here's the video if you don't know it.





What if BioWare's new IP and ME:A are connected in the same way, and that's why they are being super secretive about it?

ME:A, The discovering of Thedas?

Well, not exactly.   I was thinking about No Man's Sky, thinking about how you have to repair your ship to even get to the moon, then I started thinking about DE:MD, and kind'a crushing those two together.  I mean, it is one of those kind'a conspiratorial kind'a ideas.  But I thought I'd run it past y'all.  See if it goes anywhere.

except that is not how archiving works. right now the archiving is a week behind this thread and it's not even that busy in the twitter verse. imagine when we actually start getting some serious twitter traffic when BW start releasing some info by the end of the year. all i ask is, please keep it about the tweets and ME related.

*reads last few posts*

sigh i give up.

These are good points.
Some of the archive delay has been around debating the formatting.

To make it easier, the archive thread is now unlocked so if anyone wants to drop an archive tweet copy in there, they can.

Time when he speaks about Mass Effect?

btw... LEE!!!

Ten bucks on the Krogan in that fight. Sorry Qunari but you're going the way of the Rachni.

The more we discover about them more fascinating the worlds in the Solar System become. That is the beauty of science.

Could just mean that this is the first pass of this particular element that Blair has seen. Or maybe its the 50th pass and he just felt like actually tweeting about it as a tease that day so he's talking about jo dropping it on him. It doesn't have to mean she just wrote it.
