I saved the krogan scouts on my first playthrough because of Drack and Kesh, but I think saving Raeka makes more sense. One Pathfinder plus several other salarians, possibly civilians, or a group of scouts? Drack's and Kesh's reaction though... On that note, anyone know whether saving Raeka stops us from getting

I *think* you have to save the scouts, do the bar fight with Drack and his loyalty mission to get the clutch quest for Kesh.
Yeah I think you have to back the krogan all the way to get that quest as I don't remember that quest popping up in my saving Raeka playthrough only in the playthrough's when I saved the scouts. Which most of my characters did because certainly my last Sara and current Natalie felt what with the threat of the Kett and we're not going to be able to settle down properly till we deal with them we'll likely need the Krogan's help to get rid of them. Mostly because of the Krogan ability to fight.

I save the scouts because while I do want a good relationship with the Krogan, I also want one with the Angara, which makes me pick Moshae at the end. So, balance.
Salarians already have plenty of power with Tann as director.
Plus, pathfinders are dime a dozen; I will pathfind for all the arcs if need.
Raeka is the kind of person the Andromeda Initiative needs. She was an instrumental part of the science project to bring biodiversity back to Erinle, which is the kind of expertise the Ai need for their colonial endeavours on these not-so-golden worlds.

yeah that's why most of my characters have picked the Moshae as well and I think my Natalie will too once she gets that far. Because she respects the Moshae because of them both being scientists and she respects the Angara as well. She also recognizes that this is the Angara's hom enot the Initiatives so if the AI want to make Heleus a home they need to prove to the Angara that they can be trusted and won't bully the Angara into submaissoin like the Kett has tried to do. Not to mention she's developed a soft spot for her Angaran squadmate Jaal to so dosen't want to disappoint him. Plus yeah Salarians do have a lot of power with Tann as Director, but also Ryder turns out alright as pathfinder despite not having proper training so why can't Hayjer and the rest of the pathfinders?

So, another "What did you do in Andromeda ..." tweet. I do hope these tweets lead somewhere. The difference with Drack's Scouts and Bull's Chargers (with me) is that you actually get to interact with the Chargers and know there backstory. With Drack...its I dunno what the right word is, but there isn't a "emotional" attachment, like it was an easy choice to choose the Pathfinder, because the game tells who basically how important the Pathfinder and their Sam's are. Hell, there is three main quests attached them; with Drack there are none. You can't even talk to them, so they might as well not exist--before hand. The only interaction before you have to make that choice is Pathfinder Raeka.

There is also this. If memory serves me that world was facing a extinction level event during ME2 time. Whatever scientific solution she helped perform to save the endangered species there was nothing short of a miracle.

First PT I saved the Krogan scouts because I figured that's what Raeka would probably want. Others over Self as a Pathfinder. I also thought that a Pathfinder would stand a better chance of finding a Path outta there, but that didn't happen.
Second PT I saved Raeka and whoever those other Salarians were. And that was cool getting to meet her and all that.

So nobody thought the archon having the knowledge to ascend krogan was a bad thing? I mean, I like Raeka as much as the next guy, but pathfinders are expendable (see - oh... I don't know - all other pathfinders?). I'll admit that having drack with me did sway me a bit, but I just did NOT want the archon having the knowledge of krogan exaltation. That thought gives me shivers.

TBF though the Archon probably had that knowledge anyways, or at least was close, you just took away his stock.

This. I still chose to save Raeka, but was what I was weighing against her was not how much I liked that specific group of krogan, or how important their work was, but how much of an asset they'd be for the Archon.

As far as i remember, according to an audio on the Archon's ship, Salarians are the perfect species for the exaltation. Krogans are a brute force, yeah, but due to the exaltation, Keth seem to have enough simple manpower\military units. However salarian minds would elevate Keth science (genetics as well as AI-development e.g.) to another level.

Sure, but IIRC, there's no evidence that the kett are at all close to figure out salarian exaltation, while they are certainly very close to reliably exalt the krogan. Plus they already had a ton of salarians, one more person wouldn't make much of a difference there.

I may say the same about krogans. We dont see prior this point exalted krogans nor exalted salarians, however after the choice is done, they appear. Thus we must assume, that our decision directly affects, whether Salarians get exalted or Krogans.

Please, make a point, if you object. (too late to hide smth under the Spoiler tag, but okay)
We choose Raeka and salarians - Exalted salarians wont appear after in the game (despite "tons of salarians" Keth got from the ark). We choose Scouts - Exalted krogans wont appear after in the game. So i ll repeat myself : We must assume, that our decision directly affects, whether Salarians get exalted or Krogans.

Yeah, sorry about the spoiler, but I'm not sure what is or isn't a spoiler at this point, so I'll keep it there, though as you said it may be too late.
I already made a point, the kett are very close to krogan exaltation, and not as close to salarian exaltation. And that is why, from that angle, it'd be more beneficial to save the krogan:
Save Raeka -> Exalted krogan Save scouts-> No exalted salarians
I still saved Raeka FWIW, because there are more things to consider than exaltation.

Hi all,
First actual post on these forums after a long time lurking both here and on the old BSN, so bear with me if there are any formatting issues.
Just a small PSA that issue #4 in the 'Mass Effect: Discovery' miniseries from Dark Horse looks to have been delayed almost two months from its original release date of August 30th to October 25th. Whilst in all probability the reason for this delay may be as straightforward as the artist (or other creatives) requiring this extra time to complete their work owing to any number of extraneous factors, a little speculation about future content never hurt anyone.

I would agree. Whilst delays are not uncommon in the realm of comics, it is atypical of my experience with Dark Horse's previous Bioware tie-ins (be that Dragon Age or Mass Effect). Were this delay indicative of a concerted effort to keep certain story details under-wraps, though admittedly the odds of this appear more and more unlikely as the months drag by, it may also explain why we have yet to hear about that upcoming novelisation we've not seen hide nor hair of since it was announced.
