Yep. Mass Effect has always leaned more toward "Science Fantasy" than "Science Fiction", anyway; especially since Mass Effect 2. I love the Codex and its sci-fi technobabble as much as anyone. I wish the game was more devoted to reflecting the "scifi" elements found in the codex than it typically is. Ultimately, though, one has to decide if it's worth "quitting the series". The writers can make up whatever rule they want whenever they want to justify anything they want. Fortunately, they rarely do this recklessly. I'm more than willing to wait and see what they have in store. I'm the opposite... I wish they'd trim the Codex down so that it references stuff actually important to the game... rather than stocking it with a bunch of technobabble that, so frequently, winds up being meaningless. It just gets them into difficulty when they want to add depth to the actual game because they have to contend with being "true" to a bunch of pseudo-science trivia that was never properly thought out within the context of the game to start with. A fair point. That is another good idea that could easily be implemented in MEA. They won't get another chance like this again, to reboot so many things.

That thing is too big to be inside Earth's low atmosphere. The only way i can see it working on a planet with 1G is if it uses reaper technology

It won't look so big or be so easily seen in person. There won't be so many "hawt people" as the posters suggest, either.

Well, first of all, how do you know it's inside earth's low atmo? It might be in space and just REALLY huge?
Okay, well, scratch that question, as I can see clouds behind it.

If that were true then this ark ship would be close to the Citadel Station's size or perhaps bigger. But it's below the clouds from what i see. But yeah, like some people said, it may just be for this recruitment thing. It may not even happen ingame.

I guess Bioware will have to add the words "Not necessarily to scale" for those who are overtly concerned about the size, etc.." Not to mention "Artist's Impression". I'm far from a stickler for accuracy -- the roaring and booms in space around Star Wars dog fights never bothered me -- but this ... I don't know what it is about that image, but it just makes me want to laugh, not in a good way, every time I see it. It's absurd on so many levels.

I think it's pretty fun to view from an in-world viewpoint, and clever if that's how they intended it. Realistically, even with ME tech, there's no way that thing is safely entering atmo. How much eezo would that require? What effect would it have on the planet? That city would likely be within its envelope. It's silly. It makes for a cool image, though. Plus, as we said above, the writers can change the tech-rules if they want or need to do so. I don't think they will, much, but they can.

I believe the only force that we have to overcome there is gravity. Or the only major force. I'm not stating that it's a small force, either. But we're still just moving mass. Or I could say hauling .... mass. Get it? 'Cause.... Fine, whatever. I'll take my jokes and go home.
