That´s the question. In the Milky Way, the Mass Efect Technology is the main tecnology, the base for all important Systems, from engines, to shielding, to weapons and various more.
But what is the main tecnology in Andromeda? With what weapons will the Kett shoot on us?

Not sure, I reckon some of their tech will have that 'organic feel' to it Bioware has been talking about. But yeah I am really interested to see how they caught on to FTL. Did they discover mass effect fields on their own?

The Mass Effect technology will be extremely present, might even be the biggest one. I wouldn't even be surprised if the have a couple of small relays in there, or the plans to build them.
From the E3 trailer, the Kett used laser guns, like Star Wars.

If writers didn't come up with some different kind of FTL for Kett then it would be rather uninspiring. As for weapons, well, there are hundreds of possible options through sci-fi, even in trilogy not all of it relied on ME.

I think it's fairly clear that the Remnant tech will fulfill this role...which I suspect may be advanced terraforming technology that can more rapidly convert normally hostile environments into life sustaining worlds...providing it's sustained indefinitely. I'm sure it will have a number of other helpful applications as well.

I expect mass effect and eezo to be the main basis of most tech... It's mass effect after all and it makes sense that others find the same substance and explore it's abilities.
Then again, it's possible you could develop alternative tech, possibly even harder to master, but one that a species with no access to Eezo was forced to develop.

From the E3 trailer, the Kett used laser guns, like Star Wars. A blaster was any type of ranged weapon that fired bolts of intense plasma energy, often mistaken as lasers. Operating under the same principles as laser weaponry, blasters converted energy-rich gas to a glowing particle beam that could melt through targets From star wars wiki (sorry for the correction, i'm one of those assholes crazy lore-nazi guys)

Going by how there seems to be a black hole in the middle of the Heleus cluster, their technology is probably gravity (waves) based (like that gravity well in the trailer) instead of eezo based (even if eezo should be present). The Milkies are going to bring their mass effect tech there and clash with it. Mass effect is basically the anti-gravity.
Also, the threat of time travel and other weird temporal shenanigan is probably looming over us.

The speed of light is a hard barrier. I'd not at all be disappointed to learn that the mass effect is the only way to bypass it. Maybe hyper-advanced species, well beyond our imaginations, have achieved other means; but the kett seem to be more or less on our level. If they do have a different means, though, I'm equally okay with that. The good news is that "their tech" will be a bit different than "our tech". Mac confirmed via tweet some time back that "the species of the Andromeda Initiative" would be using mass effect technology. His specificity seemed to imply that the tech of Andromeda would be, at least in the majority, developed from different starting point. I've been saying for months how I'd like to see the impact of introducing mass effect technology to Andromeda explored, if we truly do so. (I have my doubts as to whether we truly do.) I'm pretty certain that this will not be a theme, but it could've been interesting to explore.

Who knows what the basis of their tech is, though? Even though Collector weaponry looked organic and "different", it was still built upon the mass effect.

Besides our science already has two theoretic ways to bypass speed of light.

Besides our science already has two theoretic ways to bypass speed of light. This sort of begs another question. If eezo isn't around so much due to it not being in technology, does that mean biotics will eventually disappear? Does being biotic pass down from parent to child? I don't think we know for certain. EDIT: It seems to be genetic in protheans and asari but not, for example, in humans.

Biotics abilities are the result of eezo exposure in very young age/before birth, so eezo starts to gather in neurous system and eventually it adapts (unless host dies) to use eezo with neural electricity. Thessia has eezo rich enviroment, so all asari there are exposed to it by default. As for their colonies - well, pregnant asari there probably need to eat some eezo cupcakes if they need their children to be good at biotics.

Which brings me back to my original thought that biotics might die out in the Andromeda Galaxy.

None of human biotics are natural and are result of "accidental" leaks of eezo in highly populated areas, so they have no more reasons to die out than in MW galaxy. We might encounter many non-biotic asari in the future though, if their parents decide not to undergo proper treatment.

Besides our science already has two theoretic ways to bypass speed of light. Theories have a way of turning out to be BS. I'd be fine if eezo were the universe's sole trick for bypassing the speed-of-light barrier. I'd also be fine if the remnant used some type if I standouts wormhole tech, or any other space magic. All of it is equally ridiculous, and equally acceptable, if cloaked in the right in-game tech-babble. I decided not to bring that concept up. Same with protheans, too, since they had a galaxy-wide empire. Then the assumption is that asari and protheans have gone out of their way to make sure children are exposed to eezo.

We might encounter many non-biotic asari in the future though, if their parents decide not to undergo proper treatment. Since eezo is a natural part of the universe, I'm sure we will see biotic species in Andromeda. I'd not be surprised if the kett have biotics among them. I'm sure diminishing biotic potential falls well outside the scope of the games. The asari could very well have elevated element zero levels high on their list of preferred traits for colony worlds in Andromeda. They could continue supplementing their food and drink, I imagine, indefinitely*. (Setting up eezo mining and refining will be an immediate priority in Andromeda, so they'd have a supply.) They developed biotics "naturally", through no conscious effort of their own. They should be able to maintain the status quo via dietary supplementation, indefinitely. *The wiki page for Thessia mentions that restaurants on Thessia serve a small side of eezo with food and drink. Seems strange, but it would allow the asari to maintain their species' adaptation wherever they went in the galaxy/universe. There's a visitor menu that doesn't cause horrific death via toxic sides. This bit of "trivia" has no cited source, so I am skeptical as to its origin.

Since eezo is readily prominent throughout the galaxy, the question shouldn't be, "What will they be shooting at us?" The question should be, "At what point did the reapers gain this technology, and secondly, at what point did they decide to leave it for us to find?"
The answer to the first is is arguable at best. However, I'm thinking that they discovered FTL travel much later in their evolutionary life cycle than 50K years. I'd say that they discovered it at about 100K-150K years. The second is not so debatable. As soon as they saw that the Mass Relays helped the races get to the citadel and any other number of places quickly. Mass effect relays were discovered so far into the evolutionary cycle by a mind that was so overwhelmingly better than all of the lesser race's minds that it was deemed okay for them to have them.
So, that therefore, when the Reapers were sitting around trying to decide when to harvest they didn't just pull 50K years outta their ass. The catalyst knew that he had advanced our tech level. But that was primarily so that we would catch up with the rest of the galaxy and be harvested.
So, I guess the long answer to your question is, I dunno. I dunno if they are gonna be ahead of us, behind us, or what since everything is related to ME fields these days and that's primarily due to the reapers.

Mass Effect technology is Reaper based - at least its foundation. Andromeda never had to suffer at the hands of Reapers, which means the first ever cycle could still exist when we arrive. That is billions of years of evolution and technological innovation. All that, without any influence of Mass Effect technology.
However, it could come to reason that Andromeda uses something very similar to Mass Effect technology. "All roads lead to the same place" sort of thing. Traveling at faster than light speed is very difficult. It is likely there is only "one" way to go about it - of course variations of the one way would happen, but using the same theory.
