I want to quit Andromeda Initiative. It's a suicide mission.

I'm probably starting to sound like a broken record. So apologies in advance:

I actually agree that the removal of weapon on the Nomad is not very clever. But because we know that it is done from a gameplay perspective and not from in-universe perspective, there is only two things we can do:

Try to see how it might work in the setting and make it less "immersive breaking"
Or
Try to see how it don't work in the setting and complain that it is "immersive breaking"

I know that there is good reason from both sides, but since we only have one side in the game (unless they make it possible to put drack on the roof) I can only try to make people see it from that perspective.


Since I don't see what more I can say to make anyone see it this way, I will now escape and take a beer.

Is ramming speed not a thing?

I pick option "a", it's professional to get out of the car in a group representation meeting.

Thank you. To me that's meaning light armor and small guns for the ship. It would be crazy if there is no defense in it.

Not particularly happy about disarmed nature of the nomad and the tempest.
I really hope the nexus is supported by a load of heavily armed craft.
That won't stop me disliking the notion of an exploration ship and landing craft that seemed designed solely to run away rather than face hostiles.

 If the car can have a weapon, lets say something like the M134 GAU-17 Gatling Gun, that weighs less than 100lbs, I doubt it would effect the Nomads performance.

And I bet at the same time we will have all kinds of decorative luxury stuff in our ''captains'' quarters. Talk about priorities..... 

Hey guys look at the awesome bar! Unfortunately we had to get rid of all the weapon systems because the booze and fridge weigh a ton but in case we get attacked we can have a cool one to calm down. *thundering applause*

I really don't care if they draw in guns that we obviously won't be using anyways... because they're writing the story and designing the game; and they're writing it such that, obviously, there will be no situations that will require us to use guns either while inside the nomad or Tempest. At least one less automated cutscene we have to worry about cutting into our dialogue-wheel-time.

I still just don't care.  It's not a issue to me.  AFAIK, NASA didn't put heavy weapons on the space shuttle, so I can accept a space exploration vehicle that doesn't have them.

People here are more into insisting that Bioware write their stories completely in a way that those people want them written... right down to every comma and period and every bit of artwork in it.  I say, if those people want to write their own games so badly, why don't they just get together and do it.  There's apparently lots of money to be made out there... and then I'd just have more games to choose from.

All this "if we run into this or that" is really moot; because unless Bioware writes the situation into the game; we are quite simply not going to run into this or that imagined by the people here.  We're going to run into what Bioware imagines is pertinent to their story and the universe for which they are creating the rules.  It doesn't have "its own set of rules"... not yet.

In the Mass Effect universe when the human race discovered Aliens a bloody war happened. Having humans sent on a one-way trip into a completely new system underarmed and ill-equipped in terms of firepower and vehicles is an illogical decision if I ever saw one.
