The Tempest thread (confirmed 100% weaponry free)

I'm fairly neutral on its exterior design. I think overall it's pretty cool, futuristic airplane and all that... but do think it looks slightly flattened. I would also like to see some shots of the interior, because I'm mainly hoping right now that it has more light inside than the SR-1 or Alliance SR-2. ME1's was okay, but ME3's was just depressing. It made sense for the mood, as did the utilitarian feel (cables everywhere, low power consumption). But I think something more lit-up would suit Andromeda's feel better, being a more optimistic game in some ways, or at least not doom-and-gloom.

Asking the important questions Well, there was that random shower in Leviathan you could activate and make Shepard all wet for few seconds, Nathan Drake style. Not really sure what the point of that was. To show they could have characters covered in water? Did they actually use that anywhere in the game? I don't even remember.

I was actually just thinking that we should probably have an XO/Number 1 this time, who'll be in command while we're on away-missions.

That would be both hilarious and painful But it would fit the timeline... And we don't need to complain about it being out-of-character, because remember, 7% accuracy

DA:I had 8 because we used one of the triggers to select another set of 4. Both triggers are already used in ME, so they'd need to find another solution to still have 8.

If there really is a limit, I just don't get it. Why? We could always use the radial menu before, so why not just let us again, since it's still there? I hate having a power I can't use, and I also hate having my character seem like they only know how to do a few things, especially if one of them is throwing grenades. We still need confirmation on this, but if so, I'll be a bit disappointed and a bit surprised considering all the criticism DA:I's slot-limit got.

Anyway, I think the article mentioned there being some mysterious story reason you could re-allocate points this time around. Remnant tech? Here's hoping there is also a Mirror of Transformation, because that hasn't been confirmed yet.

Yay, I was hoping for a viewscreen, too! I now expect to be able to communicate with other ships/outposts with it!

Just being able to sit/stand and look out into the stars (normally or FTL) would be pretty cool for me, since I like just looking at the sky sometimes. In conversation, it would be a nice backdrop, but I'd be really pleased if it was the topic of conversation

They should have had a bartender, and they should have been voiced by one of the Inquisitors, since Mark Meer voiced DA:I's bartender And there should be one of the other Inquisitors as one of the people who hangs out in the galley Ahh, it's too bad they never had Krem talk to Cabot. Huge missed opportunity for meta-jokes, which I know Bioware loves.

Wow, props for going through the effort of making that tree! I know, because I did it once. Had to keep editing to get the lines to line up properly since the preview was different. Also, not quite the right conversation, but:

Nice Cassandra reference, too. Took me a minute to remember!

Anyway, you have a point. I understand ElementZero when he says he's not sure how you all sustain your hype so long! So when I catch up on this thread and see Kirky jump in with that never-ending enthusiasm, caps, emoticons, and TNG gifs, I can't help but grin The avatar helps get that across, too. Always good to see people excited for something, and I have to admit it can be contagious.

Hey, you never know! I met my girlfriend here after all  Or, not here, but you know. BSN.

Interesting you mention that, actually, since I haven't seen anyone do it. While it's technically correct, it usually makes me double-take to hear a ship only referred to by its name and without the article in the front. Ingrained inaccuracy and all that.

I have heard it, such as in Halo, though it's not 100% consistent there. "Supplies from Spirit of Fire" rather than "Supplies from the Spirit of Fire" etc.

Even just Enterprise sounds odd. Captain of the Enterprise. Captain of Enterprise. Hmm... Though I suppose it was usually "Picard to Enterprise". Didn't Legion call it just "Normandy"? Anyway, just some sleepy incoherent thoughts.
