Star Trek 2009 is so obvious IMO

Interstellar with the whole "Find a new home" plot

I always hope for some Contact references... but the Mass Relays are gone

That gives me an interesting idea, I want to see us create mass relays in Andromeda but that's just me.

I want more horror homages to be honest. I miss little things Bioware used to do like the cannibals at the inn in Jade Empire. Lovecraft homage please. Some Stephen King too. I would say The Mist but Bethesda already did that with Far Harbor. Pet Sematary!

I was always put off by the retcon in EC that we can just "rebuild them" but ultimately I bought the stretch. I just think building Reaper tech sounds insane. I assumed there was some special fabric or magic trick to the relays like the Keepers that us normal species just couldn't come close to replicating for some reason... then we built the arks... in 2185, so... but oh yeah, there was the Lazarus Project too anyway.

If books, a bit more from Heinlein's Number of the Beast in the romances.
If Hellenic, build upon Euripides mythological descendants Herculeanly while being guided by a model of Theseus' ship in bottle.
Horror? Amontillado?
Movie? Neon Demon?
TV? Sense 8?

EC rebuilding is less of a stretch because they can be left well intact aside from damage, in comparison to nude ME3 where they're nuked regardless.

Personally though, I don't want to see them building Mass Relay's in Andromeda, but I figure that they'll come across some massive Remnant space stations that are Andromeda variant Relay's. I doubt that sufficiently advanced civilizations elsewhere in the universe aren't also using eezo and Mass Effect fields.

Science Fiction nods in Andromeda I would like to see?

*Something akin to the Scramblers from Blindsight, or the Tlic from Bloodchild if the former are too "out there".

*A nod to Aliens, or The Thing. Perhaps even an alien based on them in some capacity as well.

*Aliens as aliens; an element present in ME 1. It would be a nice callback to previous BioWare games.

I think one can see where I'm going with these suggestions.

The more I learn about these aliens, the more I come to understand what drives them, the more I hate them. I hate them for what they are and for what they may one day become. I hate them not because they hate us, but because they are incapable of good, honest human hatred.

Dune. If I hear some junkie/stoned alien say "The spice is the key to space travel" I'll laugh so hard I won't be able to breath. And does Spaceballs count? there's some golden stuff that can bee added there. (I like my cameos to be comedy can you tell?

On the flip side I would adore a character like Rygel being in the game. I mean it would tickle me pink if Jaal were the Rygel clone, but I suspect Dargo might be more to the point, like you said.

I hope he turns out to be like D'argo. I don't mind Liam but I'm interested in friending jaal.

Deep Space 9.

I'd like to see some DS9 references. And more specifically i like to see Quark and or Garak(maybe have someone who was once a super spy and is now a mere "tailor") references. I think in a game about characters it'd be fitting to have mention of two of the greatest science fiction characters and just tv characters in general of all time from the best star trek series. Wouldnt hurt to throw it in there.

Some day, when my soul leaves this planet, and I'm soaring out into space and turn my head back to gaze upon Earth... I want the ME1 & ME2 Uncharted Worlds/Galaxy map theme playing.

Zaeed Massani is EA and Vido Santiago the Blue Sun merc is Bioware/The Mass Effect franchise :/...

Even something as simple as a planet's entry in the codex being just 'Mostly Harmless' would put a big smile on my stupid sad face.

I don't care for homages or references. I enjoy original thought much more than a wink-wink-I-watched-that-too moments.
