The Bioware devs stated that for a while they had the idea that the player would be able to control the Tempest as it flew around the Helius Cluster. They liked it, but in the end decided to not try to do too much new stuff with the new game (Jack of all trades, master of none), but instead perhaps save it for later games. I personally enjoy playing Elite Dangerous and that feeling of being in the cockpit, dealing with manually landing on space stations and the like.
Would the community enjoy that functionality being added to later games in Andromeda, or perhaps as a DLC for this one (unlikely as that would be)? What would the pros and cons be? I think it would be great and would add a whole new level of immersion to the game, but I can understand some people thinking it would be tedious. Of course weapons would need to be added to get the most out of the experience I think.
What do you all think? Fun addition or tedious chore? What could make it or break it?

In an ideal world yes, but I'd rather they focus on the standard Mass Effect rpg-style games

I think there is money in a Mass Effect Sims game spinoff.

I think there is money in a Mass Effect Sims game spinoff. That could be very fun. I mean like Elite Dangerous where you are in control of every aspect of flying the ship. Taking off, landing, power allocation, opening cargo doors to pick up debris, throttling hyperspace jumps and whatnot. That type of game. |

Combine that with the Sims, with the rate of people wanting to bang everything plus the kitchen sink, & you'll have the best selling game of all time. |

I want Mass Effect to be a BioWare game if I wanted a game that is like Elite Dangerous I would play Elite Dangerous. Looking at Dragon Age: Inquisition they wanted to make the game like Skyrim and look at the mess that we got. If you ignore the Skyrim parts of Inquisition the game was enjoyable for me, but the bolted on Skyrim aspects were the worst of the game and that is the exact same thing would happen with Mass Effect and making it more like Elite Dangerous or any other game of the ilk.

I love The Sims. Maybe we can create a colonist and just live on an inhabitable world, having a job, building a house, having prettygoodbanging.
No more silly pathfinders or spectres or commanders. Just a regular colonist.

Oh god yes. If you could take a game like Mass Effect 2, more specifically with its world building, atmosphere and lived in universe and add ME2/Witcher 3 in-depth side quests etc take all that and combine it with a space sim like Eve Online or indeed an Elite Dangerous, then have the whole thing be written by Obsidian... Well that would be like the dream singleplayer game for me. That would be the ultimate Mass Effect imo.
I think its a shame space sims arent a thing on console. I bet there's a lot of gamers who'd love to play them. Its an untapped market for sure. But publishers hate taking risks so just stick to the same old same old, to what they know is a garunteed money maker.

As I said in another thread: Make it a story driven, Wing Commander - or even Privateer - like spin off, and I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

Well sure, I mean that's exactly why they said they didn't implement it in game. They didn't want to do too much and take away from their core game. I mean in a perfect world where they do the story, charters, and quests all to Mass Effect standard, but also have the space sim part that works as expected as well. I understand your trepidation. I shared the same feeling about DAI. It just felt like a watered down Bioware game. |
