Gil VS Kallo

I sided with Kallo. Don't be messing with a ship that's already been deployed without approval from Ryder or Kallo. If he did approach Ryder (Me) for approval I'd still tell him no.

Easily Kallo.

Not only because I like the dialogue and outcome more when you take Kallo's side.
Not just because I feel that changes to the Tempest should be done carefully and not simply done on a whim.
And not just because of personal bias.

But I also don't appreciate Gil's snippy attitude even when you side with him.
There's no conciliatory gesture on his end. Kallo is the one to extend an olive branch in both outcomes.

I think Gil is right. Kallo and his team did a great job in designing the Tempest, but it was designed as a scouting vessel and not to be a warship or to deal with the Scourge, and now it's going to have to be a warship and deal with the scourge. Which means upgrading or retrofitting. Which is what Gil is doing. I know Kallo looks at it like Gil is disrespecting the work that his team put into the designing of the Tempest, but Gil is really just trying to keep the current crew of the Tempest from being killed by the Kett or the Scourge or whatever else Heleus decides to throw at them.

Prime example how the game needs to get its ass outta 2 (ocasionally 4) choices schematic. There really should be the logical middle option of telling them to work together and that they're BOTH right and wrong on certain aspects of the argument.

Kallo should understand that saftey of the mission and reacting to all the unexpected things encountered in ANdromeda requires modifications, no matter how hard someone worked on the ship before the mission.

Gil needs to understand that disrespecting someone's work ain't gonna lead anywhere in work environment and consulting one of the ship's designer is a logical thing to do when thinking about new improvements.

So I basically switch between backing Kallo and Gil. The whole thing was well written and fun lil story, makes Kallo & Gil more interesting and layered but the conclusion suffers from the mandatory 2-choice resolution.

Also, wish there had been a few more options in the dialogue, exhorting Gil to be more respectful his communications to Kallo early on.

Well technically, it's not your ship. But don't let details or facts get in way, as "your" ship goes down.

It's given to me as Pathfinder therefore it's mine.

Tell you whose ship it isn't, Gil's.

I don't care how good Gil is, safety first. It's why protocols exist, and I'm sure in ME:A universe modifying a ship while it's on air is a no no, as we can see by Kallo's reaction.

Both needs to be slapped repeatedly for being childish.

I went with Kallo because Gil cheats at cards I just haven't proved it yet!!

Gil, because Kallo never presented a strong argument. Gil was making his decision based on adaptability to Scourge, and Kallo was hanging onto sentimental feelings.

Gil.

If Kallo didn't want the ship to be upgraded he shouldn't have been bitching to me about the scourge.
