Guyz, how did the Titanic sail straight into that iceberg? REAL LIFE PLOTHOLE. GOD IS A LAZY WRiTER So we're comparing the Titanic to a spaceship in the year 2185. Ok.

There are unintentional floating rocks here or there throughout the game.

Man I hated that image so much, mainly because there should have been something similar in Control if you brokered peace. It was a slap in the face. "The Rannoch arc didn't matter" - Mac Walters & Casey Hudson. I refuse to believe the other writers they brought along-- Sylvia specifically who wrote the Synthesis monologue, couldn't realize the logical fallacies they were conjuring up here. Sylvia was the one who wrote the Geth Consensus mission. She took part in drafting the Rannoch arc with Patrick as the manager so they must've known what was what. the synthesis ending deserves the hate it get but not this type of hate. Everyone of the endings is told in the light of the Victor based on the choice made. Not even Shepard is exactly the same if you choose the control ending. Edi is just seeking as a being that 2as changed by that ending choice, it does not mean the only way for peace was to choose synthesis. It just means it was the only choice with no furture problems preceived by her in the state of galexy in synthesis. Don’t take what is said as literal. Remember this is an ending where you let a being win who thinks think the best solution forthe galexy is to turn everything to tools it can control. We are just seeing an ending in the perspective of a being that is hopped up on the catalysis indoctrination.

dude...no. Do you not understand the the ship was on auto pilot when they his the scurge. No one was on the deck yet. Added this is something that is constantly move and expanding that messes with equipment sensors. Uh no. They hit the scourge after Lexi was done examining Ryder. There were already a few people on the bridge, including Captain Dunn & Alec Ryder. Also you see the scourge outside the window when Ryder & Cora walks in. This was my first wtf moment of way too many in this game. By the time the Hyperion hits the scourge, countless bridge crew, engineers, and med staff had woken up, then Ryder has woken up, be examined, had time to drink a cup of coffee, and THEN they hit it. It seems like a MINIMUM of 30-45 min must have passed, plenty of time to see and avoid the scourge. It has been said that "they explain it moves in the book", but it never says that in the game. We fly through it to escape the kett like its not going to move and get us, we are able to plot a course through it, in the final battle we even snuggle up against it without worrying it will move and get us. They never say, "Holy Crap, it moved!", they never warn you about getting too close because it might move....everything in the game makes it seem pretty immobile. Maybe " in the book" they explain a lot of things that dont make sense in the game, but forr those of us who didnt read the book, we are left with a lot of inconsistencies. And this is only the first.....

You can see it move too, in the battle with the remnant ships vs the kett. I just played it last night - the visual was pretty cool. Ryder brings the remnant ships in close to the scourge to basically get it to go after them. Then the kett ships run right into it and are destroyed.

I thought it had something to do with whatever electromagnetic phenomena was occurring. If you notice before Cora defends that red head woman from a lightenting strike, the rocks in that area began to float upward. I just figured the rocks were made of metal.

I thought it was because the scans showed nothing of the sort and the planet looked less than habitable compared to what it was once imagined to be like, plus it's dark energy causing it, and Ryder points out that's supposed to be in Space.

The way I see it, the Hyperion came out of FTL close to Habitat 7, which is full of remnant tech, which the scourge is attracted to. So it is possible that while the scourge does not move much in deep space, it moves here because of the proximity to the planet and the remtech. Therefore, it could have moved to the vicinity of the ship. Also, it being a an unknown phenomenon, the sensors might not have picked it up before they were calibrated (where is Garrus when you need him), so they could only see it out the window, not with instruments. Add to that that the ARKs might not have been designed for rapid maneuvers (unlike the Tempest) and we hit it. Sure, it requires a lot of head canon and good will but what in this game doesn't. As for the floating rocks, sure, it's possible to make rocks float in the ME universe but they don't float on their own and I guess you'd probably need a massive ME field generator to make all those huge rocks float, so that was indeed weird to see.

Because rocks don't normally float? Or maybe there weren't any floating rocks in the Andromeda brochure. Also Cora's scene is the first time she uses biotics, I didn't know she was biotic either.

That part always kind of bothered me. If I play as a biotic she acts like she's the only one with her snide reply to Liam.

Liam just watched me use my biotic powers without comment, Cora says she's known me for sometime, so saying to Liam it's not contagious is just odd imo. The game most likely sees you as Security and never points out your other abilities.

Reread the lore about biotics and humanity's reaction to it. People forget about it because it all in me1. Anyone in the alliance military do not react to it because they are full of biotics. Ryder would never get a reaction from anyone in or from the alliance military. Different story from people out side of it. Liam and most of the crew of the Hyperion are civilians.and biotic have alot of bad rumors outside the alliance as stated by me1.

I use my biotics in front of him and he never reacts, but he reacts to Cora and she acts like she's the only biotic. I had hoped our own abilities would be acknowledged.

So we're comparing the Titanic to a spaceship in the year 2185. Ok. Don't be an apologist for bad writing son. We have a telescope that can see millions of lightyears away, a ship that can avoid obstacles DURING FTL but can't see this scourge nonsense from a couple of meters away? GTFO with your hand waving poorly explained nonsesne. "A durr we can't see it because sensors and the autopilot can't hit the fucking brakes when we run into something." Gimme a fucking break.

As I recall the Scourge is dark energy. Their scanners wouldn't pick it up unless they were specifically on the look out for it.

Right, because they have to set their scanners to dark energy scanning mode to scan for dark energy... So how would they be able to avoid crashing into these fields of dark energy during FTL if their sensors weren't on 'dark energy scanning mode?'

Well they didn't avoid them though. Lots of their craft were damaged... The Hyperion came out of FTL as scheduled and THEN hit it, with no collision indication. The Scourge wasn't a deep/dark space anomaly. Its localized, there are large patches in some star systems, but mainly present around areas with remnant tech.
I don't think anyone successfully flew through the scourge until after they'd began studying it.
One of the NPC's in the game mentions having to skirt it, and it being a challenge due to the way it moves around, do its acknowledged in that way that they're constantly accounting for the scourge once they KNOW about it.
I don't think their scanners have a "dark energy mode" but given the nature of the scourge it would register as nothing. Its a negatively charged absence that warps space/time, on a scale previously unheard of that was (at first contact) beyond their understanding.

You are coming to a point that you don't want answers and just want to hate just to hate.
