Since Star Trek is Milky Way, all ME species have been transplanted into Andromeda.Are we in a Mass Effect Trilogy Galaxy if it was mapped to Andromeda or are we in Mass Effect Andromeda Andromeda?
We voted for the catgirl, so I shall make all the cat puns my heart desires.It's not until I pasted this that I saw the pun. It's very trick to say.
Can someone explain why we apparently want our first contact in Andromeda to be homicidally isolationist xenophobes? People who spent centuries refusing all contact and shooting anything and everything that tried to enter their claimed territory?the only reason I'm voting for Kappa is cause Geth. Also why I chose Rimward, since that's where the Geth are.
No see, that's the Batarians, not the Geth.Can someone explain why we apparently want our first contact in Andromeda to be homicidally isolationist xenophobes? People who spent centuries refusing all contact and shooting anything and everything that tried to enter their claimed territory?
1. Because we want to make robot friendsCan someone explain why we apparently want our first contact in Andromeda to be homicidally isolationist xenophobes? People who spent centuries refusing all contact and shooting anything and everything that tried to enter their claimed territory?
Because they shoot at the AIs, who are protecting themselves. They started the war and never let them in their space. Then Sovereign happened.No, that's the Geth. They straight up state that everyone who ever went to the Perseus Veil was attacked by Geth.
The Batarians are happy to be part of the Citadel.
Your 'decent chance' is calculated on some very uncertain presumptions. Like them using Eezo tech. And being able to detect if a ship has Eezo. And the Geth thinking, despite all evidence, that the Citadel wants or ever wanted to kill them. And that they could come to a consensus to not shoot before their standing decision to shoot takes effect.1. Because we want to make robot friends
2. There's a decent chance they're not going to be immediately homicidal to the weird ship with no Eezo signatures that doesn't match any known Council designs, AKA most of the people who want to kill them all, at which point we put our excellent Diplo score to work and loop back to Point 1.
Supposedly the various ME factions had explored and or colonised about 1% of their galaxy. Statistically unless we can detect Mass Relays / Transwarp Conduits at immense range it will be years if not decades before we stumble across them.I'm not too picky about where we go. We don't even know if the galaxy was sneakily rotated a half-turn just to throw everyone off. And frankly, the amount of galactic space occupied by the ME races is a fairly small fraction of it; it may well be a little before running into any of them.
Mass Effect uses Eezo and the Mass Effect for everything, they probably have some way to detect it, especially because it gives off Dark Energy stuff. Notably, Warp Cores do not give off Dark Energy because they don't have or generate negative mass.Your 'decent chance' is calculated on some very uncertain presumptions. Like them using Eezo tech.

Your optimism is admirable. But illogical.
In the old series, warp factors were based on a cubic function and "more warp speed" just meant "a lot faster." Twice as much warp factor, eight times faster. Simple rule.Warp speed over nine is weird and inconsistent, in Voyager it caused people to turn into salamanders, but in the original series Warps 10,11, and 14 only threatened to destroy the original enterprise after a few seconds.
Though Voyager also puts Warp 10 as literally infinite speed while the original series may just have the normal progression of speed.
Well yeah. The problem is that it's ill-conceived for Roddenberry.That's actually because in between TOS and TNG they changed the scaling of Warp, and Roddenberry implemented a new rule - Warp 10 Is infinite.
Which is why the whole 9.5 is half as fast as 9.975 thing. They weren't allowed to get to 10 because Roddenberry didn't want there to be this endless creep of numbers. Having an enterprise jump to warp 1989 or something.
Which is why I changed the scaling again.
