Would be really cool if we could get a weapon/combat testing facility on the Nexus to preview guns without buying or test ones out before destroying etc. Wasn't there a feature like this on the Citadel in 3? Also, what about being able to participate in the virtual fighting ring on Aya ?

I for one would like to see the nexus get some weapons of it's own, so you know... Spoiler (Highlight to read)Someone doesn't steal an arc without anyone firing a shot.Someone doesn't steal an arc without anyone firing a shot.

I'd prefer one on the tempest, given you spend more time there. Make it like a VR thing that SAM activates and sends signals to your implant so it's like you're really there. One on the nexus would also make sense given that they have an active militia and apex teams which are pretty much the military of the initiative, so they need a place to train. Was odd that they have an apex team system but no visual representation for them outside of a small kiosk and one npc.

Hello @ensiform Cool idea! But would it make sense to have a shooting range on Nexus, considering Andromeda Initiative is a peaceful mission in a first place? 🙂 Cheers, Archi

Well it was supposed to 😉But given the threat from exiles and Kett once we've arrived and established a military (APEX) it seems more plausible to have as an addition after the fact, no?I mean are all the Apex forces just magically good at their weapon proficiencies from the get-go?

I agree with @EA_Archi, but I think you have a good point for having something built after your primary objectives are met, perhaps after 2-3 planets are viable? And probably building it at Kedara Port Slums, because it seems the place where people wouldn't care the least about the outcome.

Add a weapon test facility to Nexus

i figured it would be wise for training the militia at least? maybe a virtual testing-center/shooting-range that allows you to test weapons and augs without building them first? saves room that way.

Which brings us to the paradox of the glass cannon. Would the Nexus still exist if they were able to attack the Kett, if the kett ended up – and they would – beating their weapons? *plays somber music*

With Tann in charge? Highly doubtful they'd ever fire a shot.

An in game apex arena would be fun!
