Andromeda - Collected Ideas & Suggestions
Hey everyone! I've noticed that among the various threads and debates, etc. there are some cool ideas we would like the writers and devs to look at and consider for future inclusion in ME:A1-whenever...
Forum Discussion
I enjoyed your ideas, and I hope that they mostly get used in some form in the next Andromeda
.
I would love to see more of the other twin, at least as a squadmate, if not a character trade-off or coop mode like Halo. It would also be interesting to see some of the interactions with the crew and their relationships, especially if you had a baby-capable romance and supported Gil, Drack, and the rogue Dr. lady in their plans to have kids. Lots of discussion, trade-offs, and hanging up on the council to be done there.
I read the Kett as being styled in part on the late Roman Republic, and we just ran into the self-aggrandizing general who has gotten sent to pacify the galaxy's equivalent of Gaul or Britannia. I expect that with Archon dead we will have the Kett send out an official distress call, and probably sometime in the next game we will see a new Kett "legion" turn up to investigate. It will be interesting to see how much of the gene modding was standard Kett behavior and how much is from the Archon's Jardaan cult.
Also, one way or another, I expect to see post-invasion arks turning up. Probably the first few would be full of refugees, escapees, and continuation-of-government outfits created by some of the groups that stole the Initiative's tech, and then depending on your choices, the rest would be more refugees getting smuggled out of the Milky Way or full of survivors who couldn't handle living in the rubble of the Milky Way.
The romance definitely needed an upgraded; I'm not sure why at this point you can't romance whoever you want regardless of which gender you choose.
Also I doubt there will be anymore arrivals from the Milky Way. Most probably didn't know of the Initiative and the Arks required massive resources. Further if the Initiative was a last ditch attempt for the races to have a chance to continue from the Reaper invasion; why lead the Reapers right to them?

While I suspect that the Benefactor arranged for most of the evidence of the Initiative in the Milky Way to be eliminated, most of the major covert intelligence organizations were tapped into the Initiative, a fact that I believe is at least partially confirmed by some of the characters we meet. If you read the Benefactor speculation threads you will see quite a few possibilities for this group, besides the obvious government agencies. Even assuming that many of these groups lost their Initiative records or didn't have the resources to pursue this option on any scale, that would still leave several who could covertly create at least small arks without being noticed, similarly to Cerberus creating Normandy 2. As for other arks, after the assault on Earth, I suspect that Liara would use her resources to begin creating them, either as lifeboats or as a way to leave the sorrows of the Milky Way behind. In the latter case, one of the arks may wind up containing Liara and her little blue Shepard.
Some more ideas.
Melee dash powers:
Biotic Dash- discharges a biotic wave that has chance to knock back enemies in a small area
Tech Dash- discharges an electric pulse that has chance to stun enemies in a small area
Combat Dash- additional melee damage, ignores shields and armor
Sidearm:
Like a melee weapon, this is a free weapon slot for all characters but it must be from the pistol category. For the Pistols upgrades at level 6 one of the options becomes Dual Wield, where the character can use two pistols at once (no additional bonuses for the level). The pistols must be the same but the player does not have to craft/purchase a second one.
Ensnare (combat power):
Temporally wraps a small enemy in reinforced wires preventing them from attacking and increases damage against them
Bolts (tech power):
Unleashes multiple small electric bolts that damage enemies, lower shields and have a chance to stun
Echo (biotic power):
Creates a biotic apparition that appears near enemies, distracting them from the player and attack the apparition
Heat Sink
When customizing a gun, give the player a choice of using the vintage heat sink that recharges or the modern one that discards rather than the vintage being an augmentation. Reduce the magazine capacity penalty of the vintage but increase recharge time
Base Armor Layer
Have the basic, underlying armor be upgradeable also; think like the Medical Exoskeleton from the original ME. This can have different upgrades than the outer armor layers.
