Everything I've found wrong in ME:A (feel free to add anything I've missed)

And like I mentioned before, it isn't a 600+ year loop to send messages back. QEC is instantaneous no matter how far you are.

@arthurh3535 in that case, they should all already know what happened on earth and all these side quest missions that mention cerberus and other things that happened on ME1-3 instead of rayder asking what those things are he should already know (I mean if I was asleep for 600+ years and woke up and had an instant way to connect with home the first thing I would do is learn what happened in the past 600 years!, doesn't make a lot of sense to me).

 

And like I said before, if the reapers live in dark space, how can BIOWARE explain the fact that the initiative traveled dark space without them noticing them, and how is it that the reapers don't know about andromeda? again, no sense what so ever.

QEC requires an uninterrupted communication chain and the FTL com buoys are probably near real time, but you need both ends effectively. The Initiative probably isn't letting people know that there is no communication with the Milky Way. Heck, the Nexus leadership probably doesn't realize that this is that out of norm. The only one that even knows about the start of the invasion is Ryder.

Your first point is easy. Space is huge and at the time you left, the Reapers were travelling towards the Milky Way. Easy for ships to "pass in the night" and miss each other. The Reapers may very well have known of the Andromeda expedition. And if they had won the war, probably would have caught up and destroyed the fleet mid-flight.
