Tempest improvements
Kallo will probably have a fit and go all depressed on me for attempting to tamper with his precious tempest.... But... If I can make one improvement to the tempest, I would remove the conference r...
personally i'd rather have heavy duty weapons mounted on her hull, or is it just me?
Thats truth, the room is useless. But I would move the both study rooms there and I would create more sleeping-rooms. There are really not enough, for so many people.

What I dont get is, with space being so limited, Liam could get his couch in there lol... what's that space for? His personal beer drinking spot? And poor old drack lives in the kitchen! I mean look at the kitchen, where does he sleep? Before the game was launched I heard them interview a girl from bioware that worked on the tempest for the last 2-3 years... Are the depts not speaking to each other and they didnt figure out that there's gonna be a 800pound krogan on board?

Short answer, yes and no. I think Peebee's loyalty mission and them leaving in the bouncing safety bar proves it might have been oversight... but then became intentional. Space is definitely not at a premium on the Tempest - but it never was on any ME ship. I think they are all ADA compliant. I thought Drack in the kitchen might just be a Krogan thing - or even a vague reference to Grunt as inside joke.
Just take joy in knowing if you ever want to build a Rube Goldberg machine or go for the domino toppling record you'd probably be safe from accidents.

LOL nope it's not just you, I want them too and so does some of the crew and they actually commented about this during a banter on the tempest, but think cora mentioned something about the tempest not being able to cope with weapons and it may break if they fired a shot, was background banter, so couldnt really hear exactly what was said(adding to my earlier point of not being able to hear the good banter on the tempest). Would love to see the tempest blasting one of those kett cruisers...

the recoil was the issue, the vibrations wrecking the hull, but that's the kind of thing engineers fix... so, give gil time.
Some of the fluff for the researchable Remnant-derived weapons seems to indicate the potential for upscaling the designs as ship-based weaponry.
It wouldn't surprise me if the Tempest's future armaments are Remnant in design.
