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...
Given we are talking about Tempest functionality as well, I think we, as Ryder, could promote some default events in the Tempest. For example, a sushi-night (please, just take the idea and avoid saying: but we have no ingredients to make a sushi! Where will we get fish, blah, blah), where you can offer yourself to cook something for your crew, have some of them in the galley. That conference room which you rarely use and mainly on quest order. Just like the Normandy, much of your ship is basically cosmetic. Past time they do something that really makes use of all fancy stuff.

As I recall, Drack seemed to have appointed himself in charge of the home cooked meals. That being said, I do like the idea of the crew sitting down to dinner together periodically, possibly in the conference room or Ryder's room.
Also, if the Tempest, or Tempest-class, were intended for the human pathfinder, Alec might have talked the design crew into including a family-sized quarters, since Alec planned to be traveling with his family.
I do hope the Tempest does acquire some means of defense other than strapping Drack to the nose of the ship.
It would also be nice if we could personalize the Tempest for ourselves and our crew as we go, such as roses in the bio-lab, random souvenirs in my cabin, and a growing collection of Remant data cores in Peebee's lab
The Tempest is a perfect example of the naivity and idealismen of the andromeda initiative however one has to keep in mind that the A-I are a civilian operation and there are laws and regulations that prevent civilians from being as heavily armed as a military .. and no Cerbereus don't count A-I's founder had not the background, connections or resources of Tim
though one has to wonder how A-I got their hands on a Normandy Stealth Drive and why it seemingly don't work given how easily the Arckon finds you
Overral I like the tempest for what it is, it's not the magical plot device that the SR 1-2 was it's simply a ship that brings you from A to B
my guess is that the tempest didn't have their ies stealth system engaged when they ran into the archon's flagship... as the emission sinks don't function indefinitely, well, not without melting the crew anyway.
