VAULTS | Their real purpose. Your thoughts?
I was mulling over this idea – surely, most likely wasting my time with it – of the purpose of a Vault.
The story we have is:
Long range scanners identified potential worlds, 600 years back. ...

There are actually 90 stars (or similar celestial objects) with 20 light years of Earth. It's not really that impossible, especially with how many planets we can detect already.
i'm not an astronomer, so i'll take your word on that. did i compare MEA to actual reality? if i did it was not my intent. i was just trying to point out that in the previous trilogy there were typically only 3-4 star systems in a cluster, i think the smallest was 1, and the most was something like 7... so now in this single cluster we have 38 star systems. is there anything to that?

Well, I do have to say that BW have gone out of their way to make it feel more closely related to our reality. I mean those shots on the moon and the whole NASA link was pretty obvious to me. Also using the periodic table for materials is a nice touch there.
Maybe you didn't compare it to actual reality but BW certainly did.
They didn't with the previous games so much and I think that the difference there is that this game is more about exploration than the previous ones and therefore more star systems end up on your map. I wouldn't say that they didn't exist in the previous games, they were just limited as the content was a bit more limited overall. It certainly was more story driven and ME:A is more exploration driven. So I wouldn't see the star maps in the previous games as meaning that that's all there was. It was simply all that was used in the game.
At least that's how I interpret it.
