i second the motion

unfortunately, unless the planets rotation is locked by the star (like Gliese C..maybe D?) or it has a rather substantial satellite the planets rotational/axis shifts are going to make it hard to colonize long term with its poler caps racing across its surface.

Also, the gravity is 1.7G. Therefore your weight will bei ncrease and anyone who isn't a athlete can't walk on there xP

Gravity = Bad D: since it's like carrying another you around.

Hopefully, it's the Asari and they gives us Element Zero and Mass Effect drives so I can leave this crappy planet and kill me some reapers.

Who am I kidding, I'd be Conrad Werner....

i was thinking of starting another run through....

I only finished it once.

Seeing as I just finished my Arcane Warrior on DA:O, I think I'll do a femshep on ME1 and ME2.

you could play it a second time and its almost like a new game..as along as you dont make the same choices.

unfortunately im super anal about it and any new playthroughs...i start on mass effect..then run the character through 2

fem sheps the way to go, better voice actor...plus she damn sexy as renegade

I haven't played a renegade femshep yet, but Jennifer Hale (Bastila) is a million times better as Shepard then the Male Shep. As my first and favorite Shepard is my Paragon femshep.

IMO at least.

I have made a horrible choice in the ME1 and made a soldier (tbqh I forgot the names of classes so not sure if that is even correct) which is boring as hell.

And continued it to ME2 for carry overs.

Play an Adept for ME1, Biotics were so much fun in that game.

Biotics are fun in general actually.

favorite class in me2 was either infiltrator or adept...had to do infiltrator on insanity though... i tried with the others and got messed the hell up...those collectors mean business

I'm still stuck in my insanity run on ME2. I did a Nightmare run on DA:O instead, I'll probably get around to doing Insanity on ME2.

its absolutely crazy...but iv decided that if they let you do insanity off the bat like they did in me2 ill do it again... because its was pretty damn fun/frustrating... especially when your running around as a lvl 5 trying to kill geth primes

In me your not evil, renegade is reminiscent to chaotic good. Your saving the galaxy one way or the other...renegade just let you do it in a more badass fashion

Jennifer Hale > other guy, as far as voice acting goes.

Shit, I love Mass Effect. Probably played the first one four times all the way through, and the second one probably five times.

Once you get the RB-pause style of gameplay down, the hardest difficulty becomes a cinch. Especially with a Vanguard or Infiltrator.

Anyway, on topic, this is exciting news. I'm stunned to find out that there are only around 500 planets outside our solar system that have been catalogued, but I guess that makes sense, seeing as when I was in sixth grade, I remember the discovery of "Planet X." Still, I thought they've made more progress.

Even so, awesome. I can't wait to see what the future holds, as far as astronomic discoveries are concerned.

Most are with in 20 light years away.

If we could create a suitable easily replenishable fuel/propulsion system (my money is on the Russian ion thrusters. They're not usable to to break through the atmosphere but work rather well in space. Upside is that minimal fuel need be held in the space craft since they pull hydrogen from space and super heat it to produce and disperse an ion charge) if we could ever reach speeds of close to .3c that's only a 60 trip.
Granted a lot can go wrong in 60 years. But if successful think off the possibilities and sights those explorers would see and be apart of.

*related note*
Scientist are moving rather quickly in creating bio-nanobots for the purpose of boosting immune systems and destroying free radicals in the bloodstream before they cause damage to your body. Essentially halting the aging process in its tracks. not saying it will be viable anytime soon. But if we do ever send out an intersolar vessel, coupled with nano technology 60 years could be only a fraction of a humans life span at that point in the future.
