Advent things first but there's a fair few shiny screenshots coming afterwards ... definitely worth it :-D.
Advent Day 20 and behind the doors we see :
Marshmallow of the day is a Salted Caramel marshmallow, which is one of the packs I'll pick up when I get the chance (or if I'm ordering, which will happen after Xmas !). Tasty and different. It's good to go for different.
No idea what the Star Wars thingy of the day is, I'm guessing that it's the Ion Cannon that protects the Hoth Base.
In the background we see SR2 Normandy, the ship that sees you through Mass Effect 2 and 3, this time in Systems Alliance colours. She's a heavy frigate, upgraded from the ship you have in the first game. The Normandy was a prototype experiment, engineered and designed for maximum stealth. (The lore in game is really good at expanding this out) The idea being that the ship is your hub from going from place to place and can get in and get out without alerting any hostile people with say, anti space ship guns. You can walk around the ship too, visit the various spaces and talk to the crew. They feel like living ships that could properly do a job in their universe. They're fighting ships too, unlike the unarmed scout ship of Mass Effect Andromeda.
The design follows that aim, of a fighting stealth frigate ... but they also made it a pretty one too. A great centrepiece for the games and when a Certain Event happened in Mass Effect 2, that was incredibly sad to watch happen. (No spoilers)
The Elitecember theme today is Nebula ... Bit had to draw one of these because it's essentially a cloud in space. I've visited some before and posted the screenshots but I thought for today's post, I'd go on a journey.
What did I find in the end ? Well, one place is waiting for a later post but ...
