A remaster rather than remake allowed us to build upon the original assets in a way that resembles the polishing phase in a normal development cycle, while also being able to utilize the advantages of much more modern hardware and software. Our goal from the onset was to improve and enhance the visuals while staying true to the original aesthetics of the trilogy that have become so iconic and genre-defining over the past decade. It may sound somewhat counterintuitive, but as artists-especially on this remaster-we want players to be able to experience the trilogy again, or for the first time, without being distracted by the art. The art of Mass Effect supports and builds a universe in which rich stories and characters can be fully realized.

This design feature compensates somewhat for the lack of long-range mass relay transport in Andromeda, though these drives are highly inefficient by comparison. While in comparatively short-range environments such as the Heleus Cluster they function similarly to Milky Way drives, kett drive cores are capable of gravitationally contracting space in front of the ship and shortening it behind, creating an Alcubierre waveform that allows the ship to traverse longer distances quickly. The few kett engine cores available for study show that while the kett use element zero cores, their design is radically different.

Air filtration, electrical systems, and heat management mimic behavior seen in living creatures. Closer inspection of kett starships, including several destroyed by the Scourge, has shown that they appear to be heavily biomimetic while not organic, the kett take strong design inspiration from living organisms. The kett utilize a variety of military aircraft, from agile dropships to enormous dreadnoughts.
