I know someone who put up a Normandy-themed shelving unit [https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/21656_482107665154862_820861201_n.jpg] at her new place. Does that count?BlackStar42 said:

Built it, I think. Lemme see.... Here we go: [http://project-giana.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=213&start=100#p3287]BlackStar42 said:
Same here, I imagine that in the end we lost twice as much time riding through the mountains rather than intended paths.Daaaah Whoosh said:
And in that vein, the wreck of the Normandy's Mako can be seen when you visit the crash site.Talvrae said:
It's weird, because there's this universal hatred for the Mako... that I can't really find any evidence for. I loved the stupid thing. Sure, it's controls were floaty, but we were in low-G conditions most of the time. Sure, it didn't control like a REAL tank, but it's a vehicle in a 3rd person shooter Space Sci-Fi RPG, give it some slack. Sure, it could get wedged into crevasses in the planet's terrain if you tried to go to the "Wrong" place, but honestly that's more a condemnation of the planets they gave us than about the Mako.
I always affectionately called it the "Bumble Rover," because it roved alien planets and moons and bumbled about with every turn, rock, enemy, what have you. Removing it from ME2 and replacing it with that GODAWFUL hovercraft that could be taken down by a single Geth Dootler (the regular crappy ones, not the Armitures or Colossi) was a boneheaded manouevere if ever there was one. I know I spelled that wrong, but since I was bound to get it wrong, I decided to go big. Ah well. At least the Mako wasn't forced to be teleported into a Human Blender Hallway, then converse with Shithead the Fucktard Ghost and then condemn the universe to one of four almost equally bad fates.
Now that I think of it, can we get a Mass Effect 3 Ending remake where at the last second, before Shepard picks one of the endings, the Mako crashes through a wall, runs over the Starboy somehow, and Shepard hops in and they just fly out and kill all the reapers in space? Maybe work in some Reaper Dialogue how they can't hit the Mako because it's too damn bouncy? I can dream...

Yes, but the steering/acceleration and camera/aiming controls DO strike a strong resemblance to those of the Scorpion Tank. It just happens to be more nimble.Devoneaux said:
OT: Any plans to up the traction to ridiculous levels? Can't call it the Mako otherwise.
False! You see the Mako again in the Mass Effect 2 Normandy Crash Site DLC, and you can see several Makos in Mass Effect 3 when you return to Earth.IanDavis said:
Anyway, saw her upload this to her deviantArt account a bit back (around March I think). She even got pictures of it with a bunch of people related to the Mass Effect series.
