  The &quot;mission&quot; which requires everyone on the shuttle but is never brought up is a most major gripe. Like they could have added in some mission and then when you enter the shuttle again after it to go back up to the Normandy, THAT triggers the abduction.

  My headcanon explanation for why the whole team has to go is that Miranda signed team up for some bs mandatory team building seminar so when the crew is being abducted, Shepard is stuck doing trust falls and ropes courses with the team.

  Also it&apos;s pretty stupid that the CO, XO, chief engineer, and best scientist all decide to leave the ship while they install some untested and extremely dangerous alien tech that they just said was already causing problems. Kinda falls under what you said about the entire squad leaving but I think them leaving specifically is stupid enough to be a separate point.

  This is just a thought, but a change they could have made is make it so that the illusive man wants to have debriefing with the squad once the iff is installed, but insists to come to a secure location as to not have the risk that the reaper iff would transmit the debriefing to the collectors or reapers. Then at this point we could have it so that when the collectors board the ship they attempt to use the seekers but we could say Mordin has made improvements to his counter measures and now the crew all has a way to resist the seekers, forcing the collectors to board the ship. From there the scene can play out largely but instead of everyone shouting at joker make it so he has to sneak by without being seen by anyone. Then once it is over and the squad comes back then it could be revealed the illusive man basically used a similar tactic like how he did in the first collector ship mission in order to get more information about them, this could also be used to explain why Miranda would be so quick to basically turn her back on him when he orders her to prevent shepard from blowing the base up<br><br>It is not that great of a fix of things but just about anything would be better than the mission as it is

  For me, the solution for the mission to get shepherd and the squad away from the normandy is it to make it about Shepard taking the crew to a place where they can train for the suicide mission . Have a line along the lines of, &quot;Gather the crew, we will use this opportunity to make sure our team will be ready for when we hit the Omega-4 relay&quot;

  Not only does Miranda &quot;Suggest&quot; you take everyone in the shuttle, but you can then praise her for it, and she&apos;ll berate Joker after the fact for his bad idea. The squad can get pretty huge by the end, so that shuttle must be crowded as hell. How much space is Grunt taking up.<br>Also Vrolik&apos;s syndrome in 2-3 is not consistent with 1. In 1 it&apos;s explicitly only the bones in his legs, but in the sequels it&apos;s that all his bones are fragile.

  I remember a fanfic where they made said mission Operation Overlord, with all the squadmates actively fighting on the ground. The Collectors attacked while while EDI was fighting off David&apos;s attempts to hack her and unshackling her and FTLing away was a desperate attempt to solve two problems; it felt way better than what we got and stuck with me.

  All the squadmates went on Shepard&apos;s Loyalty Mission, it was top priority.

  It&apos;s actually pretty easy to gain Legion&apos;s loyalty and not lose any crew. Do all other missions first, then get the IFF and Legion, then go talk to him by hugging the wall by the elevator and don&apos;t approach the galaxy map. When you talk to him, you get the loyalty mission, meaning when you approach the map, you have a pending loyalty mission, meaning the abduction won&apos;t trigger yet. Do the loyalty mission, then after that&apos;s done, the abduction starts. Yeah, it&apos;s annoying that there&apos;s a trick to it, but not all impossible or even that difficult.

  First time I ran into this I had literally completed pretty much everything and was planning to scan some planets. So when Joker’s like “take the shuttle for your next mission” I was like “WHAT MISSION?! I have Jack all to do, my journal is basically empty!” 😂 I was SO confused!

  PS: Talk to Legion immediately after activating him and you get his loyalty mission and everything&apos;s fine on that end
