You're right, just about every aspect of the game feels at least a little rushed. To be honest the fact that ME3 wasn't a next-gen launch title kinda surprised me. Don't get me wrong, I'm really happy it wasn't, because I not only were fans not required to buy a new machine, we also didn't have to put up with the pain in the ass that would've been transferring our saved games to the new system. I just wish that EA would've given Bioware the time to put on every lair of polish the game needed, I mean just look at what a few extra months did for the ending.

And to answer Zxjkl's question, part of the reason we never see any Salarian ships is because according to the codex the Salarian's purposely maintain a small fleet. They rely on topnotch intelligence, preemptive action, and Asymmetric strategies(like the genophage) to defend themselves. That and Bioware was probably too busy to worry about it.
