I don't really like some of the ideas. In my opinion, retaining the core of the gameplay is as important as the story. In this case, the most important is having a ship (or anything that could replace Normandy's role). I would also like it to take place after Mass Effect 3, because they could return some characters and story elements. They would need to choose one of the endings as canon, though. And finally, they would need to make it big, not start from scratch. Following up a trilogy (or any saga) usually ends in failure.
