So now this is a discussion about religion? Well, I do believe in God and even pray sometimes. I am not a true-believer.

1. Apparently.
2. My condolences. 
Of course not, it just includes that. My title disagrees 
(Because, in my view, one must dispose of one's superstitions before being enlightened.)
Ah, you were using your very own definition, rather than the common one "highly educated; having extensive information or understanding" that i'd assume is what is gernerally meant.
You can interpret "having extensive understanding" as not being superstitious. In my definition of "enlightened", I would add "having an open, prejudice-free mind" and "supporting democratic values".
But either way, I bet it won't be a religious person who will break the speed of light. You think they are going to vet the test pilots for religious tendencies? That doesn't bode well for the future of freedom of thought in your future fantasy... |

Back on topic,
Sure, post your design, I would be glad to see them.
I have to announce that my game concept has failed. I have created an AI for the enemy ship and played against it, and I saw that my game just isnt fun enough.
What I was doing was taking start control 2 into the 3RD dimension and it didnt translate well.
I was doing that by putting the two spaceships inside an invisible 3D cube, and if a ship pass from one side of the cube, it will appear on the other (seamleslly of course).
You can even see your own space ship far away from the backwards.
But this conecpt failed because it was simply not fun enough, not fun like plain ol 2D star control.
What do you think?

Nut Case for Star Control
|
Okay, this is what I dislike about these forums, every topic ends up going into a debate about religion.
I'm sorry, that was my bad. i keep forgetting on these forums that mentoning dietical order, even in jest, conjures up the veneral "oh yeah, that's what you think" every time. I've already said my piece on ship and race design. But to get us on topic and repent of my past error I'll have to scan in some of my ship and character designs and post them here.
I tend to think now that people just look for that sort of opening in everything, just to start an arguement, sound intelligent, or otherwise be a fairly stupid gyke. Why should religion come into something like this? I know you actually mentioned it so it actually linked with the thread, but some people will just take it too far, IN FACT Star Control SUGGESTS that there is a Creator. GASP! Yes, the Supox claim that they must be evidence of a Creator, because even with their science, they can't prove how they're like they are. Also, the Arilou and Orz thing sounds similar to the Astral Plane and the Infra-Dimensions (The Orz being from the Infra Dimensions, the Arilou from the Astral and above), if you want to do research on it, be my guest, but like I said, anything to do with Religion shouldn't really be thrown into almost every topic on here.
What I do not like on here however, is the way that there seems to be no respect for another person's religion, but it's done in such a very bad manner, it's basically like "You're wrong because I don't believe in it and therefore it's not true" type of thing. It really ticks me off.
This is not directed at you in any way guesst, it's just I thing I've noticed recently around here...
