@nk1506 1- If we didn't specify the kind of gear/equipment that our character would be using in our form (like I did), will we explain what we get in a IC post, or should I edit my form?As far as I understand it we're just on our way to pick up the tech now, so should get the opportunity to explain the gear/equipment IC just as soon as the lift finally gets there. I know people complain about the lifts in
Mass Effect, but two-weeks for a ride down to the cargo bays seems a little excessive. :P
@nk1506 2- Would conglomerate be the correct word for the EMA Conglomerate? I mean, wouldn't Federation or Republic or Union fit a bit better? 'Cause, as far as I know, a conglomerate is a combination of two or more corporations engaged in entirely different businesses that fall under one corporate group.A conglomeration is any group formed from disparate factions, and could imply that the constituent members were federal, republican, dictatorships, or pretty much any form of government prior to joining the EMA. If some are still autonomous within the Conglomeration they might take offense at being referred to as 'Federal states', or whatever.
@nk1506 3- Not really an important question, but I just though about it making my post. Indar says "By god" when talking about the elevator. Would people still believe in God, or Christianity, or any organised religion in that point in time? Would we have proven/disproven religion by that point? Or would it just have been fazed out?Personally I'm of the opinion that there will always be some form of religious belief, whether people choose to accept it as such or not. In the future people may turn away from deities and spiritual beings and instead take up worshipping technology and science instead. Also different people across multiple planets and colonies would likely develop their own versions of established religions, creating off-shoot faiths with differing philosophical beliefs and practices.
Saf's a non-practicing
Pastafarian, although she only converted to the religion so she and her wife could have their service in a Pizza Hut restaurant when they got married.
Yolanda's a hard-line Fundamentalist Pastafarian who believes that the True Word of the FSM has been watered down by modern believers and has dedicated herself to the return of the True Path of Pastafarianism, as described in
The One True Book. Luckily that just means that the couple tend to eat pasta most of the time and celebrate Holiday instead of Christmas each year, and occasionally laugh at Creationists.
Unfortunately it does mean that Saf's more likely to attack pirates vigorously, as she perceives them as infringing on her religious beliefs, profaning her faith.
