Do we need Scientology in the game?

[Cmdr Hobgoblin]

Just wondering if that is really necessary. It is a cult and having references in there is something I do not find particularly funny.
Or any other religion for that matter.

 

[Windscreen Smudge]

Many would label Christianity and Catholicism a cult too. The only differentiation between a cult and a religion is size and popularity.

You need to A rate and engineer your sense of humor... Just saying.

 

[Pyrotiger]

No. Not in an avante garde way.

What references? Interstellar Cruise?

 

[Bryan K]

I'd hope that after 1200 years, humanity would've grown up a little more and abandoned such things by 3303.

There's no Space exploration without God's approval.

What we need is a Theocracy power in the game.

I assume you are aware that L Ron Hubbard was a Sci-Fi writer? Despite Scientology being a load of hogwash

Religions are very much alive and well in the time of Elite Dangerous. It's part of the lore.

Cheers,

You do realize that Ron Hubbard is an actor, and in no way related to Leonard Ron Hubbard, right?

 

[AgamemnonWhen]

Ron Hubbard dock? Is that it? It's even missing an 'L'.

There are a bunch of Asimov-named stations; as well as Clarkes, Herberts, Bradburys and The Old Ones know how many more... one sci-fi author with ideas above his station does not a religious bias make.

This.

 

[Pyrotiger]

Hahaha classic.

L Ron Hubbard was famous as a seminal science fiction author well before he founded Scientology (which was his second or third attempt at founding a religion).

Meh. I'm not a fan of Scientology but, I mean c'mon, the guy was a Sci Fi author too.
