I skipped over a few posts about this and i think ive seen that title was decided against already. No need for any further explanations.
Its more of my reaction against such extreme inaccuracies and distortions when talking about space. (it can have a place in space-fantasy settings but not anything trying to look a bit more realistic and plausible)
Plus it would make it sound as if the Earth is Eden and that doesnt agree with the background story as ive seen it so far.
I do know the christian or catholic origin of the project wont be directly the matter of the game, but the obvious consequences of it as the society on the ship deteriorates. I still consider it, personally, a cliche which feeds the gameplay of faction this, faction that, nobody is good, everyone is shit yadda, yadda, yadda, power strugles, you MUST MAKE YOUR WAY blah, blah, blah. Worked in AOD, but here it just sounds mindnumbing to me. Which isnt any kind of consideration for the company.
Wrapped into what is practically an overdone cliche in Science Fiction in general. And the main narrative seems to be hinging on the characters not knowing its a colony ship anymore - while the player does, which removes any surprise or suspense about it.
Maybe that changed more or less. Its all still a cliche.
Even such an overdone theme which doesnt bring anything really knew to the formula can be done in interesting ways if the writing is good and characters are strong, but as an overall theme it does nothing for me.
Anyway, Star Ark (or Ark to the Stars) is a clear and ok title, pointing out something is traveling to the stars or a specific star - not space, and that it has religious connection or background. While the ark itself was full of all kinds of living beings, not specifically religious ones.
