I think a thread where we pay our respects is enough, anything created in game as a memorial should be done solely by the players themselves and not CCP (as it has been so far).

I feel bad for Sean Smith and his family, but I could care less about Vile Rat.

I think renaming a nullsec system VR-RIP or some memorial version thereof is a great idea, how about VFK-IV?

Honestly after reading about exactly why Sean died, the sacrifice he made so that other men and women will be able to spend christmas with their children this year and for many years to come, after reading some of the stories people have shared about the guy. I gotta admit that any reluctance I had about CCP officially honoring the man in game are completely gone. Fact is their are certain members of this community that have done more for it than the majority of us ever will, Sean Smith was one of them, and on top of that he gave his life so that who knows how many others may live. The least we could do is immortalize him with some sort of pixels in the form of a monument, his favorite ship, something somewhere in the game. And so what if it sets a precedent, does anyone think Sean is gonna be the last great contributor of this game to ever pass away? Will people not want to honor other great contributors to our community such Chribba, Seleene, Shadoo, and others who's names I'm too new to know?
Fact is the guy deserves it, and the fact he was a Goon is beside the point, so I say let their be a monument, the only question is really what would be the most fitting, and what is CCP willing to create.

I can't help but wonder if it had been someone like Chribba who died would their even be a discussion?
