I am 100% for honoring Nimoy. Does not matter so much how it is done but that it IS done. How about a science ship after him? :) |

I support this idea. While using his likeness or any reference to star trek is opening a can of worms regarding copyright. Some sort of memorial for a good human being is an outstanding idea. |

At some point we can consider that Star Trek is also for something in the existence of a game like Eve Online. Check the NASA website, even our Astronauts on our small planet Earth mourn the death of this symbol http://www.nasa.gov/content/nasa-remembers-leonard-nimoy/index.html A Star or a System to honour his name would be very much appropriate o7 and LLAP
I think what they said at NASA pretty much sums up what Leonard Nimoy was to 2 generations of nerds.
Quote:NASA is mourning the passing of actor Leonard Nimoy, most famous for his role as Star Trek's Vulcan science officer Mr. Spock. The sci-fi classic served as an inspiration for many at NASA over the years, and Nimoy joined other cast members at special NASA events and worked to promote NASA missions, as in this 2007 video he narrated before the launch of the Dawn mission to the asteroid belt. Nimoy also was there for the 1976 rollout of the shuttle Enterprise, named for the show's iconic spacecraft.
NASA Administrator Charles Bolden issued the following statement upon hearing of Nimoy's passing: GÇ£Leonard Nimoy was an inspiration to multiple generations of engineers, scientists, astronauts, and other space explorers. As Mr. Spock, he made science and technology important to the story, while never failing to show, by example, that it is the people around us who matter most. NASA was fortunate to have him as a friend and a colleague. He was much more than the Science Officer for the USS Enterprise. Leonard was a talented actor, director, philanthropist, and a gracious man dedicated to art in many forms. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and the legions of Star Trek fans around the world.GÇ¥

+1 for shuttle, or science ship
Or a memorial orbiting the sun in a high-sec system? This could be the first of such memorials for RL people of note, in the sci-fi genre and RL space sciences, who helped to inspire stuff like EVE Online. Players can go visit and set off fireworks. |

... other regions can have other Star Trek names. I think Goons can have Shatner and Wheaton, I won't even argue about them having two names in their region.

Supported - a T3 dessie or a star system both sound fitting.
That being said - the Gallente Federation most closely mirrors the Federation of Planets in egalitarianism and ethos, not so much the corporate culture of the Caldari State.

Something / anything needs to be a done. Even the smallest gesture to tip the hat to a true icon of the sci fi universe needs to happen from CCP. Maybe we don't all like or respect Star Trek but I'm sure as hell sure that the Sci Fi we do like is in large part thanks to the Original Series.
RIP Leonard Nimoy. |

+1 for a shuttle, but something unique.
Maybe just swap a few letters around (easiest CCP fix ever) and poof, the Leopard becomes the Leonard.
Seed a few BPCs out among the rats, so the ship never goes away. |

what's the big fuss? An actor died.
Alexander Grothendieck passed away a few months ago, I didn't see people asking to name systems/ships after him. |

Same, Nemoy was a great man. But he was just a man like anyone else. I dont see the Sally Ride ship or anything else.

its one of the oldest/longest lasting scifi television series out there, and has its own near-religious level of following.
there IS a difference on teh cultural impact Nimoy has made worldwide
not only that, but Nimoy was a real cool dude even offscreen, easily one of the mroe likable actors from the original series
he was an important man, and deserves reverence |

We know who he is and we know what he's done.
What I am trying to say is a celebrity who has made no real contribution to this world other than acting does not deserve this much attention.
He's an actor, a good one, nothing more, nothing less. |

This being said though, it would not be the first reference in-game to historically-significant icons of science fiction. If you've ever run data sites in null sec, you've more than likely run into one of those black obelisks from Space Odyssey (and if you check their description, it says "It's full of stars").
Aside from you being picky and shooting this down just for the lolz, I don't see any reason not to do it. In fact, you might even say that to ignore the overwhelming amount of player feedback here would be......illogical. |

What I am trying to say is a celebrity who has made no real contribution to this world other than acting does not deserve this much attention. He's an actor, a good one, nothing more, nothing less. Shakespeare did little more than write, and he has statues of himself in front of numerous universities around the world, same with Mark Twain and numerous other writers, people who did little more than make entertainment their lifetime career, and are REVERED for it.
As Spock, and through his other ventures, Leonard Nimoy helped promote a whole generation of interest in space exploration, science, and boldly going where no one had gone before. CULTURALLY, this man helped define a generation, and every generation that came after it. Hell, I know kids who were born in 2006 that know what star trek, who spock, is.
Fact is, if mark twain or shakespeare can get a statue, I see no reason why Nimoy cant get a memorial of SOME kind in a SPACESHIP GAME that might only exist today because of the interest in scifi he helped create. The culture WE live in, and I dont mean that in generational or national terms, but the geek/nerd/space-enthusiast community, had many of its FOUNDATIONS built by this man, yes there were those who came before, and those that came after. While I personally am a fan of Heinlein and Asimov, most people wouldnt know who they are, or have read their books, but almost EVERYONE knows Spock, and Nimoy.
So forgive me if I find your point rather, well, pointless. |
