Thank you cryptic for listening to the games fan in creating a memorial to not only Leonard Nimoy, bot to Deforest Kelly, James Dohan, and the great bird himself Gene Roddenberry . Thank you for that .

And you'll bet that Zombie and Ghost Spock will be there
Probably flanked by Zombie and Ghost Bones, Scotty and all the rest
Some people are poorly-raised trash. Ignore them.
Maybe those people need a memorial to their long dead sense of respect.
"He shall be my finest warrior, this generic man who was forced upon me.
Like a badass I shall make him look, and in the furnace of war I shall forge him.
he shall be of iron will and steely sinew.
In great armour I shall clad him and with the mightiest weapons he shall be armed.
He will be untouched by plague or disease; no sickness shall blight him.
He shall have such tactics, strategies and machines that no foe will best him in battle.
He is my answer to cryptic logic, he is the Defender of my Romulan Crew.
He is Tovan Khev... and he shall know no fear."
Regarding the statues, I'm hopeful that collision exists around and over them. To keep everyone away from them. In other words, look. But don't touch. Or dance on them.
this is indeed pure win and the single best thing that cryptic has done for STO in many years. Kudos
-The Spock Memorial is the best expansion to date and the players actually do love it!
Thank you Cryptic. This is absolutely amazing.
Your father was captain of a starship for twelve minutes. He saved 800 lives, including your mother's, and yours.
I dare you to do better.
Agreed .
It's also nice that each faction received something so no one is left feeling out .
... except the Lethians . They always feel left out . Damn telepaths ...
Though I have a feeling that it's going to be quite some time before Vulcan sees the end of the "Memorial Balls" being used.
:rolleyes:
(I'm kinda-sorta hoping that They also diabled party actions there with this patch)
I Was A Trekkie Before It Was Cool ... Sept. 8th, 1966 ... Not To Mention Before Most Folks Around Here Were Born!
Forever a STO Veteran-Minion
Will ghost spock have a head this time?
Thank you.
Thank you.
Heaven Bless...
I have an idea for what Season 11 should be; Season 11: The Big Bug Fix.
I have not been able to read my bug tickets in over a year, not even the tickets about not being able to see my tickets.
I find the drama of your signature proof of your immaturity, this means you, DR whiners.
Im usually not a cryptic supporter but in this case thank you cryptic as a fan of star trek and mr nimoy and his character spock thanks
But my idea I posted on the forums was better:
If I were EP, this is the memorial I would do: I would want it to make sense In game. The stuffy Vulcans would never honor Spock with anything on Vulcan. New Romulus isnt worthy to have ANYTHING there. As for getting visited by Klingons too, who cares, load your Fed toon, we all have one.
I would have a mini mission where Admiral Quinn was dedicating a new memorial / inspiration wing on the grounds of Starfleet Academy dedicated to the finest crew in Starfleet, the crew of the USS Enterprise 1701. It would be a small building on the campus, you would walk in the front door to a small lobby that had pictures of the Enterprise and clickable memorial plaques that opened popup text to describe some of the ship and crew's most memorable missions. The plaques would only have a faint outline glow to them, not that over the top firery glow STO uses now. Then a door in the center of the lobby that opened up to a scale TOS Bridge of the USS Enterprise. Inside, a holographic representation of Kirk, Spock, Scotty, Bones, Uhura, Chekov, and Sulu. They wouldnt flicker like obvious holograms either. They would be at their iconic stations with one or two canned animations each.
Kirk would mostly look at his view screen with that signature grin on his face. After a few seconds, he'd press the intercom button on his right arm console and lean over to mouth inaudible words into it where we see his mouth move. He'd sit back then a blonde generic yeoman with an obvious nod to Rand would appear out of thin air by the turbolift, walk down to Kirk, hand him a padd, he looks it over, signs it, hands it back to her, she walks back up to turbolift doors and disappears until the animation reloads in a few minutes.
Spock would be sitting at his station, ocasionally looking back at the viewscreen. He'd stand up and lean over to look into his viewer thingy. Then he'd stand straight up, turn to look at the viewscreen, raise an eyebrow. Then sit back down to start the loop over again. Each character would be on a 3 minute loop.
Uhura would look back and forth at her station and the viewscreen, holding her hand to her ear occasionally.
Sulu and Chekov would look lively at their stations always seated and looking at viewscreen. Scotty would be at station on the right. Mccoy would stand near Uhura, and be on a loop to walk down by the captain and stand and look at viewscreen with Jim, then walk back up, and walk over to stand near Spock during the loop minute Spock is standing up and looking at viewscreen too.
By each character would be a small readable plaque mounted into the console areas by the characters. It would also have a subtle glow around the plaque outline. Each plaque would say the characters full name, with starfleet service record year span 22XX - 22XX written below the character name. Each plaque would have the bottom half reserved for the actor's name if we already lost them. So Spock's gold plaque would say
Spock
Starfleet Service
22XX - 22XX
In Loving Memory of
Leonard Nimoy
19XX - 2015
When you click on the plaques, it had a long description of that characters most memorable moments of their service in Starfleet.
Kirk's plaque would be mounted standing up on the left arm of his chair. The others would be hard mounted into the stations right next to them, and Mccoys somewhere between Uhura and the turbolift where he'd stand next to. I dont want any glowy floaty things in there. I want the plaques to blend in, very subtle glows, and the viewscreen would have memorable mission moments as a slideshow on the viewscreen. We can take our toons onto the bridge and stand next to each character to take our printscreen picture with them.
Id want the best representation of each actor's face possible. As well as Picardo was drawn, not like Seven, the animated NPCs really need to look a LOT like Shatner, Nimoy, Kelly, etc. When the actor passes away, we fill in the death year under their name on the plaque. Starfleet academy would do this in their world, now that it seems Spock is not coming back, and Star Trek and STO owe a lot to the original crew that started it all. I would think each actor would be fine with using their young faces as a memorial with the rest of their cast.
Icing on the cake would be to have Patrick Stewart read each characters biography after you clicked on the plaques, but thats likely asking too much.
Anyways, thats how Id tastefully memorialize the original crew and the actors who played them.

Thank you Cryptic for adding the memorial to Spock/Nimoy, DeForest Kelly, James Douhan.
Plus the black bunting at the major social hubs.. good touch.
